Brooks Brothers pioneered the wrinkle-free look with Brooksweave shirts

THERE'S JUST ONE WRINKLE ... Though the technology has improved dramatically, the styling of many iron-free garments leaves something to be desired. Here's a look at a few of the best (and worst) garments we checked out. SHOW YOUR STRIPES Well made in a fairly quiet stripe, so anyone can wear it. All-cotton twill performed great; didn't even need warm-iron touchup. (Nordstrom; $69.59) TIE ONE ON Rather bright and shiny-part of Brooks' bid for younger customers. Billed as stain-resistant, and it is. (Brooks Brothers; $75) NO SLACKER Softened up after washing-nice feel, but needed a warm iron for really smooth look. Color is non-traditional but classy. (Izod; $70) COLOR BLIND Who looks good in this color? We're still searching. Cloth performed very well, but solid colors expose even minor wrinkles, so you may want to press briefly. (Nordstrom; $59.50) TRICK OR TREAT To be worn on the night of Oct. 31 only. At least we assume that's what they were thinking. Water-resistant, as claimed. (Nordstrom; $49.50) PLEAT PLEAS Wash 'em, dry 'em, hang 'em up, and they look just about perfect. Now if only those pleats went the other way and the bottoms had cuffs. (Nordstrom; $45) DIAGRAM: THERE'S JUST ONE WRINKLE … MANO-TECHNOLOGY Brooks Brothers pioneered the wrinkle-free look with Brooksweave shirts in the 1950s. BROOKS' introduction of non-iron shirts in 1953 made the concept respectable, but sales never took off. They were stiff, scratchy, and hot because their key ingredient was Dacron, a marvelous material that's now used in space suits but has no business in terrestrial clothing. The giant leap for mankind had to wait until 1999, when Brooks debuted all-cotton non-iron shirts, which now account for the vast majority of its shirt sales. yanzic0531. www.mltailor.com is a premier online tailor, custom making high fashion event dresses, wonderful and good designed dresses.
