Default Uniform shirt.

I've been using a cheaper M and H brand shirt for the last few years..until recently I purchased a Van Heusen Pilot SS tapered shirt. After I washed it for the first time the shirt "pilled" up or got all wrinked around the edges where the buttons are, etc....is there a shirt that doesn't do this after you wash it once??? I've had pretty good luck with these M and H branded shirts but they are way too baggy..and I like the shape of this tapered Van Heusen. Any advice would be helpful.

Jetstream Pilot Shirt Short Sleeve Product

Pretty much stain proof, no iron, hang it up the night before.

Oh, yeah, they're tapered. Don't fit like a tent.

That's odd...I use nothing but Van Heusens and haven't had any problems with them. Might depend which VH shirt you use?

I've been using Van Heusen's too and never had any issues. I wash them in cold water, air-dry and throw in the dryer to unwrinkle. Maybe you got a lemon?

I second this - A Cut Above pilot shirts - I'm sure you can Google it and find the website. I just got 3 - nice tapered shirts with a soft collar liner that keeps your neck cool.

I don't like what some companies consider a tapered shirt - I still have a double-handful of shirt material to try to tuck in.

I like A cut above tapered shirts but they are often out of stock in my size so I go with pilotshirts.com sometimes, both are good.

Pilot shirt and pilot uniform manufacturer, buy direct. are by far the best. I swear by them, you can't get a better fit or material. use code 112468 to get a discount.
