brooks brothers non-iron shirts can be wadded up for days - when you put it on, your body heat puts it back into perfect shape, including creases. it is absolutely amazing.
here's an article about them - note the quote near the bottom that matches my experiences exactly: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-war-over-non-iron-shirts-1462386777 https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-war-over-non-iron-shirts-14...
- chrisseaton 6y agoWell I’m sure you’re telling the truth but I’m extremely surprised - even the best non-iron shirts I’ve ever tried still needed to be pressed to be presentable even straight out of a tumble dryer, let alone after being wadded up. I mean how can they simultaneously hold creases in the right places but resistant to creases in the wrong places? How does the fabric know which creases you need and which you don’t? And even the shirts in the article saying they don’t need ironing... look like they need a good ironing! But I guess I won’t be able to try the shirts you’ve used if they’re going bankrupt.

How does the fabric know which creases you need and which you don’t? how do shape memory materials work in general? in this case, heat is the stimulus, which returns the fabric to its pre-set state. it's pressed and treated chemically essentially converting the fabric into an SMM.
- MandieD 6y agoDo not tumble shirts dry - hang them up, preferably dripping a bit.
