Well actually I am not kidding. I do not sweat that much at all. If the gym that I officiate is is rather cool or not very humid, I can where one of my officiting shirts more than once. I always wear an undershirt under my striped shirt and the undershirt almost always soaks up any sweat that might have been present. This tends to leave the regular shirt completely dry and with the same shape it was in before that game. No different than what happens with my baseball uniforms during the baseball season. If the environment is colder and you do not run and sweat, I will not wash the shirt just because I wore it. And I also have about 10 or more shirts to begin with. So it is not an issue of washing or not washing, but I want to prolong the quality of the shirt if I can. But if you are one of those that needs a towel to wipe off after the first 5 minutes, that might not work for you. No different than what I do with my suits. I do not automatically send them to the dry cleaners after one time I wear one.

Peace
