Basically the gentleman had spent quite a bit of money on a very nice dress shirt and was wondering how often he should wash it and also how he should wash it.
It seems like a simple question, but once you start spending good money on clothing you start to worry:

For any good quality dress shirts, the perfect wash is in cold water (except white shirts, on warm), liquid soap (Tide or something like that), on delicate cycle and never put them in the dryer. On a hanger and in about 1 day, it is dry. A front load washer will also help as Antonio says (newer washing system). Only need to iron them and it will be perfect. I have 10 bespoke shirts and even after a month to 3 years, they have not lost their colors or shape. Sweat stains can be removed with Oxy Clean or anything like that (Antonio says it!!)

What about drying ? Is a dryer to aggressive ? Should we use low heat ? Or just let it hang somewhere ? Thank you for your videos.

Great tips, I'm an insurance agent and always like to dress well. I also was thinking the same on how often to wash my dress shirts, I was afraid of ruining the fabric too quickly on my expensive shirts. Thank you for the video.

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Gerard Arellano great to hear!

@solomidplz 9 лет назад

Is there a way to prevent the shirt from shrinking a little when washing it? I wash my shirts in 40 degrees celcius (104 degrees fahrenheit) and if the shirt is new, it shrinks maybe 1 cm on the length. Should I wash it in as low temperature as possible?

@ezioauditore2188 9 лет назад

Hi, Can you tell me how to keep my shirt collar clean? I seem to always have a dirt ring around my dress shirt collars

@gammondog 9 лет назад

Those front loaded washing machines are a godsend. My clothes last much longer since I got one and I will not go back to the top loaders. Having said that I have noticed that sometimes the sleeves of a shirt or jacket can still get tightly twisted, so I would use the laundry bag on an expensive item.

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

William Albert you got it

@Flukey_1970 6 лет назад

Good advice. I think it also depends on the person. Some people are more prone than others to sweating etc.

@helloriker 9 лет назад

Nice video. Never thought about using laundry bags before but it makes sense. Typically for my really nice shirts I will do spot cleaning or take it to the cleaners when it needs more then a spot clean. They only charge a dollar per shirt usually and then I don't have to worry about it.

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Steven Butler Yeah - the laundry bag is a small things that will save you big tears (had one of my shirts shredded in our old washer!)

What is the best way to keep white dress shirts clean?

@stkwok1985 9 лет назад

thanks for your advise, but i am a bit confuse should we wear undershirt while wearing dress shirt. Since i read from some style advise that better not wear undershirt,

@SquareViking 7 лет назад

Wear an undershirt, this goes doubly if you're wearing white! Why? Antonio touches on this in a later video, but you shield from sweat-stains (mentioned here) and you keep your skin-colour from popping through the white AND your nipples from showing.

@annalign6481 9 лет назад

Is your jackets chest pocket on the right side? I have never seen that before. I'm assuming it's custom but why did you decide to have it made that way?

@benpham1457 8 лет назад

Hey Antonio, I heard that you're leaving to another country. Will you continue to post more videos when you are there? How many videos per week? I need to know man. I REALLY like your channel and I could hardly go another day without it.

@brijeshsinghadhikari6559 8 лет назад

sir please make a video.atleast which type of shirts any engineering student should keep??

@BuffaloGP 9 лет назад

i've already given a chance to the undershirt's before... but i didn't get used to them. Now that the weather is getting cold in my country it's time to try again.

@prosperjuniorr9276 9 лет назад

I love your videos sir and yes I understand you should wash your dress shirts only when they are dirty but what if they are not dirty but you can still smell the cologne you was wearing last

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

@vectorm4 9 лет назад

What would you say, or advise, about rolling up sleeves on a dress shirt? I have a compulsive habit to roll up my sleeves to the mid-fore arm area. Is that hard on the elbow fabric?

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

vectorm4 Keep your sleeve roll below your elbow - this looks better and draws the focus to your forearms vs. your 10 inch biceps. Forearms are normally closer to an average size than biceps - which vary greatly. Read more here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/rolled-up-shirt-sleeves/

@kickazz1234 9 лет назад

Hi Antonio, I have a question about Poplin shirts and how to keep them looking new because with each wash it looks a bit older with the collars being whiter ( may have been from the ironing). Please let me know, thank you.

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

kickazz1234 Poplin has a faint dimpled texture that comes from using two different sizes of threads in the weave. The dimples make tiny air pockets, making the garment much more breathable and faster-drying than a flat weave.

@AbovetheanklesCoUk1 9 лет назад

the jacket pocket being on the other side is really confusing, don't think i can get used to seeing a pocket square on that side.

@RyahBernell 9 лет назад

Hey Antonio, great videos man! But What about dry cleaning?

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Ryah Bernell thanks for the video suggestion - added it to my list

@zek686jes 9 лет назад

Question: How dry cleaning affect a dress shirt (or any other nice garments)? Because, it is what I usually do with dress shits. I gave up detergents and machine washables a while ago.

@benfranklin3638 2 года назад

@5:30 - Center agitator washing machines are not bad for shirts....as long as they are high quality and maintained. What are bad for shirts....and all clothes in general....are top loading high-efficiency washers. With an agitator or front loader, the clothes are cleaned by agitation or the movement of water...with a top loading HE the clothes are cleaned by rubbing the clothes against other clothes...that's what the come out so mangled and wrinkled from top loading HE washers...also they spin the clothes too much for non-iron dress shirts.

@renochamp2006 9 лет назад

I have a question, do you dress up every day? Like do you ever just wear jeans and a t shirt?

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Reno Williams Dressing “sharp” does not mean dressing in a suit - it means sending the right signal with your appearance. I’m a custom clothier who owns an information site about style - if I wore a t-shirt and jeans I would create a disconnect with my brand. :)

@huberfloover 8 лет назад

I wonder about the science behind this. Most of us know how bacteria grow exponentially with time, especially after coming into contact with human skin. What kind of effect that bacteria would have on the shirt I don't know, but it would be interesting to find out.

@MrTheOldWasp 9 лет назад

Antonio, would you ever suggest dry-cleaning your dress shirt or is this unnecessary?

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

***** Stains that require quick attention such as mustard or red wine, especially on light colored or silk fabrics, should be taken to the cleaners the next morning. Read more here: www.artofmanliness.com/2009/11/05/dry_cleaning_guide/

@julianpark93 9 лет назад

I think something that should be noted is that shirts should be washed by hand rather than by the machine (and of course, air dried naturally and ironed with the correct temperature).

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Julian Park makes sense!

@1755ottoman 9 лет назад

Bro. what's the company other than wool & prince making wool dress shirts that have high endurance? Can't remember which video you mentioned them. Name Starts with an "L"?

@jdhsingi 9 лет назад

What is the effect on the life of a dress shirt of having it dry cleaned as opposed to washing in the traditional manner? Thanks, Jim

@RealMenRealStyle 9 лет назад

Jim D Depends on the cleaner - I count them as the same and don't expect more than 70-100 washes this way at most.

@LindySk8er 9 лет назад

Jim D Dry cleaning solution is less corrosive than water, but sweat stains are water soluble. You must also consider the fabric and how your cleaning solution will affect it.

@numbat0072 8 лет назад

+Jim D dry cleaning doesn't remove the odour / bacteria , that's why socks, underwear , shirts etc are laundered .

@ChristopherSajdak 7 лет назад

Or just do it like they did in the 19th century: wear shirts with detachable collars and cuffs. Since I transitioned from attached collar shirts to collarless ones, I went from washing them every day to once a week. I just swap the collar and cuffs everyday, and at the end of the week wash everything together with my shirts.

@nathanaelwinters2952 8 лет назад

Oooooh, so THAT'S the point of an undershirt! How do you survive with so much clothes on? Don't you overheat like mad, especially in summer? oO

@RealMenRealStyle 8 лет назад

+Nate Snow When you wear breathable and lightweight fabrics, you can survive the hot weather/

@nathanaelwinters2952 8 лет назад

I only wear a tshirt and leatherjacket/wool-sweater in winter, so alot of layers seems like it'd be superhot. (From what my american friend says, we have about Alaska weather and temperatures here.) But I'll try and remember that. I do like some of the layered looks.

@oreosaysb00 5 лет назад

@Beefypvp 9 лет назад

Love your videos Antonio, but please get to the point quickly. You take 1 min 32 sec to start to address the question. It's unreasonable to expect people browsing the internet to have long attention spans. Don't mean to be rude - I just want the best for you and you seem someone who'd take constructive criticism well.
