I found the turnover rate of tee shirts surprising. I imagine that my tee shirts get 40 or 45 wears per year, and I very rarely replace them.

- RandomThoughts3 2y agoUnderwear shirts are usually thiner than tee shirts and are made to be worn under a shirt. You can’t really compare. The issue here is that he buys them too cheap. Cheap underwear die incredibly fast because underwear tend to go through more wash cycles.

- Simulacra 2y agoThere is one interesting caveat, there are websites like TeeFury Which advertise one T-shirt per day. When it's gone, it's gone. When the site first cranked up, I bought three or four T-shirts in a couple of weeks. I could see someone getting on there and seeing a T-shirt they want every week and end up buying 50 T-shirts in a year.
