I tell patients to brush their tongue. Paste not needed. There are several good tongue brushes available that will be more efficient than a brush you use on your teeth.
@Lindagaf, you’re killing me! Too funny…
No short sleeve mens shirts.
SF Bay Area.
I have skydived. About the time you start to panic (when it is time to walk to the door) the person you are strapped to has already jumped). It goes fast. And is quiet a thrill.
When my son was working in SV a few years ago, he asked for short sleeve plaid shirts. Nordstrom told me to try Nordstrom rack. They had a great selection I figured he wanted to fit in with his colleagues
We also watched Apollo 11 on CNN, and it was striking to see the men in Houston in short sleeved dress shirts. Until then, I hadn’t really noticed that men don’t wear them anymore.
This must be regional or more toward large cities. I’ve been looking after this question came up and I see them all the time, almost always without a tie. Polo type shirts are also all over.
My H loves short sleeve button up shirts. We live in a hot climate, like Houston. It’s also easier to grab something off the rack and have it fit.
I remember reading that back in the day, before AC, draftsmen working in DC offices in the summer would wear short sleeve shirts and also tie handkerchiefs around their wrists to catch the sweat that would roll down their arms. The good old days!
^ Nice to know. It explains why all those Nasa engineers in FL and TX were in short sleeves. Makes sense.
So a combination of some workplaces going more casual and the more widespread use of air conditioning meant the end of the short sleeve dress shirts for men.
But more precise control of the office temperature means that there are disagreements on what the correct thermostat setting should be, including between men and women (who are now in many workplaces in larger percentages than before):

Bought DH 2 long sleeve shirts yesterday (fun, complementary alternate fabric on the cuff for when rolled up). There were lots an lots of short sleeved button up shirts there—- on the sale racks. 
DH likes button down collars with a front pocket (for his phone when he needs to quickly slip in in there rather than pants pocket) and many of the shirts don’t have pockets.
“There were lots an lots of short sleeved button up shirts there—- on the sale racks.”
Probably has more to do with the seasonality and sales patterns than anyone’s perception of whether they are in style or not just like you’ll find discounted flannel shirts in the winter and shorts and swimsuits on sale in the summer.
Nope, not sure I can agree with that theory, @doschicos. Where I live, the temperature stays high for many, many more months. NO ONE was looking at any short sleeved shirts. Several were shopping for the long sleeved shirts. There were long sleeved shirts on sale too (its the 4th of July sale). It’s only around 7:30 am and already temps are in the high 70’s here. Other summer clothes were not the items festooning the sale racks.
^ Only a few of the T-shirts were on sale. Most were not.
It just goes to show how many people feel they must fit in with fashion I suppose - an advertiser’s dream. Once again, I feel fortunate to live in an area where that really doesn’t happen. People would be mobbing the sales racks instead. (This assumes the shirts are decent ones. Often times the decent ones are picked over prior to clearance sales - long, short, whatever.)
There was a hefty supply of short sleeved shirts to choose from.
Not sure it’s a retailer’s dream when they have a huge supply of items nobody wants. Besides, today, around here many, many people will be wearing specific t-shirts. I am wearing mine from 3 years ago.
If we lived near you, we’d come check them out! Where we live, there weren’t many at all on Clearance racks when H needed some new ones to start the summer season. He tried on a couple that were there, but they didn’t fit him right so were put back. We bought some on a regular sale, but it was Kohl’s - pretty much everything is on a regular sale of some sort, including long sleeved shirts.
You can shop at this store on line, @Creekland
We never buy clothes online. We want them to look good on us requiring use of the dressing room. I know folks can try things on and return them, but that’s not our style.
Due to the area we live in, when we need fancier things - like a nice suit for med school lad - we have to travel closer to a bigger city. Then I agree that long sleeve shirts are part of the attire. Very few around us wear suits on a regular basis. Undertakers still do as do (some) older folks attending church - though their suits likely came from Kohls and they could easily have short sleeve shirts under the jacket, esp if it’s hot.
Very few wear ties as well. One big tip we were given when we needed a “quick” tie for some event or another way back when was to shop at the thrift store. Oodles of options with very little (or no) wear on them including some that were still in style.
I recall seeing studies in the past that rural people were more likely to distrust anyone wearing fancy work clothes. I suspect that’s a big reason why we don’t see them in our area. It’s tough to make money when people distrust the employees.
Well, DH’s preference: long sleeved oxford button-down. Owned 3 short sleeved.
I didnt think jym meant casual wear.
Thrift stores and consignment shops can have great finds. @thumper1 has mentioned this many times.
We don’t live in a very rural area. We live in an area where many men wear business attire for work (especially in an office envionment), and many women wear professional attire as well. And the A/C that runs for the majority of months around here is often very cold in office buildings. Smart for men to have sleeves as an option.
And @lookingforward - you are correct. I was asking about work attire and nice evenings out.
