Just about to start regullar 6 mile commute to work. I am expected to wear shirt and tie. As a fat knacker I can't cycle in my work gear for that distance I'll be in a muck sweat when I get there! Plan is to cycle in and shower at work. But how do I transport my shirt so it doesn't look like a crumpled tissue when I put it on? Your experience/advice would be appreciated! I did think of using vacuum pack type bags but not sure if it would work os if they made then small enough? Cheers, Al

there's a shirt box you can buy, it's like a hardshell case for a shirt, seen in the Cycling weekly a few weeks ago......or just drive in one day with an array of shirts for the week

This.
I drop 5 ironed shirts, clean trousers and fresh towel sometime over the weekend. If i have needed to transport shirts rolling was generally better but they always look creased.

How about keeping an iron or a travel iron at work? You don't need an ironing board a stiff towel on a flat surface will do.

Just fold them normally and transport inside a plastic bag. When you take them out, there may be some small creases but after you've worn one for a short time you body heat will help to get rid of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's a 5 day working week, simply wear 7 shirts as you cycle. Probably only the two nearest your body will get sweaty, leaving you 5 relatively crease-free and fragrant workaday clothing items.

Either, when I have to drive I take them in or my Wife does. Along with underwear. I have a spare pair of shoes also in the office.
If you are like me and own a LOT of shirts, you can leave loads at the office.

People always mention Eagle Creek in these discussions. Another possibility is bring in 7 shirts, and find a dry cleaner that does a wash, iron, fold service near work and use that instead of bringing them home. Some places near us do it 6 for £5, which at my rate of ironing means I'd save money.

You don't need any messing like get someone to drive them in and stuff.
Just fold it with your undies, place in plastic bag, roll or fold again if needed, and put in pannier or rucksack. Dead simple. I do this every day. Trousers can go in and out each week and you can leave a suit jacket at work if need be.
I also travel to sites and ned shirt tie. Works fine.
