send them to a dry cleaner and they'll come back nearly perfect

 

My go-to for that type of shirt was LL Bean for years because they sell "tall" sizes, until Magellan started making larger sizes that give me the sleeve length I need but at a lower price and the immediacy of picking one up at Academy when I'm there.

I'm seeing the wrinkling thing with the most recent Magellan shirt I bought. It kind of looks intentional, though.

Either way, you might check out LL Bean online. They have a very liberal return policy and they have pretty wide availability, though right now they are suffering some of the same supply chain issues as everyone else - their product is made in Asian countries. On top of being better made than Magellan & Columbia, they also come with PSF rated fabric.

 

try aftco clothing products-years of use and nothing but good things to say

 

I hang mine to dry as soon as they are done washing and dont have issues with wrinkles. Game Guard is the most wrinkle free that I have found.

 

Hey Gofish2day, no matter how wrinkle free you get ‘em, they ain’t kosher for the upcoming nuptials. Just sayin’.

 

No fabric softener. Just put my balls in the dryer and remove before they get completely dry and hangup. Worldwide from bps was good but I think the ones I was getting are discontinued now. Go figure.

 

Never a good idea to put your balls in the dryer.

 

At first I thought he was getting wrinkles out of his balls also

 

The fishing ones I don't really care about. The short sleeve ones I wear on the weekends, I would like not wrinkled.

 

Hire you a cute little Oriental girl, to come in on the side, and press your shirts... the wife, won't mind. ...

 

Don't stuff your dryer with so much stuff... they need room to fluff.

 

Two shirts in a dryer alone is not stuffed. Like the shirts, am growing weary of ironing them.

 

Yeh it is heck when my balls drop and you have to pick them up. Sometimes I use 3 of the wool balls and if the shirts are cotton I let them dry and hang up before they cool down. The nylon/synthetic fishing shirts I take out before they are 100 % dry. The balls don't usually get all the static out of these but it goes away after you hang up the shirt. I put all my shirts including t shirts on a hangar immediately after they dry. The balls work really good on towels. Towels will soak up fabric softener and not soak up as much water later on. With the balls the towels will soak up water just like they are new.

 

Had the same issue with mine at first. If you haven’t already, find the wash instructions on the shirt tag. All of mine have to be washed in cold water in a gentle cycle, with no softeners. Then dried on low heat. I generally try to take them out when they are little damp and let them hang dry.

This doesn’t really help with shirts you have but all the shirts I buy are the Academy Arkansas Pass version of Magellan fishing shirts. They have the hidden button collar and buttons instead of Velcro on the packets. I’m not sure of the material difference but they don’t wrinkle.

Yeah, I have one of those and have found them to be wrinkle free

 

These shirts are maybe 4-5 years old and - ONE DAY - they just decided to wrinkle. Cannot get them un-wrinkled.
Even tried a steamer yesterday. That did not work at all.

 

i've never had this problem with the fishing shirts, aren't they like a wrinkle free material?

 

C hook - first time I have had this problem. Seems it happened to all of them and diff brands. I think my wife messed them up and won't own up to it. BUT, i wash my own cloths.

 

If fabric softener is to blame, then all of mine would be wrinkled. For me it's only one of my 7 or 8 active fishing shirts.

 

I found that if you forget to change the dryer setting to low and blast them with a high heat setting, it really makes them wrinkled.

 

Dryer Balls!
I just ordered 3 for less than $5. Do you put them in with the wash or just in the dryer?

 

Put them in the dryer. You will drop one of your balls when getting the clothes out if you ain't careful. LOL !!! Another reason I use the balls is to help out with my septic system. They say the fabric softener is bad for a conventional system over a long period of time. They seem to work on almost all of my clothes and cuts down on buying softener. I was also told the lower priced ones do not do as good as the premium sheep wool balls. I don't know which is best. I bought the premium ones and satisfied. Maybe someone can let us know which is best. I have not bought softener in 3 or 4 years. Maybe longer.

 

I got the non-wool balls as well. Always thought my dryer could do a little better job, and this may be the answer.
Appreciate the newfound knowledge!

 

Cleaners get wrinkles out of all my microfiber shirts. That’s all I wear for work.

 

Can't afford to send my shirts to cleaners everytime I wear one. That is why I bought wife a washing machine and dryer

 

Its Putin's fault.

 

best advice, Go fish Dont worry , wear a proper shirt to church, fish in wrinkled shirts

 

In my opinion, some of the things need to be focused. For example, whether the fabric is wrinkle free or not, what the care instructions say, and what the extra care instructions say.

 

Sense the post was revived. I Figured it out!
Drying too hot. Was drying on low then hot for a bit.
Just keep on low.
Married for 36 years and something about 10 or 12 years ago she stopped washing my clothes. But I fish every weekend almost and she ways nothing but have a good time.
I also cook about 95% of the time. She cleans up afterwards. Think I got the best deal.

 

I love to cook. Hate the cleaning though.
