I have experienced the "bloom" on he surface finish in the summer when i tend to wear short sleeves, and I am sure that the upper arm does have some damping effect, but nothing that I've noticed.
So, no my playing does not really affect my wardrobe but I do like to dress smart (casual) when I'm performing.

Spanks get the best tone with Rosewood.

I have to admit, I saw this post the other day and rolled my eyes a bit...
Yesterday I was playing my D-18GE, which has been in its case for a few weeks. Last time I played this guitar it was warmer here and I was most likely wearing a T-shirt. The only difference is yesterday I was wearing a heavy long sleeve corduroy shirt. Same strings, pick, room, etc... I noticed a different tone! I thought, maybe it's some sort of brain-bending psychological effect, or something. So, I take off the over-shirt and I'm back to a T-shirt, and the tone is different yet again! Head explodes! I think what I'm hearing is that the fabric in the over-shirt is just deadening some of the overtones. The guitar "rings" less, maybe, but seems to have a punchier more focused tone. It was actually so noticeable I made a quick recording on my iPhone and played it back this morning. Friends and neighbors, it really makes a difference. Not sure I know what it means in the whole universe of guitar nerd issues, but I coud hear a difference.
