Do jews wear undershirts??

A fellow monkey here is telling me they do not and I'm a bit skeptical. To me, if you don't wear an undershirt to work you're basically dressing like a 7th grade clown.

Any decent data points on this?

Thanks

star of david necklaces count as undershirts, right?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

if you open your shirt collar and i see an undershirt, then you're the one looking like a clown. in fact, i distinctly remember that in 7th grade everyone wore the classic hanes-crewneck-under-polo shirt, but people stopped doing it in college because it looks poor.

A V-neck is perfect because you experience the benefits of a comfortable cotton undershirt but don't look like a tool because it is hidden even with one or two buttons undone, unlike a crew neck.

 

I know man tribesmen, none wear undershirts, never noticed this before.

Ok, so the bottom line is to get rid of the standard undershirts and get v-neck. Wow. Seriously, is there a list of little details like this anywhere?

I'd hate to think I've been getting dinged for something like not wearing a vneck shirt.

Honestly, no one really cares

To answer the OP, yes. Jews wear undershirts

To follow on everyone else's comments, v-necks are definitely the way to go

Actually, I can't really speak for all Jews, but I do and my friends do, so from that sample size the answer would be yes

Oh the important questions on Wall Street...

how would you get dinged for not wearing an undershirt, if they wouldn't be able to see the v-neck anyway? the fuck?

listen man, I don't wear undershirts because I throw my shirts in the wash anyway - yeah, the inside might be fresh, but the outside is not.

seriously, if you're in banking, you can afford the wash and new shirts for when the wash kills them.

If I disagree with you, it's because you're wrong.

What's the matter? daddy got fired by his Jewish boss? owwww feel sorry for you (NOT).

 
kmzzwhat brand v-necks you guys buy?

Only on a site for bankers will you find a question like this.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
 

This is an interesting, yet hilarious topic... I don't mean to be rude but does wearing an undershirt or not wearing one really matter?

It just looks very odd to me when someone at work is wearing no undershirt and you basically can tell because you can see their skin tone through their shirt (usually with white shirts but sometimes others also). To me it's similar to not putting stiffeners in and having a ridiculous looking collar, you're just not doing things the right way.

Just to clarify this undershirt mandate is only for work. I wanted to clarify that before someone flies off the handle saying it makes you look like a tool at the club.

 

I mean the whole point of wearing an undershirt is to provide a barrier between your body and your dress shirt. I used to work with a guy who wore cheap white shirts and you could see his tits through the damn thing.

As far as I am concerned an undershirt is akin to underwear. Just to provide a barrier.

I don't wear underwear either.

I say fuck change, I don't chase dimes
 

Due to my hairy chest and tendency to sweat during the summer, If I’m not wearing a tee shirt during July, I look like a sweaty disco lothario. Not a good look.

No tee in the cool months.

 

I wear jockey wic wear type undershirts. They don't hold sweat like a cotton undershirt and are much thinner. They also don't shrink so you can keep them tucked into your pants without them pulling up. The best under barrier I can find. I walk like 10 blocks to work so even in cold months I still will sweat a little.

 

No racist jokes yet? Since I don't like being the first one, I won't say they wear DRIFIRE flame resistant T-shirts... Does anyone wear sleeveless(wife-beater) tees?
