For those of us in humid, hot weather...our clothes

[BIG WOOD]

Are so freaking sweaty. Does anyone have a good kind of clothing that doesn’t look like this at the end of each job? Yes, I change my shirts in between jobs

 

[steve_64]

Yeah that's not a good look. I've got that problem too.

How well does it hold up on the scorching hot days?

 

[Jack Zipper Zerkie]

Plastic bags of ICE under the shirt and in the under shorts. Works for me up to 98 % .jz

I don’t sweat as bad as I used to in clothes like you’re wearing, but I still sweat a lot

It just doesn’t show as bad .

Get out of those dark, thick clothes

Will do. On my next order, I think I’ll get a bright yellow to match my cartoon dude.

When I shake their hand after arrival, I’m dry as a bone. I think that’s the important part

I was waiting for you onbthat one. You’re late.

 

[steve_64]

I've tried a lot of different clothes they all do it. The silky shorts aren't as absorbent but my new employee helps the most.

Short pants after Labor Day are worse than before.

Are your shirts 50/50 or all cotton? Cotton will stay wet for hours. Get you some Dickies work pants that are 65% polyester too.

For some reason I always thought you looked like the little guy in your avatar.

 

[hogjowl]

Short pants pretty darn much all year round

 

[Kenny Hayes]

But that leaker pen in your pocket has got to go.

 

[hogjowl]

Stalker!

Your the one that took the sears catalog photo and showed us all.

Nike Dri Fit polos have worked well for a lot of people for shirts and help your body breath to stay dry. Take an extra pair of shorts and shirts when you're running hard so you stay fresh. The 1.25 for an extra load of laundry through the week is worth maintaining a good image.

Edit: I bought these and wear them a lot in the summer for local meetings: https://www.logoup.com/Nike-Dri-FIT-Pebble-Texture-Polo_p_1837.html

Lighter colors for sure

Of course they're dry fit. A golfer is wearing them. I'm sure that "sport" is very active to make the players soak their clothing in sweat, lol

I think it has polyester in it. I'm worried about getting clothing that has a lot of polyester. I bought one of those weight lifting shirts that are real tight. I needed something to help my ego and make me think that I'm fit, lol. But as soon as a drop of sweat got adsorbed...It had the worst smell. I don't want my work shirts having that same odor.

The shirts really do work/help. Used them for years.

Depends !!

our new washer is a front loader and we are suppose to use that se detergent or whatever it is. This year I was noticing our clothes would smell a little funky after wearing them a little bit. We started using prozyme plus and osr for our laundry and even stopped using softener and clothes stay fresh now. I think the new laundry detergent doesn't work well. Have had other friends with the same complaint who don't work like we do.

I was having the same problem. I started adding borax to it and that seemed to put a dent in the funk

 

[steve_64]

Borax is good too. Also started using longer settings for the wash.

To get things really clean let it soak in borax overnight in hot water.
