Personally I have only a hand full of t-shirts, all made of good 100 percent wool. I rotate them in use and I get maybe two weeks of time each before I have to wash them again because wool is not getting stenchy very fast, is anti bacterial and has a good climate while wearing, be it cold or hot weather. They get washed inside out and with pretty cold water, which is good for the fabric, and dry on air, because that’s energy efficient and also good for the fabric. I have them for like two years now and they look brand new, no pilling, no tears, no nothing. The wool flows and gleams like at the first day. Just. Do. Not. Buy. Trash.
A single wool t-shirt costs $50. I am struggling to scrape together food for for the week, and you expect me to pay $400 for enough shirts to get through the week? I really doibt you are actually going 2 weeks between washes on a single shirt, and if you are i feel sorry for anyone who has to interact with you. Some of us have jobs that get sweaty and dirty and cant wear the same getup multiple days in a row.
OP stated it happens to their “best” shirt, so those are $25 upwards easily. Take two, get one wool.
I suppose washing intervals depend on work, climate and personal disposition but in any case you get way more mileage between washes on wool than cotton. My cotton shirts would last only two days before I had to wash them again and they were never as fresh as wool shirts straiht from the washing machine. I also did not say “wear it for two weeks in a row” but one 2-3 days ,then hang it oit in the fresh air while wearing the next. Then after some days you can wear the first again because wool is kind of self cleaning and anti bacterial. No problem. I have daily meetings in person and I have to be clean and nice.
Buddy, this is late stage capitalism. Every product you buy is shit.
Why the negative votes?
