Question on a dress shirt like this one...... https://www.spierandmackay.com/white-fine-twill-30036.html how does it come out from the dryer? completely wrinkled and disheveled like a typical non-treated cotton or do they look somewhat OK with simple steam treatment? The obvious reason why I ask is - I hate ironing......
I don't have a great answer for you, but I will say a shot of single malt whiskey and a good podcast, and I'm OK ironing out a few shirts. It's soothing.

This shirt will shrink in the dryer FYI.

I air dry and have to iron but its not as difficult as the black label shirts. A dedicated steamer might do the trick but in my opinion, it needs a true press.

Were the shots of the cream sport coat overexposed at all? The cream trousers looks truer to white. I'm hoping that the shots of the sport coat are more representative of the colour.

I posted a picture some pages back in the cream linen trousers. It's pretty cream, although it still looks a shade different to the website image.

Interesting to see the 38L offered in some of the seasonal linen jackets. I guess I've got to pick one up to show there's demand for the size - ESPECIALLY IN THE NEO CUT

:( I was afraid of such.......

I thought I read somewhere that the proprietor is working on non-iron fabric with less formaldehyde content than what is out there in the market.......

What shirt/pant colours would you guys pair the cigar linen coat with? Debating how versatile it is.

Combo of the season is going to be this...

Shirt wise I'll play it by ear but thinking white, blue or green cotton/linen bengal stripe, probably even the wide stripe linen that is coming.

Will work with cream or olive pants easily as well.


Edit: Cream trousers, navy polo, and cigar jacket :slayer:
