White shirts all look similar in the package. A recent discussion among missionary moms drew 56 comments about shirts, fit, and wrinkles. Plenty of brand recommendations came up, but the most useful question was simpler: what happens after the shirt comes out of its package?
Start with how it moves
A missionary's shirt should feel closer to his favorite athletic shirt than to a stiff dress shirt. Try the Robbins & Brooks Flex shirt with the collar buttoned: reach forward, sit down, and move around. Four-way stretch helps through the body, the expandable collar gives at the neck, and hidden collar buttons keep the points in place. A comfortable shirt should not stop being comfortable when he puts on a tie.
Then think about P-day
Laundry on a mission is not laundry at home. Flex shirts are non-iron, machine washable, and quick drying, so hanging them up works when there is no dryer, and hand washing in a basin is no issue. Care he can manage anywhere in the world matters more than one more brand recommendation.
Check the math before buying multiples
Fit one shirt first, then buy in quantity. The ten-shirt package is $369, compared with $42.90 each, and mixing short and long sleeves in the qualifying package saves $60. These shirts are mission grade, tested to last 100 washes, and backed by our 2-Year Wearproof Guarantee.
For sisters: a dress that simplifies mornings
The Taryn Dress has short sleeves, a midi length, and real pockets in a lightweight fabric. Try it sitting and reaching as well as standing, and check its length against your mission instructions.
