These shirts are a staple in my husband's work wardrobe. Ironing is definitely NOT mandatory when retrieved from a warm dryer. Extremely well made, durable and comfortable.
This shirt maintains its crisp wrinkle free appearance after many washings. It is comfortable and easy to wear. The flexibility of being able to choose the collar and sleeve length make it especially perfect to wear without a jacket. They are a main staple in my wardrobe.
I've been buying these shirts from LLBean for about 20 years. Their buttons don't fall off after years of drycleaning. The shirts are made of high quality material. These shirts typically last me 3 years before I feel like I should replace them. Just recently some new shirts, which were less than 4 months old, came back from the drycleaner with long rips in the shirts. The drycleaner faxed me documentation (which I included with the returned shirts) that explains that certain dying processes (these shirts are imported) cause the material to be weak in different places. LLBean has replaced all such shirts that have ripped during the dryclean process, as their 100% customer satisfaction gaurantee is in force. They send me a new shirt, and I send them back the defective one. Note: this just started occurring with new shirts in the last year or so and its rare.
I am always looking for new wrinkle free solutions for my husband. I like the weight of this one, it's really sturdy feeling and really wrinkle free. I really like the french blue classy looking stripe.
