The cheapest I ever paid was about a $1 per shirt but I had to take them to them. I guess we just don't have as many "Suits" as you do in Chicago to foster that kind of competition."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I paid $1.25 to have my shirts laundered by the dry cleaners.
Wezil, I'll bet that, even though you take your shirts to the dry cleaner, they're laundering them. That's what mine did, and it makes more sense. The shirts come back in plastic just as if they were dry cleaned.

I wear Andrew-J shirts, they're non-iron (they're actually sort of self-ironing using your body temp) and stain-resistant. I've had them for years now and they're awesome for traveling because I can just roll my shirts to put into my suitcase and not worry about wrinkles and stuff. They're not expensive either. At regular pricing they're between 75 and 85 EUR, but I recently bought one (my fourth shirt) at a sale for half price!

I knew some black guys in the service that had their permanent pressed fatigues heavily starched, to the point that there was this shine to them. They always won Monday morning inspection and got days off. Forget that crap. Even in The World, I do light starch.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
