If you are someone who wears eyeglasses (such as this particular baker), you'll know that dirty specs are an unfortunate problem that requires immediate fixing.
I often employ the nearest piece of material for this job which envariably is a shirt. This is not ideal and often serves to smudge the lens
and not clean.
I hate that. Smeary glasses.
The solution : functional fashion. A suit with the ideal glasses cleaning material (that small bit from your case), sewn into the inside of the suit or trouser pocket.

Why not? you could have different cloths for different purposes. |
|
| |
Until that day, sew a bit on the back of your tie. |
|
| |
[skin] - did that mean what I think it meant? Or did it mean something else? |
|
| |
Actually, I just let my glasses get dirtier and dirtier until my vision is reduced to 50%, then I wash them if I'm near a sink when I'm thinking about it. |

Suits yeux sir, suits yeux. |

I keep a lens cloth in my wallet, [jon]. It's in a litle plastic sleeve so it doesn't get all grotty. Most optometrists give them away, as they use them for advertising space. |
|
| |
we can't all borrow your cloth though [UnaBubba]. |
|
| |
How foolish of me to not realise that. Should I get my optometrist to email you one? Or are you a man of a different cloth? Perhaps you could use one of your ears? |

...or you could have the suit tailored from shammy, hey that might make a decent overall. |

Hey, then you could stand at the end of the car-wash line and run a car-drying service with your suit! |
|
| |
//(chamois)// Isn't that a paint color? |
|
| |
Kidding. I was picturing the commercial with Al Jolsen in a tux on one knee saying, "Shammy, shammy" |
|
| |
I've long been intrigued that Al Jolson singing "M-a-a-ammy" and the bleating of chamois sounded very similar. |
|
| |
So it's not a pair of trouser legs to put over the... erm... arms of your glasses, and a pair of shoes and socks to go on the ends? |
|
| |
That's a thought, has anyone done that one yet? |
