Men's smart work shirts (easy/non-iron)

Hello!

I'm trying to find a decent supplier of men's smart work shirts, I used to get them from Next but they've changed their range recently. The main stipulation is that they need to have sizes with extra-long sleeves (about 1.5 inches longer than standard). The criteria I'm looking to match are as follows;

1) 'Extra long' sleeves sizing option
2) Double cuff (for cuff links)
3) Easy-iron or non-iron fabric
4) Cut away collar (or half-cut away is fine)

I know that I'll be lucky to find any that meet all these requirements, but if I can cover most of them that's good enough for me! :D

Please help as my existing shirts are looking increasingly shabby, and I'm at a loss as to where to get some new ones!

    I think I would be happy to find non-iron:rolleyes: ;)
  • There's plenty of non-iron shirts available, a quick search on the net will reveal these.

    Unfortunately if the sleeves are half-way up my arms, the impact of a crisply ironed shirt is rendered somewhat obsolete.

    I've found companies that sell double-cuff, cut away collar, extra-long sleeve shirts, but they are all pure cotton and a pain in the @rse to iron.
  • Have you tried Hawes & Curtis, Charles Tyrwhitt and the like? A bit more expensive but they frequently have deals on so it's a case of pickiing and choosing when to buy

  • Yeah these are pretty good, pure cotton though so they crease up easily.

    I guess I should just be a bit less fussy!
