“I have no idea what the technology behind it is, but I am sold…”
City Girl, I hate to break it to you, but the “technology” is usually formaldehyde resin. Personally, I’d rather iron my shirts than knowingly expose myself to a carcinogen on a daily basis. For that reason, I avoid non-iron shirts like the plague.

I love this shirt, but bananarepublic.com has been out of a lot of sizes/color combos for quite a while. I am not into citrus so I guess I’ll have to wait!

I am rather busty, and I find that BR’s fitted shirts don’t (ahem) accommodate my assets very well. Their classic shirts fit me perfectly though, but alas there is the French cuff problem.

I’ve never tried BR’s no-iron shirts, but I wear the Brooks Brothers ones pretty religiously. They are pricey, but worth it, and they do go on sale and/or are available from outlets. I have a couple of the semi-fitted or fitted ones that have french cuffs, and I NEVER have to iron them. They come out of the dryer looking perfect. Am I just lucky?

Anyone know if these shirts can be put in the dryer without shrinking?
I bought a couple of the classic fit ones — just couldn’t get the sizing right on the fitted ones, I was in between 2 sizes. Don’t really care for the french cuffs, but whatever.

I have been looking for a cotton long-sleeved shirts that don’t required ironing, this is good info, thanks. I always thought Brooks Brothers was the only one who had them!

I love Banana, but I have the same problem as “j” with the fit of these shirts. Gaping buttons at bra level = not so attractive.

Lands End online also has no-iron shirts….and if you don’t like them you can return them for free at any Sears.

Eddie Bauer also has noniron shirts, and some of theirs have a bit of stretch to them. They fit a little bigger than I’d like (the sleeves are really roomy for some reason) but they don’t gap.

Two notes:
To Anon_K, these Banana shirts shrink over time like it’s their job (or at least mine of a year ago did) if you put them in the dryer. In fact, I heard from a menswear place that you’re supposed to put non-iron shirts in the dryer for five minutes, then take them out and hang them up. I am too lazy to do this, so I stick with Land’s End shirts, which I haven’t found to shrink, which leads me to note 2 . . .
I second the Land’s End suggestion. If you basically order a size down in a Tall, you get a fairly fitted shirt with a profile I found similar to my Banana shirt (pre-shrinkage). This might not work for the petite ladies out there, but it’s gotten my 5’9″ frame some perfectly fitted, well-behaved shirts.

banana also has non-iron *tailored* shirts which are roomier in the bust area. i personally don’t need it but i could get them a size down because they have some great colors in that style.

br is great. also try van heusen and geoffrey beene for mens no iron shirts.
