"Next time I see it I'm burning it"

[gwackywacky]

So I have this tshirt thats actually from quite a posh brand, it's a grey tshirt made from a really soft drapey cotton and it's dark grey and loose. I love the feel of it and how it moves, it's quite baggy and I wear it round the house.

Theres just one problem which is I left it outside in the garden for a whole winter and when I finally moved myself and brought it in last spring or something obviously I washed it, but now not only does it have a few (very small) holes on it, the fabric is damaged and staind kind of on the front almost like its rusted (if fabric could rust).

So anyway the other day I'm sitting around in it. DP has seen me wear it around before but this time he said "seriously can you not just buy another basic grey lounging tshirt? Next time I see it I'm burning it!"

Kinda lighthearted but where do you stand on wearing decrepit clothing?

@BeesKnees4 what on earth does it matter to you if it is?

That’s is pretty bad buy a new one

Oh dear god - I have only just seen the picture of your grey 't shirt', and by god, as much as in favour I am of wearing scabby clothing to save the planet and what not, that really does need to be binned. That's horrific!!

I mean, my blobby Tshirt is a horrid sight but at least it is unlikely to give me some sort of disease...

My pleasure

If people purposely buy ripped jeans, OP shouldn't be embarrassed to wear a holey T-shirt.

So why can't you buy another...

Well you didn't want to wear it for a whole winter so why the sudden interest now?

This. You didn't need it for months on end and now all of a sudden you just have to wear it and can't bear to get rid of it? Nah.

@gwackywacky I just scared my DP by laughing so loud! I so wanted to to be on team T-shirt, but it really is very very errrrm, loved? I don’t think I could wear it, (and I have holes in a few clothes) but I do find it hilarious! So thanks 😂

@Derbee Ask your DP!!!!!

Jesus Christ op, I was on the fence before but now I want to burn it too. You're winding us up surely?

@sparklefarts I'm not. Its clean, the material feels good, I like the cut, so what's the problem? Thats what I'm trying to understand. I don wear it out the house!

Well, I still vote for keeping it but I'd probably try dying it first. The holes look great.

I also loved @Ohyesiam''s post, very vivid imagery.

I was team T shirt before, but having seen it, definitely not. Surely you can get hold of another you like as much?

I asked him what he’d think if I wore it, and he very sweetly said it would be up to me. When I said it would be like that because I’d left it in the garden for a year or so before bringing it back in, he said “I’d think you were batshit” 😂

so what's the problem?

Ya know what, technically there's none, I mostly live in PJs when home, so if you're happy crack on I guess.
I still reserve the right to think 'Jesus fuck no' tho.

Dear God that looks like it's been mauled by a cat, dog or rats, or all 3 if someone opened the door wearing that or if I came home to someone wearing that I'd give them a fiver!! I've seen better dressed homeless people.

where do you stand on wearing decrepit clothing?

I don't have any other kind. Seriously. I have T shirts that are over 30 years old.

Why oh why did you wash, dry, and then decide to wear again that rag?

I mean - didn’t you wonder about the holes? Slugs have eaten your tshirt.

Get another one!

@Derbee Oh God! 🤣🤣🤣Well it's quite sad I'm losing all the support I had gathered pre pic. Team Tshirt are dropping like flies.... I think I might actually dye it black

I quite like the thought of walking around in it with him thinking “Derbee’s finally lost the plot” and hoping for a little glimpse of nipple through one of those holes! 😂 I hope you enjoy it for many more years

Bloody hell I though I was lazy AF for leaving towels out in the rain, On the washing line, for 3 days in summer, but a full winter on the floor is something else 😂😂😂
Sorry OP, It’s only fit for the bin, and I say that as someone who wears jeans with a well washed curry stain on them (in the house only)

Maybe you like it so much only because your DP objects to it?

Its clean, the material feels good, I like the cut, so what's the problem?

The problem is that you don’t have to look at it - your poor DP does.
I would find it hard to be attracted to someone wearing that level of “eww, slug-eaten tshirt with mysterious stains” attire.

You’d put me off my dinner!

I once left a jacket out on the washing line for a whole year, so your post fills me with hope that I'm not completely alone!!
Sorry, missing the point of the thread 😂
