Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

in view of how some of my favorite shirts(in particular the coldbar, eat, drink and be merry and the brasil yellow) are so faithfully obeying the second law of thermodynamics(and so evidently at that),
i have decided that i will do whatever it takes to preserve them for as long as possible.
this means that i may refrain from washing them if they are not THAT dirty.
in the case that they MUST be washed,
it will be done strictly by me,
hand-washed with the most delicate of detergents,
using water at the optimum preservation temperature,
and dried in the most fabric-friendly conditions (definitely not under direct heat from the scorching sun).
also, i will keep in mind not to wear them too frequently, donning them only on special occasions.
eventually i may end up wearing them only once a year.
(maybe by which time i will realise that i am stupid for doing so and may change my ways)
now this treatment is only limited to 3 shirts.
however i expect that overtime, other shirts will join their ranks of endangered species and that will mean more work for me.
if that's the case, then so be it.
i. not. scared.
