Am I the only one who can wear 1 shirt on a for day trip? Obviously new undershirt everyday. Definitely 1 pair of pants for the whole trip. I guess I don't sweat very much unless I'm doing physical labor.

My cleaner does my shirts for just over $2. Not worth my time for that price.

I'll concede that 2 days is not bad, but 4? It's not like you don't have room in your bag for another shirt?

I used to take two shirts for a 4 day trip. 1 shirt seems to work well for a 4 day. A lot easier too. In the summer time I will usually take two shirts for a 4 day, especially when flying that sweat box called the CRJ200.
I also remember from middle school art class, that the brightest whites have hues of blue. Dingy looking whites have hues of yellow. Add some bluing fluid to your wash.
Mrs. Stewart?s Bluing ? WHY bluing for whitening fabric?

I may start doing that again, but I'm going to buy like 20 shirts so my personal schedule doesn't revolve around picking up and dropping off dry cleaning on my days off.
Always keep a pressed shirt in reserve in your closet... sucks to wake up at 0200 realizing that your alarm is going off in an hour and you forgot to pick up your dry cleaning. Also annoys the wife when you start washing shirts at 0200.

Meh. I used to carry a spare shirt for years and never used it. I have plenty of room in my bag but I quit carrying what I don't need. Uniform stays in way better shape not getting packed in my bag.

That works if your cleaner will fold the shirts so they don't get (too) wrinkled in your suitcase. Otherwise you have to iron them anyway.

I change shirts every two days... and I do 1-2 leg days in plane that has good AC, doesn't drip oil on me, and is tall enough not to grease my shirt on the walk around. If you're not sweating a lot you can touch-up iron your shirt and keep wearing it, but the problem is that the iron will tend to "lock in" any small stains you may have accumulated, especially grease. Once ironed in, even Shout won't get them out.

Do they make any decent wrinkle resistant pilot shirts? If not, this stuff works well.
