I love it when I forget about a post I made in an old thread and then make myself laugh several years later

makes things so much easier in the morning

boomer secret: no one cares and i am not dating anyone

sometimes i throw a sleeveless fleece on top to help carry stuff in pockets and cover up my belly fat
I have about a dozen BB non-iron dress shirts in my rotation over the last decade or so. Solid choice.

they have lasted longer than i ever expected

must be that industrial grade teflon coating that makes them non-iron

has saved a lot of ironing time

i will get skin cancer but at least i will have had all the extra free time i would have been ironing

spent staring at a phone / computer screen

that will also give me cancer

So glad I don't have to wear suits or business casual to work anymore, went through a couple years of those kind of jobs and I can't see myself going back. But yeah those BB non irons shirts are great, even though BB quality has gone downhill since they were bought out.

i bought a nice suit on sale from them several months deep into the pandemic when they were falling apart, but before they were sold

it’s still in the original plastic / untailored bc I haven’t had to suit up much

need to take it to get tailored one of these days

maybe in the summer when i am more fit

working off my winter blubber now
