I need some work shirts!
 

Hey guys.

Does anyone make any decent looking, short sleeve shirts that I can wear at work that are wrinkle-resistant? You know, like the type of shirts with a collar and a few buttons on the top? My closet is looking bleak when it comes to work clothes, and I would like to buy something that will look decent after 10 miles in a pannier.

Thanks!

Not sure how formal you have to look, but North Face and other outdoors companies make button-down shirts that are made of polyester or other synthetics that are somewhat wrinkle resistant, and usually breathable so you maybe could wear them on the ride itself. However, they do look casual:

You mean like a polo or rugby shirt?
Like a t-shirt with a collar and buttons that can be tucked in. Try to get something with a waffle weave, those are naturally resistant. Or something in a 50/50 cotton/poly wrinkle resistant blend.
Lay the shirt flat then roll it, it'll keep it from wrinkling and creasing as you transport it.

Good ideas. That shirt looks like what I need. My work is pretty informal (jeans most of the time), but I can't wear T-shirts or anything. Yeah, rugby shirts work too. I would like to quit buying crappy clothes and only buy clothes that hardly ever need to be ironed!

Sierratradingpost.com often has name brand shirts, like Carhartt, decently priced in their Bargain Barn. Sign up for their email specials which often have some amazing deals. And, no, I don't work for stp I just love taking advantage of some of the bargains they offer. :D

i've been buying polo shirts from old navy. They've got a ton on sale all the time, and they're cheap. I roll them like slvoid said and havn't had any trouble, my commute is 6 miles. I roll it seconds before I leave and take it out immediatly when I get there, so it's not in the bag for very long at all.

If you need to wear a tie at work, I recommend Claiborne for Men. A bit spendy but good fit and quality.

Dockers are also nice, a bit more affordable, and you can find them at Penney's.

Brooks Brothers has a line of "no-iron" shirts that are truly remarkable. I've crumpled those things into all manner of inhumane balls and tubes and they've always emerged looking clean and fresh. I think Eddie Bauer offers similar products.
