I want to get slim fit shirts that I can iron, with removable collar stays.

Is there a place to find them for cheap?

Thanks!

Try Brooks Bros slim fit from SSmith on B&S or RL Polo Regent

You don't want the "non-iron" shirts?

What do you mean by cheap?

Doing some research on what makes and brands of shirts feature removable collar stays might serve you well so you can find higher-end brands on eBay.

Good idea, thanks!

About non-iron: I'm not sure what the label means. But, I want the *option* to iron.

By cheap - I get shirts from JC Penny's for $14-$20 during a typical sale, and $4 during a major sale.

H&M

$15 for their limited patterns/solids made in cotton/poly mix, $30-50 for the thicker pure cotton ones.

There's really no place that is going to consistently give you $15 - $20 dress shirts with removable collar stays EXCEPT for finding deals on eBay.

Although JCPenny can often have good prices, it'll be worth your time and money to wait for better quality brands on eBay.

However, I suppose it depends on what your reason is for needing dress shirts?

Non iron contains a resin that I would imagine wouldn't be nice to apply heat to so you're on the money wanting to avoid it. As for finding the shirts, if $15-$20 is your budget you'll have a hard time finding things that meet any specific requirements because you're stuck scrounging clearance racks at department stores and looking on eBay. But I have definitely found good shirts for around $30 that way, good fabric and construction with a desired fit and removable stays to boot. I can imagine you could find slightly deeper discounts too that would put a good shirt in budget. But this all takes patience, so if you need to stock up quick for some reason or you want a consistent source of shirts you're going to have to compromise either on the specs you want or the price you want to pay.

And thanks for commenting on non-iron, World.
