I have a very basic question.  Being a guy do I have to shave my chest and go to a tanning salon to climb at a gym with no shirt?  I have a few bad tattoos, a farmers tan, hairy chest, and my pectorals are not nearly as cut as the young gym stud group.  Can I push the line and wear a wifebeater?  Then my farmers tan would still show, but only a few of my bad tattoos would be visable.  This has been keeping me up at nights!  Please help!

The sasquatch - biker look is in now. The shaved and spray tanned metro sexual climbers will quake in fear of your retro cool hairyness and jailhouse tats! Proudly show off the "love" and "hate" on your knuckles.

Goes great with the Brandoesque wifebeater and 70's short shorts you are stylin' at the local gym.

Must combine with tall dark socks and gym shorts to complete the outfit.

don't forget the garters for your socks dude. Maybe go shirtless with the mork from orc rainbow suspenders for the gym shorts and don't forget to wear a minimum of 15 pieces of flair...

if the dark socks are there, then you must also wear the dark dress shoes too. 'Bermuda' style shorts only.

Try this look without the shirt.
Cheers!

It will be a sad day when 'etiquette' calls for us to completely restrain our expression and comfort to the utmost modesty. Crash says, "Do what you're comfortable with." If it's really hot there then don't sweat etiquette and shed the shirt. :D
