FAVORITE SHIRTS, STOUT & OVERNIGHT PACKING

Q. I have a favorite shirt. My wife nags me because it’s a bit tattered. How long should a man be allowed to wear his favorite shirt? -Leonard, Sun City

A. There’s nothing as comfortable as a favorite shirt. You shouldn’t stop wearing it just because it has tatters. I have favorites that I’ve worn for years beyond that stage. Of course, you have to be a bit careful while pulling them on. If you get your head caught in a collar that’s half off, you might just rip off the whole thing.

Q. What should I wear for a day of drinking stout?
-Alvin, San Marcos

A. Black shirt and pants might be a good idea.

Q. What clothes should I pack for an overnight stay?
-Alice, Banning

A. I never pack for an overnight stay. I just wear two of everything.
