I am so pissed with dry cleaners. Does anyone know of a dry cleaner that does not screw up the collar of a dress shirt. It seems that all off them use machines that mess up the collars and you have to re-iron the collars. I am so tired of paying for shirts to be laundried and still having to re-press the collars.

Go to Nordstrom and get a smart shirt. It requires little to no ironing an starts at 60 bucks, best service around too. Ask for CID that's my guy

I've seen those smart shirts but doubted they really needed no ironing. Thanks for the confirmation that they actually work. Also, Nordstrom is one of the few stores other than a big and tall that actually stocks my arm length.

However, I still have a closet full of cotton dress shirts and would love to find a decent laundry that doesn't screw up the collars. I just can't believe everyone is ok with the way these automated machines mess it up every time!

I stopped dry cleaning, I just launder normally any more and then use a steamer. It works well enough.

Besides I stopped seeing the need to take $16 shirts and spent maybe $3 or more a pop. The cheap Costco Kirkland brands are about as good as anything except the super premium brands.

But that's just my opinion.

as mentioned above by name but we use the one at West Avenue and NW Military. A little out of the way but a pretty easy shot to either 1804 or 281. I told them what I was looking for and when I got my first set back -- they had a note on the item to ask me if this was the way I liked them. After that -- things have been on automatic.

Culpeppers for sure.
