I wore a white shirt today. I haven't worn one for a few years as although I like the look, they do tend to go grubby on the neck and cuffs after a few hours, never mind wears. I've looked online for white shirts with detachable collars (so you only have to wash the collar, not the whole shirt), but the only ones I could find were those 'grandad'(union) shirts without collars, or 'vintage' (second and the rest hand) with detachable collars, but they were expensive and probably wouldn't fit well.
I'm thinking of buying these https://www.marksandspencer.com/3-p...rts/p/clp22464488#intid=crosssell_altfit_T112
I think it'd be better to buy a few rather than just the one, so I'd have enough to wear between fortnightly laundry visits. I do wash shirts here in my flat by hand, but if I had a few it'd be much easier than having to keep washing just the one by hand. I could even buy a pack of 5. https://www.marksandspencer.com/5-p...clp60456820#intid=crosssell_joinedline_T11233. M&S without being 'outstanding' are reasonably well made. These shirts are more polyester than cotton, which should help repel the grubby neck and cuffs more and not crease as much as 100 percent cotton. With having a long arms problem whichever pack I buy I'll try one on then if they are too short in the arm I can take the shirts back to the nearest M&S store 6 miles away, rather than post them back to the supplier, but hopefully If I order them with a 15 inch neck they should be long enough.

Seriously though, I only sweat on my head and that's on the rare very hot day. I always wear a white cotton t-shirt under dress etc shirts to keep the shirt away from my body.
I'll have a look at your link in a while.
