Do they *really* need ironing, or just touching up? Most of DH's work
shirts (so-called permanent press), if they're wrinkled, I'll toss
back into the dryer with a small, damp towel and make sure I take them
out as soon as the dryer's done, if not before. I rarely have to iron
his shirts, unless they're all cotton.

The new dress code is for pressed long sleeve white button down shirts. I'm
stretching it with 3/4 sleeves since those are "fashion" and can be found
cheap. I might try and find one mens long sleeve shirt for days corporate is
going to be around.

I remember going to Lundy's occasionally with my grandparents about 40
or more years ago. My grandfather ate scrod and I don't have the
slightest recollection of what I ate.

Sheepshead Bay, wasn't it?

Yes, it's Sheepshead Bay. I was surprised to learn when I googled it that
someone bought the property and reopened the restaurant, but in a much
smaller version.

I knew that, but didn't want to spoil our memories by telling you. I
often wonder what ever came of my friends who I hung around with in
Brooklyn. I contacted a few, but many are not listed anywhere.

Security is not what I have, it's what I can do without,,,


Why would that spoil anything? Things change and anyway, it's only a
restaurant.

Check out Eddie Bauer. They have wrinkle resistant shirts that are
the BEST. I own at least a half dozen and they never, ever need
ironing. May be a bit more expensive, but believe me, worth every
cent!

Use the RAF ironing technique. Iron the cuffs, the collar and the centre
portion of the front.

More likely the collar, sleeves and back; I'll be wearing a apron over the
front.


I forgot to mention that when I was still wearing light blue shirts we
still had shirts with seperate collars, you could make a shirt last for
a week if you had enough collars. Oh the heady days of being single! But
how I hated those collar studs. When I left the RAF in 1973 there was
talk of the RAF introducing a shirt with the collar already attached to
it...

Sigh - there were stores locally, but they're all gone now... I really need
to try things like that on.

I think I bought one in Lands End. That was some time go, but I imagine
they would still be available there. Do they sell Lands End in your Sears
stores? They do here.

I'm cheap at heart... And I haven't been thrilled with the quality of the
Land's End stuff of late.

I found some lovely long sleeve white shirts at LL Beans' for $$$$ and truly
far too nice for work with wood markers and such

I don't blame you. They were pricey even way back when I bought them to
wear to work.

You probably should try (gasp) Wal-Mart or K-Mart and look for something
that's a poly/cotton mix. They generally need no ironing and hold up fairly
well. Certainly they would be fine for work.

No K-Mart up here, they all became Sears Essentials. I rarely wander into
WalMart any more. Though they always have good prices on the hair care DD
has come to prefer....
