Instead of buying new shirts every year, why not just buy some decent ones from M&S and send them over? They will last a lot longer than a year and will end this perennial hunt for something decent without paying silly money.

It may cost you more this year, but next year it will be free and the year after that if you look after them.

Agree with Doc. I only buy good cotton shirts now, they still good after years of washing and comfortable to wear. Tried few cheap polyester ones, wore twice, I sweated in it, was not comfortable to wear.

A good soak in a solution of Vanish once in a while will also keep whites white.

It is a pain not being able to stock up on M&S while in Bangkok or HCMC
