The only thing I don't like about the shirt is that it comes out wrinkled and I have a tough time getting those wrinkles out.
I know what you are saying BktBallRef...I am also very disappointed in OC's "shipping" charge fiasco! The policy seems to change day-to-day....which is very frustrating! When I got my shirts a couple of years ago, I believe OC was just a smaller business dedicated to providing quality products and service. Shipping was consistant and reasonable. Now, I believe OC has retained a "fulfillment" house type operation and drop ships their stuff. More overhead and less "personal touch" to your orders. The rub comes when they charge you for FedEx ground charges and turn around and use cheaper USPO service. I know ahead of time of the FedEx charge and accept that when ordering....it's dishonost to then use a cheaper service without my knowledge, after the fact, and not pass along the savings to the customer. It's simply "Bait & Switch". (Make the profit off your product, NOT the shipping charges!) Not only that, OC recently added another charge..."Handling".

I wish Paul at OC would revert back to his previous good service and personal attention to Officials. I know that I wouldn't have to think of doing business with anyone else if OC would do this!

Back to the "wrinkled" shirt problem....with the OC, after I wash the shirt, I remove it from the washer, give it a good shake and throw it into the dryer and let it dry for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat. Then remove it from the dryer and hang dry it. The shirt is still a bit damp, but the warm air from the dryer seems to take the wrinkles out prior to hanging. This works for my OC's. Good luck!

I will order a Honig "ProSofter" and see if there's any comparable differences!

Happy New Year....and "BEAR DOWN" Chicago Bears!
