for example, would taking it to the cleaners extend the life of the shirt more than machine washing them?

Answer:
Good questions, actually, dry cleaning your non-iron shirt will not help sustain longevity, but destroy the properties that make this a wrinkle free product. Machine washing is the best care option available for your shirt.

Answer:
These shirts are hard to shrink and yes a dryer can be used on low heat and for a short amount of time, removing them when they are slightly damp. But, I recommend you wash them in cold water and then hang to dry.

Answer:
I've washed and dried these shirts for years with very little shrinkage. Just dry them on a moderate heat setting and take out when your dryer buzzes. Hang them up, button the top collar and hand shape the front placket . These shirts will last at least 52 washings but the trick is to have many of these shirts to alter the wash cycle. Some of mine have lasted for three years. And don't forget to take out those collar stays.

Answer:
The dryer should not shrink it, however I prefer to just let mine hang dry and then quickly iron before wearing. I've found this is best way to get the crispness as if it were straight from the dry cleaners.

Hello,
Non-iron shirts should only be in the dryer a minimum of 15 minutes with a low heat setting. Shrinkage is not an issue with Non-iron shirts.

Answers
Answer:
Hello, thank you for your inquiry. Supima cotton is a bit softer and has a greater luster than all-cotton. In addition, Supima retains color better than most cotton blends. If you prefer your shirts to be thinner, we would recommend that you select one of our Supima cotton dress shirts, most of which are non-iron and require minimal care.
We do hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,
Brooks Brothers

Answer:
I believe the pocket on left chest is a standard for both shirts and blazers/jackets. The only time I've had a pocket on the right is when the shirt had pockets on both sides. I'm sure if you are getting shirts custom made for you though your tailor will put the pocket on your right chest.

Answer:
I've shopped at BB for years. They would probably think it was an odd request to move the pocket. They might suggest you have your shirts custom made ... The sales folks and taylors will want to make you happy, but I still don't think they'll think that moving the pocket is a good idea. It might destroy the shirt.
