Either that or its a Buddhist monk and some one has photo-shopped out the thinkbubble which says..." now where the hell did I leave that robe "...

So you change it, but do you put it in the laundry pile? Or just change it?

I change my shirt daily, but if it is not dirty, I won't put it for the wash and save it for another day. I try to conserve resources and also don't like the wear and tear of too many washings and ironings. Most clothes seem to last longer if they are not washed too much, nor too little, just the right amount (in my experience).

Each shirt is worn for a whole day, then placed in the washing pile until there is enough clothing of the same colour to wash.

Greetings David.

If you happen to be using a tumble drier to dry your shirts (which for us here in Melbourne in Winter is a near necessity), I find that if you grab them hot out of the drier and hang them on coat hangers straight away, most shirts (depending on the material) don't actually need to be ironed.

Bonus. 8-)

I also have a steamer iron, which works pretty good (without all the pressing), but I'll have to give the drier a chance that way too.

Depends on the material. Wool tops I generally wear at least a month--every day--before washing.
Cotten I stink up after only minutes.

What is this "ironed" you speak of?

Actually I rarely wear clothes that need ironing...t-shirts and work pants for work and newer t-shirts and newer work pants for casual time and like new t-shirts with pockets and like new work pants for most formal occasions. I do have one pair of pants and a few button up shirts that I wear for very formal occasions (weddings and funerals mostly) so my wife irons maybe 3 shirts a year for me. Life in a rural Thai village does not require much in the way of fancy clothing especially for men.....one of the reasons I like living here.

I by contrast have a job which requires me to wear a suit and a crisp shirt and a clean tie free from eggstains and is one of the reasons I like both the job and living here.
In easy reach of restaurants, art galleries , concert halls, and a number of Premier League football grounds.
I used to live a hippy life , but I dropped out. You soon start to get used to the simple, good things in life once you abandon a craving for austerity.
