LDS Garments: Why I Want Out of This Club

[myboynoah]

I bought new sets on Monday. Seven white, seven sand color.

Do the stupid tags bother anyone else? It's a plastic fabric with sharp corners, which, if not ripped out, irritate my skin in both places.

I was venting about how much I hate those tags to Sister Diddley last night. I said they should just print something on the inside instead of sewing a tag. I said, "come on people, get with the times!" The look on her face was precious. It was a mix of "you're sacrilegious" to "you're going apostate". Too much time on CS, I guess.

I had a similar look on my face while reading your post. I'm concerned.

They have compression shorts? That's a long way from the baggy singlets my parents used to wear. How are the Dri-Fit tops?

I got a pair of the military ones. They have white ones that I think are identical in pattern. The dri fit could be lighter. I think they opt for durability over comfort.

I have some lightweight underarmor compression shorts I wear when I exercise. I'd love for the church to start making something like these. I've tried the compression shorts they offer, and they're too tight for wearing all the time.

Other than the last one, it all seems to relate to heat. Couldn't you just turn up the AC and lower the room temperature?

Plus if you ain't wearing your garments at night you better start getting used to the heat! (Cause you're going to hell... in case that wasn't obvious.)

All five reasons seem good.

Looks like the corbies are going front and center on national TV

The scene in the upcoming ABC series "Quantico" that features a Mormon character wearing nothing but his LDS underwear will air as-is, according to the president of the network.
The producer/writer of the series, on the other hand, held out the possibility that the scene might be changed before the show premieres Sunday, Sept. 27.

I picked up some G's last week and I noticed that on the tops I generally buy they tag said sleeve change. So I asked the lady what that meant and she said it was a shorter sleeve now. They are shorter, but not that much shorter. However, I always get the short bottoms and whoa these things are finally short! Like a full 4" above my knee short. I wish I bought more.

Best news I've heard all day.

Mormon Stories #151 Episode 3 (at around 52:00) seems to imply that some (or many?) garments may be made in south american sweatshops. In short, Dayon Smith who worked for the church told how Beehive Clothing was making garments in SLC during the 80's. Beehive Clothing was having a hard time keeping workers because they were paying below the poverty level. Also, because of the high tariff for import items into Venezuela the church was essentially smuggling garments into the country in people's suitcases (garment "mules"?). To solve both problems Beehive Clothing got permission from the church to start contracting with clothing factories in Venezuela to make garments.

I need to make a trip to Venezuela to get some garments. I bet they are cheap there.

They had V-necks for about 15 minutes in the early 80s I still have one left in my now extensive collection.

They also had some in the late 90s.
