Pilot Shirts???

Once I started wearing Landerwood shirts I will never order anything else. Quality, fit, customer service. The only pilot shirts I have found that feel and fit like something from Brooks Brothers or the like.

I absolutely adore Landerwood service, and the fact that they're made in the USA. I think they're A#1, and would recommend them to absolutely anyone... if they're right for them.

Unfortunately, I just didn't love their shirts as much as A Cut Above. That's not saying they weren't better, but they weren't better for me.

The "Cut Above" tropo material makes my life so much easier. I do pass an iron around them very gently on the rare occasion, but the Cut Above women's 10 in tropo is just about the perfect shirt for me. It fits amazingly well. I don't have to iron them in the hotel room -ever-, unless I'm low on shirts. The fit is fantastic... before the women's shirts, I was using the tropo men's fitted with a -2" tailor, and it was almost perfect.

So if Landerwood works for you, definitely support them! Otherwise, A Cut Above is a damned good product.

What is this "iron" device everyone keeps talking about? Is it part of that medieval torture device I sometimes see in hotel room closets?
 
Ugh, I can't even believe I'm asking this, but....I will necro-post anyway.

I wear the VanHeusen tapered shirts. They're the only ones that fit properly and I buy enough of them to rotate & get them dry cleaned, so they last a long time.

The store in both DTW and ATL stopped carrying them, and I don't like their shirts. So it looks like mail order for me...

Anyone got a good, reliable ordering spot for VH shirts? No, "Sporty's" is not an appropriate answer.

Dryer+shirt+an ice cube at home. Because I'm too lazy and cheap to iron. Hang it in the bathroom while you shower for the hotels.

Laundry bag + Car + Dry Cleaners. Because I'm too lazy to do anything laundry related.

Irony. Moved into my new place. Got all new appliances. Top of the line Whirlpool range, ultra-quiet KitchenAid DW and top of the line Maytag Commercial washer/dryer.

The range functions awesomely as a towel rack and clock and serves to keep the dust off the floor it occupies.

The DW IS pretty cool. You can't even hear it run standing next to it.

The Maytag washer has something, which at first I didn't make a big deal about....auto detergent dispenser. Fill up the reservoir. Now you throw clothes in, hit start. Not messing with the detergent is AWESOME. And yes, the dryer has a steam mode.
 
Guys- it's a math problem.

It takes roughly 3 minutes to iron a shirt.

If you have 10 shirts then it takes 30 minutes to do all of them, say 40 including setup, warm up, breakdown and cool down. The ratio is worse if you do them piecemeal because the setup/breakdown time is multiplied.

My dry cleaners cost $1.50/shirt. Therefore, if you use my dry cleaners and own ten shirts and make more than $65/hour (working a touch of travel into the mix) it doesn't make economical sense to do your own laundry.

Even laziness can be calculated :p
