I don’t need a collar.

I wouldn’t have thought Bub was the Pepe type.

My husband wore his when he mowed the lawn.

To misquote the great Elton John: “Put them in a box somewhere… Put them in a drawer… Take my T-shirts… I can’t wear them anymore…”

My daughter who works for FedEx found a bunch of T-shirts and I got some free.

You are never too old for t-shirts! I’m over 60 and still wear them every day along with blue jeans. I refuse to accept the stereotypical old man dress code like my dad adhered to (khaki pants and plaid long sleeve shirts). Nope. Not gonna do it.

I wear my old T-shirts as undershirts. If it gets too warm, I can take the long-sleeved shirt off.

Car rags, cleaning rags, sleepware, and more. I’ve got bags of rags.

Only own 2 T’s, not big on them anymore. One for Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother tour, the other supporting the fight against cancer. Don’t even own one supporting the Chicago Bears or Bulls, my teams.

The old tee shirts you love but won’t wear? Frame them & use them as art.

I’m with Bud. Downsizing I decided that I didn’t need souvenir t-shirts anymore. Give me a nice solid color that I can wear under a button down, unbuttoned. If some company wants me to advertise for them, they can pay me

Haven’t worn jeans since my 30s. Chinos for every day wear, except for work. Wore army garb for 32 years; then a nice shirt, dress slacks and Bostonians or Clark’s whilst in the public service. Don’t wear something because everyone else wears it, be your own haberdasher

I refuse to wear T-shirts with company logos on them. i.e. swoosh. They should be given out for free! Why should i provide them with free advertising. All the sports entities get paid to parade them around on their uniforms and or cars. why should I pay to wear them?

And remember some of those T-shirts might be collectable. Happy trails!

With old t-shirts that are still in serviceable shape, you have more options than ragbag or thrift store or online sales.

Most of the crafts supplies stores sell cardboard t-shirt forms. That way, you can make a wall display and rotate the shirts in it.

If you prefer a more permanent solution, contact a fabric shop or a dry cleaner. Both are likely to know of someone in your area who makes special quilts on request. Old t-shirts like those make great quilts. That way, you could have your shirts back in a currently-usable form: a quilt!

I have Ts from my favorite restaurant that is now celebrating it’s 25th anniversary.

I have lots of Ts from my favorite vacation restaurants and all sorts of other designs. I’m retired and wear them whenever it’s warm enough, unless I’m going somewhere dressy. What’s wrong with that?
