I don't wash nice shirts/tops unless it is soiled (dirt, food, potential stain, etc.) or something is causing an odor lol. Long sleeve shirts worn in cooler temps rarely get washed. Undershirts and short sleeved shirts get washed often due to the summer heat in south LA. Also for non-whites I use Woolite Dark, wash in cold water, and hang to dry when I do wash. Keeps everything looking new and holding up much longer.

Interesting, this is exactly how I treat my clothes... thought I was alone in this. I don't sweat and always wear a tee/henley so my shirts rarely get laundered (always with Woolite Dark, cold water, hang dried). Even less so with denim, which has the downside of fades taking forever lol.

This is a good idea but I'm sweaty individual and hate wearing undershirts.. Hmmm

That's good solid justification for you to buy more shirts! I mean, you have to because you wear them out faster, right?

Yeah i only wash denim when absolutely necessary…but I don't have any real fancy denim. Some selvedge Levis is as nice as I have. Scared to dip my toe in that water given how carried away I can get lol

I think nobody mentioned this Naiomi Glass jacket yet and since it looks close to RRL aesthetic, I am sharing it

I really like every piece in this photo, but I think wearing them all at once is too matchy. Maybe it's for the purpose of showing more products with fewer photos?

 

[Freecard]

I love the color combination but the jacket itself is a bit too Faherty / modern.

One of my biggest disappointment in RRL was when they teased this jacket month before the release, and the actual one was patchwork instead of aligned patterns, otherwise it would have been one of my grail pieces :

As for wearing all the pieces at once, indeed thats probably what you said about having them all on a single photo.

Cultizm has 25% off promotion some new items. Got myself the red denim shirt

Do it. I have a couple pairs of Levi's selvedge (they're nice, but now I only wear them as knock-around jeans) and a few pairs of RRL. They're a cut above. Just ordered a backup pair of once-washed that are arriving today. I don't really like washes/distressing.

Yeah, genetics treated me well here. I barely sweat and (according to my trustworthy, brutally honest wife) have no body odor. And the best thing I ever did is switch to aluminum-free deodorant. Zero stains.

I use driclor antiperspirant roll on instead of just deodorant. This product eliminates sweating completely. Apply it to armpits at night and rinse off in the morning. Do this 2-3 nights in a row. It will be a bit uncomfortable (itchy) in the beginning, but worth it IMO. You won't sweat for months. Re-apply just once when needed. Use it with regular deodorant.

On the subject of undershirts:

Can someone recommend a high quality but light weight undershirt? I primarily use the Buzz Rickson white t-shirts, but they are 100% cotton and heavy weight. I do like the cut of those shirts, so if anyone knows a similar cut & quality that's lighter weight, please let me know.

Would also appreciate a recommendation for a solid V neck undershirt. Sometimes, you just don't want the undershirt to be visibile. I tried the uniqlo airisim V neck undershirts, but I don't like the quality of those things. Very flimsy.

Warehouse tees aren't cheap, but they are lightweight and very well made. I really like the substantial ribbon collar on them. Perfect for an undershirt. I bought a bunch in almost every color but white recently.

Schaefer's Garment hotel makes good lighter tees, but not cheap.

Have some really light weight tees from Bridge and Burn that I love, but I don't know if they still make them

Less expensive, but beefy option...I love 3sixteen's tshirts. Especially their grey (comes in pack of 2) as I can't seem to have enough grey tees. They fit perfect on my body. These are not as expensive and best bang for the buck I've seen based on quality & fit.

Velva Sheen is less expensive and pretty good too, but not as good as 3sixteen's.

Overall...best of the best...the hype for Merz B Schwanen 215 tees is warranted. They fit perfect and are as good as tees come. Not overly heavy, but robust & comfortable. Only downside is they are sold out everywhere and restocks sell out quickly. Their 214 "super dooper" heavy tees are something else. As thick as you'll find and heavy duty. Like armor almost ha ha. Great for wearing under an open leather jacket.

Merz & 3sixteen tees seem like they will out last me and along with Warehouse are my favorite.

I own 5 or so RRL tees. They suck (weird large sleeves, thin material, thin flimsy collars, weird fit at waist...sort of bell shaped overall) and are pretty bad compared to the above IMO. I do like the colors I have and wear them over thermals and as undershirts some, but wouldn't buy again if I had it to do over again.

My approach to washing is just have so many damn RRL shirts you only wear them once every few months lol. Spring/summer are stored on a shelf above these since I live in town and have to keep dress stuff in here also (space is limited)

I approve this strategy.
