    I think you are taking things a little to far here. Most mainstream yeshiva bochurim wear starched shirts, ironed pants, and well-fitting jackets. (I run the cleaners in a prominent yeshiva, and you’d be surprised how much clothing is cleaned every week.) Frayed worn hats are obsolete in the yeshiveshe velt, and considered harryish, mind you. Most bochurim, even those not “into” clothes dress mentchlich and bakovodik, and i don’t think they lose that when they grow into yungeleit with wives to look after their laundry. Nor have i seen it.

    Ask any bochur or yungerman. The majority of today’s bachurim would be mortified to be outfitted in your idea of their typical wardrobe.

    The fact that some are spazzed and do not realize that their shirt is stained and pants are wrinkled has little if anything to do with their lifesytle.
