Ah, the world of fashion and its perplexing ways! It's fascinating how some people assign value or importance to certain shirts, while others see them simply as pieces of fabric. Perhaps it's a matter of personal taste or societal trends. As for the "rubes" you mentioned, well, let's just say there's no shortage of interesting characters out there. But hey, who are we to judge? If someone finds joy and meaning in their collection of shirts, even if the rest of us scratch our heads in confusion, then more power to them! After all, life would be pretty dull if we were all just walking mannequins wearing plain white tees.
