You shouldn't work out odds on horses on the cuffs of nice shirts.<G>

a good shirt that fits right should wear 35 cleanings. some shirts if you love them- you can pay to have cuffs, collars reversed. i grew up with a kid. he was a poor student. he was a good dj for his college radio station. he knew the color of every label. he knew what was on the other side of the record. he knew what bands new band members went to. he knew all honeymooners shows by heart- all dialogue. his father put him into various businesses- basically to sell off inventory of stuff (junk) the father stole. over time, with persistence he would get it sold. he called the stuff, "items". he liked to go to vegas. finally, 25+ years ago he became a broker. he is extremely successful. he specializes in munis and conservative stuff. i have seen him written up a few times. his cousin, was my best friend. his cousin and a few others in his family were very smart. but, the broker is the success. i saw him in an advertorial for a custom shirt place. talked re his style, etc. the article talked re importance of good fit, care- but said shirt is only good for 35 cleanings. also- some finer material doesn't last as long. (when i want to splurge- i buy fine italian shoes- not church- as expensive and don't last- and i don't just wear them when traversing my fine oriental rugs). and he, physically, could easily buy off the rack.
