Oxford Style Travel Shirt

Any suggestions for a button-down oxford style men's shirt that is both wrinkle resistant and dries quickly after sink washing?

(I tried searching but got no responses.)

You might check Land's End. It will need to be a blend (65% cotton, 35% polyester) to dry quickly. Check your local department stores (Macy's, Kohl's, etc).

They dry overnight, breathe like cotton, are wrinkle resistant, wick moisture away from your body, have an antimicrobial finish, etc. The CoolMax portion of the fabric is probably the key. These shirts are a little on the expensive side, but mine still look new after three years of European travel. Combine with an inflatable hanger for perfectly dry shirts each morning.

Here's my pack list:

If you click on the item, it shows where you can buy it (or could three months ago).

I like sierra trading post and cabela's a lot but I shop all of the sites for good sales.

Shopping department stores also works but you have to read the labels on a lot of shirts to find the right fabrics. I have some great ones from Macy's and Nordstrom Rack made of silk, modal, tencil, and other polyesters. They hand launder well and are comfortable. Some polyesters are more comfortable than others, be sure to try them on before you buy.

My husband loves the sunwash chambray shirt from L.L. Bean but it may not be what you are looking for. Doesn't wrinkle, needs no ironing and he loves the pockets with button tab for storing money, CC, etc. This works especially well in cooler weather with sweater/sweatshirt over--money secure & easy access to it.
