Wrinkle-free shirts have been given a terrible rap as gross and chemically. While it is true that some have been irreversibly altered, for some shirts you can wash the chemicals out. For example, this LLBean trim fit will be soft and chemical-less in about 7-8 washes. Having worn two of these for both years of prep school, I can attest for their quality. They don't fit super slim as they fit similar to Brooks Brother's slim fit. I certainly don't swim in them. And really, for $29.50, you won't worry when you eat spaghetti sauce. I would recommend at least getting one and remember, frumpy takes time.
Dude, good post... LL Bean is a forgotten label on the mainstream. And yes, they do become more vintage feeling with more wears and washes. Nice post, very sartorial.
ReplyDeleteI need Bean and LE to do an extra slim fit...gimmie those high armholes...
ReplyDelete'Frumpy takes time' - I like it. I've got a few of these, and can attest that they are a great investment.
ReplyDeleteBig fan of the slim fit. It's a tad bit heavy but killer nonetheless.
