Looks like Brooks Brothers is doing a sale starting now, men's shirts 2 for $99, seems similar to the clearance sales they have, except you only need to buy 2 shirts to get the discount instead of 3. Normally shirts are 3 for $199.

It still shows 3 for 199 for me. Can you provide a link?

These were discussed quite a lot in both here in AAAC. It's mostly about personal taste. Some don't really care about the materials that much they love these since they're non-iron, duh. But some (me included) don't like the materials, hard to explain though.. they're just not quite cotton.

They look nice and pressed out of the dryer and stay that way, but they don't breathe very well, don't drape, and wear out more quickly, IME. Plus, there's something unnatural about the way they won't wrinkle at all.

I have a few, used to have more. They're handy for traveling.

Interesting. So they really don't wrinkle? I always though that was sort of a gimmick (not just with BB, but with anything "non-iron").

A lot of nonirons are blends of poly cotton. Brooks's are 100% cotton, but treated with chemicals so they don't wrinkle. You can certainly press a creas into them, but they're quite wrinkle resistant.

There are other threads discussing this if you search.

BB non-iron shirts will see very minimal wrinkles right out of the dryer. You can wear em all day and they will look the same at 7 PM as they did at 7 AM.

The shirts may blow out quicker though.

When I want to dress the abolute best, I won't wear a BB non-iron, but the shirts are very good for standard every day work wear.

Also, BB seems to have many more patterns and such in non-iron than they do in the traditional cotton.

Just got an email from BB, this deal will be for May 21 and May 22 only (but it seems to work today too).

Not bad. I've been receiving cards in the mail for $25.00 off of a purchase of $100 or more, so as long as you can find something else to bump you over the limit, the sale is even better.
