Men's Dress Shirts?

[Ravenclaw]

Sorry was on my phone earlier. But we like the Costco ones because they are cheap ($17?) and they have a great return policy, which Land's End does as well. We'll have to try LE ones next time we're shopping for shirts.

DH loves Geoffrey Beane, but the outlet in our town closed. We now just buy at Macy's whatever brand we find on sale. He insists on 100% cotton. Doesn't matter if it's wrinkle free -- he will iron it anyway. We also buy from K&G. I don't know if those are all over though.

Lol, so are we the only ones who do the old school pressed and starched dress shirts?

DH insists on ironing them himself. No starch.

I press and starch DH's shirts, too. It only takes me about 5 minutes per shirt. I never notice when anyone else doesn't press their shirts, but it drives me bonkers when DH looks like he slept in his.

I hate ironing shirts too, so it's either Charles Tyrwhitt non-iron shirts (http://www.ctshirts.com/Sale/men's-s...p=19&browse=Y#) or sending them to the cleaners to be pressed.

OMGoodness, I am so impressed with 5 minutes per shirt!! It takes me forever to iron dh's shirts, thus the cleaner and their steam iron, lol.

I've had a shit ton of practice.

I'm with you. You need to find a rhythm and do them the same way every time. On the wide end of the ironing board left front, back, right front, Sleeves. Switch to the other end and do the yoke and then the collar. Easy peasy. I used to do them watching TV.

[diggitydot]

Heh. My order is almost opposite:

1.) collar
2.) yoke over the shoulders
3.) sleeves
4.) body - right front to back to left front

[HouseofWool]

Funny. I don't think it makes any difference, it is just a matter of doing it the same way every time so that you gain motor memory.

[diggitydot]

Yup, I agree.

My husband does a medium starch shirt from the dry cleaner, too.

In general he handles his own work wardrobe, so I'm not sure if he's tried the BB wrinkle-free. I'll have to ask him.

I'm sorry--what's this thing called "an iron" about which thee speaketh??

Dry cleaning is so stinking expensive here...thankfully he's in scrubs exclusively until March!
