Yes, there are lots of beautiful shirting fabrics available locally, but they all require ironing. I need no-iron (wash & wear) fabric.

I found some 60/40 cotton poly broadcloth in essential white and some light blue. That's good, but I'm looking for more.

Suggestions for online sources?

It's 65 poly/35 cotton, but it's reasonably priced, feels lovely, is easy to care for, and comes in lots and lots of colors. There are many vendors who carry it, so google Imperial Broadcloth to choose one.

Where are we going, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
