First off, I know, it's just a fishing shirt, but...

When I wash and dry my pfg shirts they come out incredibly wrinkled. Wrinkled to the point of it just looking ridiculous. I'm not trying to make a fashion event out of them, but is there anything you can do to help with the wrinkles and creases?

Thanks

When they're fully dry, put them back in the dryer with a wet/damp washcloth for like thirty minutes. Never tried it, but I heard the steam helps get the wrinkles out. Or try running your shower with hot water and hanging the shirts in your bathroom.

They are extremely difficult to keep wrinkle free. I had a couple Columbias about 10 years ago and couldn't keep them decent. They were outdoor shirts anyway.

I do this with any wrinkled clothes and it works. Usually doesn't even take that long. I'm a poor college student with no iron. And even if I had one I'd still do the drier thing because I fricking hate ironing.

I use a steamer on mine then hang them. I quit buying them though bc they kept fading. Too much money to spend on something that fades after 10 washes

When you wash them, use smaller wash/dry loads. The more room to tumble while drying = less wrinkles.

to each their own, they work fine for me, i'd much rather spend $16 on something that i'm going to get fish blood all over. I don't need anything special for that.

sounds like you got too much stuff in your dryer at one time brah. Wash em on delicate with a few polo's or something and put em in the dryer on low. Seems to work for mine.

It might be the material it is also. The PFGs I wear are a really soft material, look kinda like ripstop material. Without the ripstop threading of course. I can't remember what the shirt itself is called. But, they don't fade or wrinkle. Pretty sure i balled them up in the corner of my backpack on a recent trip to fit them in and they came out unwrinkled. Also, try to smaller load thing.... you could also try washing them in some "tech" wash. Several companies make it.
