I have some really strange looking shirts that I wear from time to
time, courtesy of Good Will. Some days I look like a bowler,
sometimes an old redneck retread, and other times just weird.

I had a guy that worked for me for years as a painter, and I noticed
that he almost never had shirts with a lot of crap on them. He told
me that his wife bought shirts at GW for $3, and he wore them until
they were all gooped and painted, then they went in the trash.

So now, I save all my nice shirts for "estimatin' " days, or days when
I have lunches I have to go to. When I am doing repairs, finishing or
painting, or anything else that will surely get on my clothes I wear
GW shirts. Got some funky ones, to be sure. I remember wearing some
of these styles back in the 70s...

My wife throws out my clothes and shoes when I'm not looking!

Now if I could only convince the SO that air conditioning in the
briefs is not only a natural but expected event from thoughtful wear
and good service. She sees holes; I see provenance. She refers to
them as "gross"; I call them comfortable. Go figure.
