I wear all cotton, or cotton blend dress shirts. I can't relate to the problem. My cleaner comes to my office and picks up all my dry cleaning and shirts, on friday, then delivers them back to me on Monday. The service runs me about $1.25 per shirt, and $2.50 per slack, for my dry cleaning. I usually tip the guy a $20 bill for the delivery and pickup. :)

do you get the shirts laundered and pressed, or dry cleaned?

Another vote for Brooks Brothers. I really like their shirts and they are decent in durability. I always wear through the elbows though, gone through 6 BB shirts like that.

Stay away from Talbots Men's wrinkle free, way too fragile.

Ill bet laundered. And thats a cheap price for a laundered shirt, and a pair of slacks.
I wonder; is the finished product good? How good is the stain removal?

If my dad charged like that for garments Im not sure hed be able to make any money.

The brooks brothers ones are great!! I have a 3 year old blue wrinkle-free shirt and I haven't had to iron it a whole lot.

The shirts are laundered and pressed, with medium starch. They guy has a deal with our whole company, so he's not just doing my garments, but probably 20 others here, as well.

It does, but I'd rather that, than look like an unmade bed half way though my day. :)
