Svetlana never has an issue getting the wrinkles out of my clothes.

Downey wrinkle release. Since one of our maids told us about the wrinkle release I’ve been carrying a small bottle on business trips.


This stuff is awesome. Not sure what it does to your clothes long-term, but not having to iron everything is great. I use it all the time at home too.

You could take it to the cleaners. Most offer shirt service.


Folding ironing board, a dual purpose iron (dry or steam), a can of spray starch and you're in business in about 5 minutes or less.

The biggest scam is the HVAC companies selling duct cleaning services to customers. Anyone that sells that as a service deserves to die in a fire anyone who falls for it deserves to have their money stolen. It is straight up theft.

The tips of the collar bend in, with metal collar stays.

I realize I'm fricking gay for saying it but I personally enjoy ironing my shirts in the same way I enjoy mowing the lawn.

Nothing like the feeling of taking some savage wrinkles out of an all cotton shirt with the iron on MAX and hitting that bitch with some steam.

I love it.

Just cram that bitch in my carry on knowing when I get to the hotel I can make it an OT10 with the room iron

Start with the button hole side work your way around the whole shirt, put the sleeves on the board and flatten them then finish with a little action around the collar and the shoulders of the shirt.

5 minutes. Done.

Gold label button downs are the best wrinkle free shirts.


This- I've had a couple of shirts for over 10 years, and I don't think either have ever seen an iron.

I have 1 shirt from Brooks Brothers that's pretty good, too- I still run a quick iron over it, but it's mostly for the crease down the sleeve.

I have nice shirts that I send to the cleaners.

Wife works retail, so I can get "wrinkle free" shirts for a very low price. The all cotton ones aren't that wrinkle free. I get some that aren't all cotton and they stay very wrinkle free. I wear them on non-court days.

This just means you are one of the few true gentlemen left.

Also, every Marine can iron a shirt.

One of the only places not hit by inflation honestly. Dry Cleaners are still one of the cheapest places out there.

I have a few that are really impressively wrinkle resistant.

a button down from Brooks Brothers that you can throw in a laundry basket, forget about for a week and only need to iron the collar.

Yeah, pretty much any shirt will wrinkle if you leave it in the dryer for a couple of hours or especially overnight.

This stuff is the shite. I use it regularly on t-shirts and polo shirts off the hanger. The wrinkles just disappear.

My wife actually makes our own and we just keep using the spray bottle. She mixes a small amount of fabric softener and fills the bottle with water. Pick up a bottle of this stuff and then make your own. The spray nozzle shoots a really fine mist and doesn’t wet your shirt too much.

Toss the shirt/shirts in a dryer with a damp cloth and let them tumble for about 10 minutes and they should come out in good shape.
