BigNickD Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Light starch, had one too many Sea Island cotton shirts wear out too soon with heavier starch. I also must agree that French cuffs are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Well Ubi, you opened that wide open...... My wife likes it crisp & stiff, but alas, at 62, it comes & goes. As far as shirts, medium. They got pills for that now. Medium starch for me. the 100% cotton shirts end up too stiff and some of the blended fabrics too soft.

ThinkBachs Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Medium starch on the collar, cuffs and button strip, then wrinkle releaser on the body and sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I don't think I have ever owned a white dress shirt. I wear blue or grey with a suit which I rarely wear and always have them dry cleaned. Most of my shirts are silk Tommy Bahama and Nat Nast short sleeve. These are considered dressy for Florida and always dry cleaned. You guys are way too formal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR2 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) The day they make a shirt that doesn't wrinkle I'll buy it. Then get yourself to a Brooks Brothers and buy you some non-iron dress shirts. This is coming from a former USMC.

bmedude Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I never starch my shirts when I press them on my own. However, if I ever get them cleaned at a dry cleaner, I'll never complain about having a "stiff" shirt because of heavy starching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
