#35Smartwool shirt and socks. no odor absorption so ability to wear without daily washing. Good thermal regulation as well.
+1 to wool undergarments.

I was a very heavy photoshop user for ~20 years.
These days I just use photopea for when I need to make a small edit. It suffices for 95% of what I need to do.
