Does it hurt a noniron shirt to send it regularly to the dry cleaners?

Brooks Brothers non-iron shirts are the BEST! I can fly across the country and have them packed in my suit case, they come out like they were just dry cleaned!

I use a spray de-wrinkler on items that need ironing – it works best on cotton, but does a passable job on other fabrics as well. My favorite brand is Downy Wrinkle Releaser.

Hmmm…I don’t put my shirts in a dryer – just hang-em. Find the drying shrinks them over time and also roughs them up a bit.

The ones I have are generally from Eddie Bauer.

Frankly, I find ironing to be pretty theraputic. I don’t like just sitting and watching tv, so it’s a good excuse to watch something without the guilt.

(PS – Small world…I split my time between Rockville and a K Street DC pseudo-law firm!)

I just wear ordinary ladies dress shirts and I don’t iron most of them- I have found that hanging them to dry instead of using the dryer makes the wrinkles fall out of most tops, so I save energy two ways, and lots of time.

Phil — Really? I’ve never ironed mine. I even worked at a K Street D.C. law firm that required business professional dress every day (suits and heels for the ladies), and was praised for my “sharp dress” and “sophisticated style.” Most of my non-iron shirts are Brooks Brothers and Talbots brands — maybe there is more variation between brands than I was aware? I also make it a point to be at my dryer when the bell sounds and pull the shirts out immediately. Has anyone else had the same experience as Phil? Do brands of non-iron products matter more than I knew?

I’ve never met a no-iron shirt that *really* didn’t need ironing.

I guess you can get away with it, but I wouldn’t come to work in an unironed no-iron shirt.

That said, I still buy ‘em because they are far easier to iron and stay ironed when you’re wearing them.
