Tips for making dress shirts softer?

[Bourne]

Hey y'all,

I can't stand itchy dress shirts, and I have a very low tolerance for discomfort. I'll buy 15 dress shirts and return 14 of them because only one will be tolerable. Needless to say, it's a handful.


Anybody know any tips for getting dress shirts to be less itchy? I've even tried "sanding" them on the carpet.

Wear a t-shirt or wife beater underneath

Cotton only.

Use fabric softener when they are new

responses to above ideas:

- fabric softener doesnt seem to do much...
- my most comfy shirt of all time was 100% polyester. what does that mean for cotton being better?
- undershirts dont deal with arms or neck

Buy some pink ones or with flowers embroidered, you'll look soft as shiiit

Is your skin really that sensitive that you can only wear 1 out of every 15 shirts you buy?

100% Cotton shirts are the most comfortable imo.

I don't know. I just put it in some times and other times I don't. If you want it to be consistently soft, just use it every time.

some washing machines have a slot where you pour it in, or, you pour it in during the rinse cycle as the rinse water fills up. Usually that's if you have one that loads from the top. If you use ones at a laundromat with the front doors, they should have a slot next to where you put the detergent in.

And if you dont like it, where only 100% Cotton or wear a wife beater

Are you talking about dress shirts for work or dress shirts for going out, clubbing, etc.?
