I own several of the "no-iron" dress shirts from BB that Scott mentioned, and they are great! Brooks Brothers has an outlet store in Missouri at the Lake of the Ozarks, so whenever I'm at the lake, I always have to stop and make a purchase! :mrgreen:

Thank you for that info, Todd. I am sure we must have shirts of similar quality over here but I have yet to find any "Non-Iron" shirts that really do not need an iron - even after hand-washing! I actually quite enjoy ironing shirts (yes, I know!) so if I have to do so, it is no real hardship. Besides, it gives me something to do whilst I am watching the BBC-TV News at 10.00pm!!
