    lads im sure many of you are in the same position, i wear suits every day, most of my shirts are tm lewin, but i find a lot of them, esp the 100fold cotton are very difficult to iron and then crease up during the day aswell.

    can anyone recommend a good crease resistant shirt, id like a decent brand, and something that has a nice cut.

    cheers

    I've tried those non-crease shirts before, they're not great. OP to reduce crease, put them on a decent size hanger (ie not plastic) straight after washing and hang them. It's much easier then. I use TM Lewin shirts a lot as well and find it makes things much quicker.

    Hey very interested in this as I HATE ironing stuff but need them 6 days a week for work,

    Where would I get a Olymp Luxor??

    You can get Olymp shirts online or in some menswear shops.
    Also try Van Heusen Non-Iron Cotton Rich Shirts - these cotton rich shirts utilise Van Heusen's unique Vapor Phase technology.
    I'll pm you some shops

    unfortunately there are no such things as good non iron shirts :(

    My tips are:

    * Hang up shirt as soon as wash is completed and if possible iron while its still a bit damp.
    * lash shirt in tumble dryer and take it out and hang it up while its still hot
    * get the Ma/missus to do it
    * leave it in to dry cleaners. My local irons a shirt for a euro

    Olymp Luxor shirts are massive (in size, not street talk!) - they are designed for broad chested Germans after all! I found them easier to iron but they still needed ironing. More importantly as a guy of small build, I felt drowned by the shirt!
