Dress shirts for me - $$$$$$$$$$$

[Chocolate Moose]

DH wears a wrinkle free, stain free, short sleeved, fitted (athletic) dress shirt each day to work, and he washes them in a full load of his shirts only, once a month and hangs them up to dry.

He hasn't bought any for ten years, and by the time he decided that a lot of his were ripped, stained, etc., I couldn't get anything on sale anymore at JC Penney. The only ones left were $30,and the shipping alone was $34 !!!!

I anyway ordered him some in plain white and plain light blue, and I told him better luck next year for some in stripes. I looked around online, and ALL the mens shirts seem expensive !

I guess i shouldn't complain because they DID last 10 years, and are easy care - they have all those features - stain free, wrinkle free, and a fitted look, but I am smarting at the shopping cost.

Anyone?

Cost of fuel? We're going to feel it in more situations than we ever imagined.

Oh......I guess...another reason that we should have bought earlier in the season.

No one has them cheaper - not Macy's, certainly not Jos. A Banks or Brooks Bros. (I know a lot of my coworkers wear that brand).

I don't want to chance an off brand which might mean return costs ... I see a brand Arrow which I think my brother wore, and Van Heusen which is a lot of polyesther and I 'm afraid DH won't find that comfortable.

Guess I'm just going to have to suck it up.

My DH has always had luck with mail ordering from "www.haband.com". They have really good sales and the shirts wash and dry beautifully without ironing.
