Just checked out your profile.

I’m up here in Ceciltucky (long story). Used to live in Central MD (Balto. Co.).

Like yourself, I am an ME.

You appear to have had quite the time of it medically. I hope you are doing well now.

Depends on the fiber.

There a few tailors in my family, my dad even apprenticed before WWII. Me? I can sew canvas and strapping. Mend stuff etc... I used fix sewing machines for my sisters and mom, but those were old Singers back when they were serviceable.

Yes.

Light starch, military press. Always get compliments on how good that looks.

If you’re trying to avoid water staining, vodka is a poor choice, as it is 60% water. Mix your preferred starch in 100% isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT SMOKE while ironing. No open flames or ignition sources of any type!

Starched clothes look much nicer, but they are not always comfortable attire.

Agree. Cotton only with starch.

I have them lightly starched. That preference is in the POS system, so they always know what I want without asking.

60/40 polyester/cotton. Wear shirts with a slight pattern. If you sweat quite a bit, all cotton will look like hell in a few hours.

I’m a fan of polo shirts, untucked sport shirts, and nice no-collar T-shirts will nice dress pants and business casual pants, or jeans. Same for when I wear shorts. Wore a pair of slacks for the first time this year, except for when I ref volleyball.
