No. Everything on your clothes goes into your skin and bloodstream. That stuff isn’t just “starch.” It’s neurotoxic (but I forget what it is). It’s not good for you at all.
“Do I want then starched or not?”
Simple, Sam: Do you want your shirts to hang from hangers or stand straight up by themselves on the closet floor.
I do not get my shirts starched unless there is a compelling reason to do so.
My BDU’s, when I was a drill instructor, were starched so stiff that I needed a broom handle to push down the sleeves to get my arms in. So, I enjoy a crisp, starched look still to this day.
Definitely, if you live in a humid environment/location...
I iron my own shirts; cannot afford the outrageous prices charged by dry cleaners. $7 per shirt I think is the going rate now.
If your shirts are all-cotton, get them starched.
If your shirts are a cotton/polyester blend, ask for light starch.
If your shirts are 100% polyester, give them to Salvation Army and buy some all-cotton shirts.
how do you say “extra starch” in Urdu?
I have been dry cleaning my shirts since I was in high school (my Dad ran the cleaners) and for years I was “heavy starch” then changed to “light starch” but for the last decade I have finally decided that “NO starch” is best for me!
I always get light starch.
Yes. Get them Simonized.
Yes.
Light starch, military press. Always get compliments on how good that looks.
You’re on rollll tonight. LMFAO

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.
