Plus, they look awesome straight out of the dryer, no dry clean or iron needed.


This really is true. If you compare this to the non-iron shite you'd get at, say, a men's wearhouse, it's night and day.

Better non-ironness than Jos. A. Bank, too.

good shirts.

Only buy when there's a great sale. I just can't justify the price for their shirts vs. others.



I feel you. I pretty much just get mine as birthday and Christmas gifts from my mom. I'm not too fashionable of a fellow and don't do a lot of clothing shopping, ha

Roundtree and York travel smart short sleeve button down shirts are what I wear for clinic. They look good and are cheap enough that I won't be too upset if they get ruined.

90% of my button downs are Brooks or Orvis. But I do increasingly rely on Gold Label from Dillards for dress shirts.

I recently decided I'd try to start ironing more often and limit my dry cleaning bill so, week 1, I wash and dry my clothes from the week and set up to start ironing - but the Banana shirts looked great.

It was bittersweet, learning that I no longer had to dry clean or iron these shirts and regretting the $ I'd spent already doing it.

I have exactly two, one was a gift and the other I got over there.

I'm partial to the No-Iron Brooks Brothers at about $65-ish each.

The only negative is that I find that the fabric wears on high points (collars leading edges/ points) so I avoid dark colored shirts or even dark prints, not that there are many appropriate print shirts for business wear.

Light blue and white all day long. Always long-sleeved.

The problem with buying shirts online, for me, is I don't know how the top button will fit. I wear v-neck to shirts underneath (and I don't want them to show), but if its too high, I don't like that either....

I find the Brooks Brothers shirts to not vary as to size. I would think you'd be safe once you locked into the right size for you.

The Roundtree and Yorke Gold Label slim fit shirts aren't bad at all for the price. They aren't as "slim" as other's, but they aren't very baggy. I think for like 50 bucks you get a decent shirt. I've also gotten Jo. A. Bank Slim fit shirts that I don't mind either for the price. I wear nothing but the non-iron shirts and pants and pop everything in the drier in the morning.

I like Brooks Bros as well, but like other's have said, it's about double the price as those other two. I get all my pants from Brooks Bros. or Bonobos though.

You have to get the Brooks Brothers during one of their bi- annual sales. They are like 60 bucks and once you find your size you can just order online.
