Is there anywhere online where I can buy white shirts for my dh? All his shirts are stained and I don't have time to go shopping. Obviously, the cheaper the better. I don't think it would matter but he wears size 17 1/2. TIA.

I got them 39.50 - 30% AND free shipping so it came to abt 28 dollars a shirt which is more than id normally pay, but being that it saves us over $1 each time my husb wears it cuz usually we sent to cleaners, and my husband is a hard to find size.. its worth it. for those who send to cleaners..it pays to think abt it..

ANY type of dress shirt I wash it in the machine (COLD water), line dry it and it gets ironed by yours truly. I never in my life, sent a dress shirt to the dry cleaners...

The nice thing about Lands End is you can return it anytime, in any condition. It's really true--I sent back boots my kids had outgrown, tights with holes in them, sheets that were torn, etc. and got back a $130 check!!
However, if you don't want to invest that kind of money, French Toast has pinpoint white shirts, easy-care, for under $20 a shirt, and if you sign up for their emails, they have sales just about every week. The mens' shirts are under "Young Men" I think, but they still go up to size 17 1/2.

Not to change the topic but I feel - and I'm not saying you do- some people majorly abuse Lands End's return policy. The point of 100% satisfaction is NOT that you should take your kids whole wardrobe after you have gotten decent use from it and return it because it doesnt fit anymore. Yeah, they will probably take back anything, but when I bleached my DH's black pants, I didnt send it back because I did it and I was told its a major Chilul Hashem. Just because they are nice, doesnt mean a good policy should be abused. BTW, did you know that they refuse to send their catalogs to certain area and neighborhoods that have taken major advantage of them? Yes if something rips in a timely manner- not like 3 year after you purchased it I agree you should send it back but do realize the policy should not be taken advantage of.

Wow, the French Toast seems like a perfect solution. What's the difference between Oxford and the other ("dress") shirt? Thanks!

But they pride themselves on their quality, so I would expect sheets and tights not to rip as they did. I truly didn't expect much from them, and this check was a big surprise. But thank you for reminding me and others not to take advantage of them.

an oxford is a thicker cloth weave - used often in uniforms ... some people find them more practical while others like my sonny boy cannot stand the thickness ...
as for dry cleaning ... they merely press in the ring around the collar ... I would much rather bleach and starch shirts myself - not only saving $$ but having a nicer outcome ...
as far as sale prices - you have to be a good seeker and you can find better sales ... even on-line ...

Sorry, one more question - are they truly "wrinkle free"? As in, will I really not need to send to cleaners?
