I love these shirts but they do not last. I bought 5 in August of 2010. As of today (January 25), all 5 have developed torn elbows. I do not take these shirts to the dry cleaners for laundry. I wash and iron them myself.
I have two of these shirts and wear them at least once a week. They are still like new after several months wear. They retain their shape and truly do not need ironing. On top of their good looks and durability, they are comfortable. A great value!
