Please, please, please, QVC, introduce 100% cotton shirts that are truly no-iron aka Foxcroft, Lands End, etc. I've never understood why you don't have them as I'm sure they'd be extremely popular.

Re: No-iron100% Cotton Shirts

[ Edited ]

@Island Gal.  Years and years ago, like the 1960s, there was a product I bought at the grocery store called something like "Wrinkle Free", in a quart bottle.  With it you could treat your own cottons through a process of soaking, drying, ironing that made them truly wrinkle free.

 

I had many cotton dresses and blouses and used a lot of it.  Then it disappeared, never to be seen again.

 

Seems like it was tested and was found to be a carcingen.  I've been leery of such finishes ever since.

 

Now I'd be happy to just see some 60% cotton, 40% poly blends.

I remember some of those "original" wash & wear finishes on cottons.  They "smelled funny"...     di

@Desertdi. I don't remember the stuff I bought having any odor.  It looked like skim milk.  Sure worked well.

I wore those and LLBean no-iron 100% cotton shirts all the time before I retired. I can't tell you how many times I heard that they looked freshly pressed at the end of a day. I washed them, threw them in the dryer for 3 minutes and hung to dry.

 

Lands End has a 50% off promo going right now. LLBean's promo just ended yesterday. 

 

My guess is Q would charge even more than the other stores for quality no-iron cotton shirts, especially with other's promo codes.
