A number of good recs in here already, but I’ll throw in Thirteen50 leather. Got 2 belts from them a couple years ago and they’ve both patina’d beautifully and only gotten better with wear. I think they were about $50 and totally worth it. You pick from like 6-8 different leather colors/types, pick your width, and then pick your buckle style/metal and belt tip shape. Super thick leather and exceptionally good quality for price ratio

Switch to natural deodorants and stop using antiperspirants if you can. I used to have constant sweaty pits and pit stains all the time, then tried just deodorant and after about a week or so adjustment period it’s been remarkably better. Way less pit stains and it’s much less severe of an issue too. My tshirts have been faring much better as a result as I used to have to toss them after a year bc the permanent staining would be so bad

Yup, otherwise you’re just adding more moisture to an already wet garment and just making it potentially take longer to dry. I sometimes iron shirts when they’re almost fully dry and let the iron use the moisture left in the shirt to steam it simultaneously, but generally I get better results when I just wait till it’s fully dry to iron or steam the garments

That’s most likely just because the hangers don’t fit the shoulders very well. Switching from plastic and wire hangers to the wooden(bamboo?) hangers from ikea has helped with that issue for my dress shirts, as they’re a bit wider and fit the width of the shoulders on my shirts a bit better. Narrower and skinnier hangers don’t support the garment as well and thus put more pressure on the ends of the hanger and create those shoulder bumps more often
