Hoping to hear from someone who owns these shirts about their experience wearing/washing them.

It was 2010. I was 20. I was in love with Express. I thought that their shirts looked and felt amazing. After a few months though, I started to realize that it was puppy love. The shirts would pucker and ironing only seemed to make them worse. It was probably my fault—I was the bad lover. I didn't really have an option to wash or dry the shirts using cold water and low heat. Maybe I could have saved the relationship, but I decided to ignore my mistakes and pretend that I was never in love. I have never made an Express purchase since.

>> Fast forward to 2018. I was in the market for some new shirts, so I went to J. Crew and Bonobos. From a fit perspective, the stretch fabric dress shirts seem to be the best match for my body. But I'm anxious. There's trauma. I feel like these shirts are the same bad actors. Should I take a risk on them? Can I make the relationship work if I just care for them as directed?

Let me know what you think.

Hi all--I'm looking into buying some nice dress shirt for my birthday. I heard positive things about Bonobos but mostly about chinos. Can anyone speak on the quality and fit of the dress shirts sold?

I'm looking at the Jetsetter shirts because the material stretches. I recently tore through a few dress shirts around my arms and elbow.
