Sorting through the stuff from my closet, realizing I have this dress code covered, but I will never wear it again. (although the shirts, admittedly, are from the early 2000's).

*tossing the shirt into the charity pile... though not sure if they'll be used or end up shredded/landfilled somewhere down the line. Apparently white button down shirts expire, as they turn into off white/yellow shirts. 🤢

@ai6yr Old shirts make good rags, archery target stuffing, or punk battlejacket diy patch material

@CedarTea Thanks. These are all synthetic blend shirts, so no good for rags (won't absorb stuff), but I've just stopped donating t-shirts and use them for wiping up and cleaning things up around the house, applying linseed oil to wood, whatnot... battlejacket diy patch material, LOL. (googles "battlejacket" )

@paninid @CedarTea LOL just looked it up... having grown up in Salt Lake City, I don't think I know anyone who had a punk battlejacket... and now living in suburbia next to boomers who think fondly of bunco clubs, makes sense I don't see them around, ha ha.

@ai6yr - that's what laundry bluing is for!

Nothing like applying a little color theory to your white shirts...

@grajohnt Ha, very first time I've ever heard of that! I am apparently laundry-knowledge deficient. (not that I will wear these shirts ever again, likely...)

@ai6yr Every year before going whitewater raft/camping, I buy a couple white button down shirts for sun protection, and don't care what color they turn. I have a couple that are permanently gray.

@MHowell Hmm, that is definitely an idea, LOL.

@GraniteGeek LOL 1950's IBM... though I think that was the case almost through the 2000's.
