those random creases you get in knit collars of polo shirts.

I hate them. Got a nice Orvis shirt, wore it and washed it once, now it has a crease in it. It's like somebody sneaks in, irons a permanent crease in it, and throws it back in the dryer. I prefer the gentle rollover of my polo collars. Polo Ralph Lauren seems to do it the least. What causes that anyways?

polo.
What ticks me off are dress shirts. Decades ago dress shirts were thicker. If you added a decent starching at the dry cleaners, they stayed wrinkle free all day.
But these dress shirts today are WAY too thin. Even the more expensive dress shirts are made of thin material. I tell them to starch the ever living #### out of them, and they're still wrinkled before lunchtime. I remember in high school I could wear a dress shirt 3 times to church before it was too wrinkled. I don't even get to the sermon today without it being too wrinkled to wear again.
My WORST peeve about polo shirts, and most knit shirts, is when that drop of burger grease falls and hits the shirt right on your gut. At that point you can chunk the shirt because that grease stain will NEVER come out. I have some cheap, Sam's microfiber khaki pants that are freaking awesome. They do not wrinkle. I can wear them right out of the dryer, and they do not stain.

but they're not as bad as the Ralph Lauren button downs that my BiL started giving me for bdays
full out pirate shirt. also, they're not terribly short, but it's like they decided to skip the last/bottom button on those shirts...the last one basically sits at my belly button, and then the rest of the shirt never really tucks/sits right
I don't wear them anymore, want 'em?

but you sound old af. You long for the days of burlap dress shirts loaded with starch? I seriously don't know anybody under 50 that gets starch in a shirt. And unless I'm going to a bidness meeting in Minneapolis in January, give me thin and breathable all day.

at el shid we used to starch shirts so much you could wear it for 2 weeks wrinkle free. Can't get sweat stains when the shirt can't soak it up.

And dry cleaned khakis- they never wear out. Over 50, right in step with 80's fashion. Well, except no pleats or cuffs on pants, and no woven leather belt.

I need a new brand
May 16, 2018, 11:00 AM
|

the 'usuals' generally consist of where SheGUAR shops, as I generally don't care to shop for work clothes
Banana Republic - non-irons are great, until the left elbow gives out. They're moving more and more towards full-out 'slim fit' (which I.Am.Not.) in store, which only leaves few selections to choose from
Brooks Bros - not bad, pricier...also a tad 'blouse-ier'
J Crew - can't do it, have only found one non-flannel shirt that can contain these gunz. Their heavy-duty flannels are great cold weather shirts (a little on the short side, tho)...but not for an office environment
Gap - same deal, I'd accidentally @Lakebum1® them the second I bent my arm, and BEWM, sleaveless.
I wouldn't mind trying the Untuckd shirts...except you're looked upon as lepers here if you're not tucked
I know, I know...

fit these days. Aint no shirts out there for a husky individual.
I wear JCrew ones typically but that is because I bought them 10 years ago and still wear them. They are all too short and i have to roll up the sleeves (White People, lulz). They all need ironing so I just put one in the dryer and pray I dont have an important meeting.
Wife got me a new JCrew shirt, washed and dried and I am 90% sure it is now an adult small.

become business casual accepted so that I can just go ahead and fill my closet out with various colors of those, and short sleeve Carhart shirts. That's all I would need. I usually just cut the sleeves off when they start getting a little worn and transition them to yard/lake/lounge around the house duty.

Overton.
MH Frank, Dumas in Charleston, The Men's Shop in York (RIP) and numerous other fine Southern men's clothiers will white label the Overton brand shirts and I have never once had a complaint as to the quality of their shirts. Nice thick shirts that don't wrinkle and resist staining as well as any I've ever owned.

actually, the Orvis shirt was bought at Thrift Store.
May 16, 2018, 10:33 AM

Orvis donates returns, defects, overruns, etc to them. I think I paid $4 for the brand new shirt.
Orvis is funny, they make some really nice stuff, and then they make some stuff that appears nice until you look close. They have a full-price store downtown I go into sometimes, all their stuff is spendy.

Pretty much have to go to a golf pro shop to get anything of somewhat lasting durability anymore. Even there you have to be very selective.
