I agree that such fabric would be "in the style of" rather than the real thing, but there are seemingly miraculous treatments available for 100% cotton that render it virtually wrinkle free.

It really is remarkable. As the only manufacturer I can find locally that produces slim fit 100% cotton dress shirts in solid colors is Brooks Brothers, that's what I wear, even though they're a bit pricey. If they can do it with this fabric, they can do it with anything, and it is remarkably durable. When my work shirts need laundering, I simply throw it in the washer along with other whites, and then a light tumble dry and it comes out looking like it was just pressed. It feels like cheating every time.

What these shirts look like straight out of the dryer, and in use, at work.

The only thing you need to remember with fabrics treated thus is that you should not use starch if you do elect to iron them as the enzymes in the starch breaks down the magic stuff they use to keep the garment wrinkle free.
