A lower yarn count. 80/2 twill will be less prone to wrinkles.

4 weeks? WTF...my small shop turns a shirt around in less then. 2 hours from Cut to pressing when rushed.Eton is an overpriced mediocre shirt made in Bulgaria..Most wrinkle-resistant shirts are sprayed with chemicals, like formaldehyde. Eton goes in and restructures the fibers of their shirts (few chemicals required). This also means the wrinkle-resistance lasts much longer.
3 Reasons You Need to Own Eton Shirts
Caption: Photo from eton.com Eton is one of the best shirt makers in the world. If you’re debating whether to try Eton, we highly recommend it. And here are three reasons you should: Higher quality Most off-the-rack shirts take four days to make. Eton shirts take four weeks. But you’re...hhclothingco.com
Not here to promote Eton shirts. Just my experience with them.
I tried to find what (few chemicals required) but no info readily available.
I recommend the Thomas Mason Journey fabrics. A special wrinkle-resistant treatment gives this cotton shirt a smoothness and a clean look that will last throughout a busy day. Thomas Mason is widely considered one of the top Italian mills for dress shirt fabrics Which you must know as you were wearing their fabrics. The Journey line is awesome. You can find it at J.Hilburn or some other vendors stock RTW shirts made from it.I am looking for some advice on dress shirts. My office and those of our customers are business casual, typically separates rather than suits and sport coats only when meeting with clients.
I had some customs shirts made fairly recently. They turned out well, however after sitting in a desk chair for a while they are so creased that I don't feel like I can walk around without hiding them under a coat.
The picture shows what I mean - this is in a Thomas Mason Royal Twill 100/2 (FM 18474.16). It was nicely pressed when I started the day. I was very disappointed after hearing all about how great this cloth is.
Are there options for cloth that would look similar to this twill but not crease as easily? I have seen OTR Eton shirts with a similar look that don't seem to crease badly - am I better off with tailoring these instead of custom?
Thanks!
Interesting, didn't know that about the fit. I think I would rather have them fit.Fit also matters. A shirt that is too tight will wrinkle more quickly than a shirt cut with an appropriate amount of ease so the fabric is under less tension.
Thanks for the advice on TM Journey, I will take another look at them.I recommend the Thomas Mason Journey fabrics
Does anyone know of any mills outside of Eton's making something similar that I could point my shirtmaker to?Most wrinkle-resistant shirts are sprayed with chemicals, like formaldehyde. Eton goes in and restructures the fibers of their shirts (few chemicals required). This also means the wrinkle-resistance lasts much longer.
Good to know, thanksA lower yarn count. 80/2 twill will be less prone to wrinkles.
All of the mills produce some sort of treated fabric.I seem to have activated some form of PSTD for non-iron shirts. I am not expecting no wrinkles, just looking for a similar fabric that wrinkles less. Thanks for all the advice.
