Wrinkled dress shirt (help please)

#1 09-22-2005, 01:26 PM

I need to wear dress shirts for work. My problem is that they always wind up getting wrinkled. I get them laundered at the dry cleaners and I always tell them to add extra starch. When I put the shirt on in the morning its fine, by the time I get to the office the shirt is all wrinkled.
This happens w/ every brand shirt I buy, (DKNY, Kenneth Cole, CK). the only ones that I'm okay w/ are Brooks Bros. Non iron dress shirts but they are expensive (twice the price of the others).
Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Get something with a little heavier fabric. Or buy a bunch of pairs of haggar wrinkle free pants and make a shirt out of them.

Wrinkle frees are not that expensive.

Wrinkle free shirts (and pants) are the nuts and will save you about $1000 a year in drycleaning.

Brooks Brothers Non-Iron shirts are the only way to go. But, never buy them at full price. Try the outlet sometimes. Also, they have good sales (25% off) throughout the year. Wait for them and stock up.

Hang them in your bathroom, turn on the hot water in the shower, close door, wait, enjoy wrinkle free clothing.

This works best in hotels, since you're not (directly) paying the water bill.

Thats a good tip, but read the OP. His shirt is fine in the morning, but it gets wrinkled on hte car ride. I have my place only starch the collars, not teh the whole shirt, and mine rarely wrinkle. I have 25$ shirts up to 175$+ ones, so it seems to work for most fabrics.

You pay over $175 for a shirt. This makes me sad for some reason.

Why's that? And I never said I paid for them.
