Where to buy a "pre-ironed" shirt

rossyl · 4 Mar 2008 at 09:18

Need a shirt for this evening, that I can just wear straight off the rack.

It will be for a suit, and i'll need a tie as well.

So It can't come packaged or have fold marks on it.

Shops near me
- Moss Bros
- Next
- TM Lewin
- Charles Tywhitt
- Savoy Tailors Guild
- M&S

I was thinking maybe Next?

oxfam comes washed and ironed ?

M&S is probably your best bet, their range of non-iron shirts is nice.

Just buy one straight off the rack.

Thats your best bet for getting one with the least creases in.

If not, buy one, take it to the dry cleaners and ask them to press it for you.

Will cost you all of £2 ish.

yes...but which of those places sell shirts straight off the rack.

I'm thinking that TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt, most their shirts are packaged in cellophane and folded. So not there.

I was thinking the same for M&S

or am i wrong?

M&S shirts are folded and in cellophane.

City man has no time to shop!

Only shirts I've seen on hooks ready to wear are in Burtons, Next and Top Man.

Can't you buy a shirt and iron it? It's a 5 minute job!

ojste · 4 Mar 2008 at 10:20

H&M if you want something cheap. Reiss is you want something nice

Peño · 4 Mar 2008 at 10:48

All those shops you've named have shirts that come folded and/or in cellophane. Get the apron and iron out fella!

Ironing a shirt only takes 15 minutes. Why can't you do that?

Maybe he's going out unexpectedly straight after work and lives half hour away?

Give Harvie & Hudson on Jermyn Street a call. Have a look at the shirts on their website, pick one and ask them to iron it for you before you collect it. No doubt they will happily oblige if you explain the situation.

wow must like it itchy...going to have lots of starch in the shirt.

15 minutes? maybe thats where i`m going wrong, mine take 15 seconds

badbob · 4 Mar 2008 at 12:25

If you're going to wear a jacket, only iron the collar and front of the shirt Don't bother with arms or back :-D
