Middle Aged Shed

It’s reassuring to know it’s not just me. Found a solid heavyweight white t a couple of years back and noticed in my most recent order that the hem was about an inch higher than usual now! I’m beside myself. Ended up dropping the hem with wonderweb.

What T’s you on with now?

I’ve just tried the boxy heavyweight from Weekday, they ticked all the boxes for the price range - washed them for the first time at 30 and they’ve all shrunk by like 2cm across the chest. Annoying.

My plan is to find a t that ticks all the boxes apart from length, and then just shorten as needed. But it’s like a unicorn.

Ok, current madness is that I have 3 types of white t. For round the house/sleeping in I go with Russell Athletic super heavyweight - bit short in the arm and body and but decent to knock around in and easy to pick up on Amazon. For best/date-night I go with Norse Projects Niels. Then I have a third category for everyday out the house wear. This one is tricky. For the last couple of years I’ve gone with Zara heavyweight basics. Very good t, nice boxy fit and very heavy cotton (probably 320 gsm) but the necks blow out quite quickly and now they’ve shortened the length on them they’re more like crop tops. Ordered a dickies workwear heavyweight last week, looking good but will see how it washes. Very long in the body so would be good one tailor.

I got a Sabbath tee the other day and its legit like a blanket. Ive had lighter weight jackets. Its insane

I don’t get that boxy tee trend at all.

Tee madness could be a good title for my biography. Not that anyone is ever gonna write about me.

Ha, there’s definitely a cropped trend that has men wearing basically crop tops.

I just like a T-shirt that ends at my wrist and has a bit of space around the chest. I hate long t’s

Im tall, so any cheap xl tee is a crop top on me. Hate the thought of anyone catching a glimpse of my pasty belly if I lift my arms up.

I’ll try and get Comfort Colours if I can. I’m generally not fussy, but I avoid standard Gildan shit because it’s terrible quality.

Not sure what the new Decimal tees are printed on, but Gaz has made a great choice with those.

Derailing the t-shirt talk for a minute, the exterior of my house currently looks like an abandoned mansion from an episode of Scooby Doo on account of the absolutely staggering amount of cobwebs. Doesn’t matter how often I brush them off the window frames/sills, gutters etc they’re back the next day or stick to the brickwork and look even more shit. I don’t want to poison anything but I fucking despise spiders and the cobwebs give me a kind of second hand anxiety. Any way you lot know that’s a bit more permanent? I don’t mind doing it a couple of times a year but I’m doing it weekly and it’s properly gotten on my tits.

Went into my bedroom yesterday and there were about 20 or so baby spiders around the edge of my ceiling. Absolute nightmare scenario.

They’re all dead now, but the fear that there’s a nest behind my wardrobe persists

I use vinegar to clean the windows already. Maybe citrus isn’t a bad way to go.

Yeah I’m a big guy too and I look really stupid in most t-shirts you’ll find here in Europe. They’re always too short and too wide.

Just spent 2 grand on shutter blinds for the front of the house and now feel poor. Very, very poor.

Anyone got a robotic lawnmower. Looking at a wire free one for a mate. It’s about £700 any recs?

I always wondered how you stop it blindly mowing cat or dog shit on the grass and then having to strip it apart and clean it.

They are dogshit for anything that’s not a 1m square patch that’s Gary Neville.

What does that mean?
