Make Your Logo "Wrinkle-Free"

I woke up this morning before 5:00 a.m.. I couldn't really sleep. When that happens, my mind starts pouring over all of the things that I have to do. But, then I just lay there and don't do anything. It's not very effective. I decided to get up and to start my day, and try to squeeze in a blog post and some extra work. I showered, shaved and got ready. I then grabbed a shirt that I had already worn once before, a Land's End no-iron shirt. However, I had crumpled it onto a shelf in my closet, and the shirt did need ironing.

Parenthetically, I love the Land's End no-iron shirts. They are attractive, they are very durable, and if you hang them up straight out of the dryer, then you really don't need to iron them and they look just as crisp as if they have been professionally laundered and pressed.

Back to my ironing. So anyway, I start ironing this shirt, and I finish the two fronts, the collar the back and one of the sleeves, and then I turn the shirt over to do the final sleeve, and there in orange red glory was the reason I should not have shoved this into my closet in the first place. The last time I wore it, my two-year-old girl had taken a chubby, friendly hand and smeared the sleeve with spaghetti sauce and then smiled up at me with a big sticky grin. Fortunately this shirt has some kind of stain guard on it, but I couldn't wear it today.

Anyway, this little insignificant, but time-wasting experience reminded me how much I love my daughter, but it also got me wondering if American Promotions offers a no-iron shirt. The closest thing I found was this Port Authority Long & Short Sleeve Easy Care/Soil Release Shirt. It is a woven shirt by SanMar. This is a quality shirt, and the price with a corporate embroidered logo is very competitive. It is not truly 'no-iron.' It is wrinkle-resistant.

I do not think that this is quite as dressy or as care-free as the Land's End version, but it is a lot less expensive and gives the promotional apparel buyer a lot of shirt for the money.
