I’m talking old school fruit of the loom or Haynes white T-shirts. V Neck, Crewneck, or old school beater.  
like these

I started wearing underwear T-shirts as a kid because my dad did. I think they were required in the Air Force. He often wore fatigues at home and always had an undershirt.

I hate the feel of a outer shirt on my skin. Especially if I sweat. I got to have my Crewneck T-shirt at all times. Even sleep in one. 😉 I wore one under my gown the last time I was in the hospital. My ass flapped in the breeze, but my chest was warm. 😉

I’m curious if underwear T-shirts are still popular? Are they only needed for dress shirts? Knit shirts? All shirts?
