Half of the purpose of the gear grinder thread is for the community to judge them and #### on them. It always has been.
I don’t get why the people who think Silver is a troll open a silver thread. They are all an oddball stream of consciousness with any consideration for anything but himself. Whether they are true or not doesn’t matterZ. The threads are awesome and if you didn’t like the first 50 why are you still opening them.
As for undershirts you could just not wear them.
He went on a streak in that thread of posting "lame attempts at humor" and then criticizes people for the same thing in a sliver thread of all places. He really flipped it around.
An environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered.

This guy tried the garters and a few other options.
That's a great review/explanation and I now know what they're called: shirt stays. I ordered these ones on Amazon so I'm hopeful this will solve my issue...thanks for finding that video!
I think that would work awesome, except I don't like the v neck. I prefer my undershirts to poke out above the collar of my t-shirt. If the shirt stays don't work, I'll get back on the hunt and probably for something like that but with a different neck.
Those shirts do look nice, but they wouldn't help preventing back/butt crack exposure on a long-torsoed person bending over.

Okay, you're right they're a little pricey ($43 with shipping), but I ordered one to try it out. I noticed the back is longer than the front, so right away I can see they're trying to address the issue I'm having. Thanks for the tip.
Hey, so I wear short-sleeved undershirts under whatever shirt I'm wearing. I go to Mr. Big and Tall to buy their XL Long shirts, which go down about 3/4 of the way down my rear end after a couple of washes, and then pretty much stay there. If I bend down to pick something up, though, they often become untucked at the back. I think this is because I have a long torso being that I'm tall.
In my job I have to pick things up a lot, so it drives me nuts that they come untucked. I need to find a solution to keep them tucked in.
Anyone have any experience with these or something else that could solve the issue I'm having?
I had a a pair of pants that had a rubber strip sewed on the inside, and it did an incredible job of keeping my shirt tucked in. But.... it was almost too good when you sit down and the tightness of my shirt was annoying...
Untucked shirt is more annoying though. I feel your pain, I’m 75% torso so shirts barely reach my pants to begin with.

Really surprised to see so many people wearing undershirts. I haven't been wearing them since... I don't even remember since when.

You can get this done to your pants at Moore's for sure, and probably any menswear store with a tailor.
Yep any tailor can put one of these strips into your dress pants. But more designed to hold your shirt in place and don't know if it will work as well with the layer underneath.
Now I don't ever wear undershirts and I'm of the belief they should never be visible. They are in fact underwear and should be treated as such for dress wear. Curious as to what people's reasons are for undershirts? Is it the feel of a shirt tighter against the skin? Warmth? Or hiding perspiration?

I don't wear dress wear. My outfit at work is t-shirt, jeans and a hoodie. Sometimes I'll wear a button up Quicksilver shirt untucked if I'm feeling fancy, but I still wear an undershirt.
My outter shirts don't need to be laundered as often because of the undershirts. Also, it is nice if I'm sweating for the undershirt to take that beating. My job can be physical some days so that's an upside.
Those are actually reverse justifications for something I'd do anyway, though. I've worn an undershirt since I was a teenager and probably always will. I'd feel like I wasn't wearing underwear if I wasn't wearing one. It's just part of how I roll, I guess.
If these shirt stays or that bamboo shirt I ordered don't work, I'll look into that rubber thing stitched into the waist. Sounds like it could be a great solution, too.
Amazon is great. Shirt stays just arrived and I have put them on. Initial thoughts are they don't feel very intrusive, which is a good sign. I have some work to do in my shop today, so I'll have an opportunity to see if they keep my shirt tucked in doing exactly the tasks that have been leading to an untucked shirt. Perfect day for them to have arrived.

Exposed undershirt collars, are a good way to look like you're an ordained priest.
Personally, I think wearing a crew-neck exposed, is a sloppy way to dress, and not what they were designed for.
Wear the crew-neck when you're wearing a Tie that day.
Wear the v-neck, when you're not.

In both scenarios, the undershirt is not seen.
I don't subscribe to blanket rules like not letting the collar of my undershirt show. I personally think they look sharp - I buy seven at a time and replace them annually so as not to let the collars get stretched or ratty.
I understand why you have the fashion sense you do, but we likely operate in two different worlds, so I don't think it's fair for you can look at my style through your lens and call it sloppy.
Know what looks sloppy? A long-torsoed person bending down at their job and exposing their hairy butt crack and lower back to customers and employees all day long. For a tall person, the leverage of bending down will pull up their shirt and expose their ass. It's considerate to take steps to avoid this.
Know what else looks sloppy? Bending down with a v-neck undershirt so you can see down my shirt and my nipples and hairy chest when I reach to pick something up. A tight-fitting crew collar looks much cleaner and more "tight ship" doing the type of work I do.
An exposed collar isn't underwear, in spite of what some fashion blogs may tell you, anyway. It's a t-shirt.
