Chicago Loop - New Pressed Shirts?

[ChicagoJohn]

Is there anywhere in The Loop to get a shirt that's already ironed and pressed? I rode the train in the morning which felt like 90 degrees, ultra humid, and now my shirt is wrinkled to hell. I just got here, it's not even 9am. This is ridiculous, I feel like a wet cat.

I'd walk over to Macys or something, but I don't want one with fold and crease marks all over. I need it looking fresh from the dry cleaners

help?

You could buy a shirt, take it to any tailor, who would press it for you with one of their fancy ironing boards for probably around $5.

O RLY?

That's a wonderful idea. Thankyou.

Go over to Chris Despos on Oak St.
He has shirts, he is a tailor, and they can hook you up.

Oh sweet, when I bent over the sink in the restroom, my tie triggered the automatic soap dispenser. Blasting a giant blob of handsoap directly onto my tie.

This is the first time I've worn this tie. In fact, I just took the tags off this morning when I put it on. It wouldn't suprise me at this point for an anvil to fall on my head at lunch.

It's really not your day, is it?

Despos will also be happy to sell you a tie if you can muster the courage to leave your building.

I finally gave up and decided it'd be an act of humility to just go about the day looking ridiculous. They can't all be winners.
