I came to the conclusion that it was the stitching and/or the label on the neck of the T shirt that was the problem. I find wearing the T shirt inside out seems to solve the problem - but that's not much help to you!
I think that, although the shirt or T shirt may be cotton, the stitching may be some kind of man-made fibre that irritates.
Try also considering your stress levels and office enviroment (hot, humid). I occasionally get a sore and irritated neck which continues even if I take my tie off. I can usually put it down to a hot office or stress, and the stiffness of my collar and the material is not consistent, although it certainly does happen with Pinks shirts.
Also try washing your neck with a flannel at lunchtime and using talc.
DavidUK, the stitching may be a good reason, i'll have to investigate a bit more.
Trotbot, possible stress but then I'm usually have consistent stress levels so I'd expect it to happen every day, but it doesn't. The shirt I'm wearing today is fine. But I do like the idea of talcom powder and washing my neck at lunch. I'll give that a go.
Thanks to all your replies, very helpful!
It could be the barbed wire I stitch secretly into your shirts just to irritate you for leaving your socks on the floor every night, or maybe the nettles that I iron onto it. I could try taking out he barbs and rinsing the nettles off. We could see if that helps???
And he's right, he does really complain about it, and I haven't changed the washing powder ever and I don't use starch. Its a mystery.
hehehehehehehehe
(hello, Dear, hope you are having a good day in the office.)
if it were a washing powder issue, I would expect to see you have issues with other clothing in areas other than collars, such as waist bands, cuffs etc. But i can try and change the powder if you like. I think fairy do a sensitive skin one and I think Boots do one for baby clothes which is supposed to be very mild.
COuld try that I guess.
Actually mim, I have noticed a slight chaffing in my nether regions, but just assumed that was because I am always sitting on a chair in my office, so maybe it is washing powder but it only affects sensitive areas such as neck and down below.
I guess it also depends on whether there is much friction between the body part and the item of clothing. In which case underpants and neck are the likely candidates.
