Have any of you solved the multi-step problem of ironing shirts at home
without switching to substandard materials?

I solved it by not ironing, around 40 years ago. Sure that won't work for you?

I agree- get a life. Even all-cotton shirts are more than presentable if
you hang-dry them and just just gently tug all the wrinkles out while
they are damp. 'Snap' them like a blanket before putting on hanger, and
just smooth out any remaining bumps.

Yep. The trick is to hang them up while they're still a little on the damp
side (modern dryers work wonders). A little misting with a squirt bottle can
help, too.

And while all-poly shirts ARE a sin against nature, the 'mostly cotton'
blends do work well and are quite comfortable. They also hang-dry with
no apparent wrinkles.

60% is good.

Starch? Creases? What year does OP live in? Even rich people and fashion
models don't dress like that any more.

Military, maybe.

Dunno about the full-dress uniforms, but the semi-dress (like they used
to wear in my office before they started wearing camo freaking
everywhere) have been poly-cotton wash'n'wear for years.

The guys I used to see around (mostly ANG or reservists, I suppose) have
creases.

(always wondered- shouldn't camo for office workers look like modular
office furniture or something?)

Good point. ...or maybe a Windows logo. ;-)
