the 15% doesn't combine with the 25% to the best of my knowledge. But the Gift Card does combine with the 25% off, as Brooks Brothers considers gift card as a form of payment.
bottom line whats the best price you can get on the shirts?

The people I know who have Paul Fredrick shirts love them. And in my opinion, they look great.

I've been using 100% cotton non-irons from a company called Eagle. I think they're amazing, and definitely much better than the Jos a bank ones I got recently. I've been washing and using them for a while with no sign of wear and tear. When I first started buying them there was a guarantee on every shirt that said "if this isn't the best damn shirt you've ever worn, return it for a full refund". It doesn't say that anymore on the shirts, but a worker at Macy's told me that since Lands End started guaranteeing everything, they started to do it too, and I've returned pants and shirts after wearing them for a while cuz I didn't like the quality and they took it back without a problem. Either way, back to my point, Eagle shirts are awesome and if you use the right coupons and your macys card at the right time you can get them for between $25-$30 a shirt.

lands end shirts are good, especially if you can get them for $20 once in a while. but they dont look as good as the bb imho

I don't think the Land's End ones are as good as Brooks Brothers, but I'd say they're on par with the Paul Fredrick ones.

But LE is a great brand, and their return policy is stellar.

There free monogram always just looked like bait-to get you to go PF instead of BB,LE.

I owned a bunch of lands end shirts, and didn't last me anywhere as long as my eagle shirts did. On top of that the quality of the eagle shirts are much better and they look much nicer. My lands end shirts also always had issues with the collar even with collar stays.
Has anyone else out there ever tried Eagle? I'm telling you they're great. I never Tried BB so I can't compare to those, but they're definitely better than the Jos a Bank

i've tried lands end, jos bank and BB. IME they all fray much faster than regular (iron) shirts but i think BB hands-down looks the best esp. the luxury.
FYI i reead somewhere that drying non-iron shirts with fabric softener removes the treatment which makes it non-iron

Ive been told as well that dry cleaning non-irons removes the treatment too. So its either only dry clean or only wash

Simple...you only have no-irons and you didnt realize you are out of shirts and have to go to a wedding or something...you take it to the cleaners and get it cleaned real fast. When i say dry cleaning, i mean taking it to the dry cleaners and having it laundered there using whatever it is they use there.

the dry clean reference threw me off.
