Oh at work, yes.  At play when in a port though, no.  Regular clothes then
and ¨a limited storage space.  Then, a top that matches 3 or 4
'pants/shorts/etc' ¨can cost more and be a good deal.

Stuff on the ship has to be easy care (no ironing) and while hand-wash is
ok, ¨has to be doable with mere woolite and not require it be dried flat
(Like where ¨am I gonna lay it out?).
