        Perhaps a more interesting question is how many Americans here are able to get their wive to iron their dress shirts for them. If it's more than 2, I'd be shocked. I'm expecting 0.

          She will now and then, otherwise I'm stuck doing it. However, in the summer here it is acceptable to roll your sleeves two or three times so the shirt is about at your elbow. It's more casual but still says your in "business mode".

                It all depends on the mix of materials. If you do 60% cotton, 40% synthetics you can hang them right out of the dryer and wear them and they look fine. If it 100% cotton they still look like ****. Since I'm lazy and refuse to iron, I don't buy 100% cotton anymore.

                  I dry clean my dress shirts. Haven't touched an iron in years.

                    Do you dry clean them or just have them laundered? I do the latter - dry cleaning is way too harsh for something that needs to be cleaned as often as a shirt.

                      Dry cleaned. Cleaned, pressed and returned in a plastic shroud.

                              Ditto, although I do have them laundered and lightly starched.
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                                That's pretty expensive. Most dry cleaners here will do a shirt for just under a dollar.
