I have several shirts that require ironing. I know from previous reading that whan making a shirt non-iron they first make the shirt then dip it in a formaldehyde resin bath. I used to have the name of a company that would do this but I must of cleared my cookies since then. Does anyone know of a company that I can send my shirts to that would do this?

Thanx!!!

I never iron my shirts. I like a slightly rumpled look. Helps dressing down a suit. I mean, even with a rumpled shirt I am still the best dressed man in the room most of the time.

MADNESS! You can buy non iron from Brooks Brothers or any other number of companies. I could issue non wrinkle shirts myself, but that would make them plastic to my mindset.

I've owned several shirts in the past that were all cotton wrinkle free from Nordstroms and Brooks Brothers... they look great and really don't need an ironing, but they do tend to be hotter due to their plastic dipped history.

Overall, I too prefer the look of a rumpled shirt.

Wow...I LOVE to iron my shirts...but I also think most no-iron wrinkle free shirts are hot as an oven in the summer.

Mr. Deckard is correct--as usual. Brooks Brothers makes excellent no-iron shirts, some with double cuffs, and many with patterns. Check there.

Not ironing shirts?...terribly bad form chaps, the only ones that escape the iron in this house are polo shirts.

As I usually keep my jacket on, I just iron the collar, cuffs and the front of shirts. If I'm wearing a waistcoat or jumper, I only iron the top half of the front too. I fail to see the point of doing any more...

Can't say I blame anybody for wanting non-iron shirts. I iron most of mine, though. Love those crisp creases on my sleeves.

Brooks Brothers does make nice ones, though. I have a couple.

I iron all my shirts...even the non iron. The Brooks Brothers just stay crisp throughout the day when most others are starting to wrinkle. This is especially true in this part of Texas with 90+ degree weather 6 months out of the year and 100% hummidity. In that weather ALL shirts are hot.

If worn with suits or sportcoat/trousers, then I have to agree. But not so egregious for casual wear.
