I mentioned in my first post that I had been a Mark's customer for 10 years and only took advantage of their return policy twice before that. Infact, you've got guys here referencing boot rental without so much of a snear in their direction, but I digress.
One of those dress shirts I buy is usually worn once a week, every week. Am I completely delusional expecting that it is going to last longer than that? Maybe. But I know that since I have bought a lot of their never irons, I've had a ton last longer than that. Ones that have stood up 2 years that are still in my closet + and I've also got some Eddie Bauers that do to the job as well, which have been washed in the hundreds of times.

Are you hang drying the shirts because that will increase the life dramatically. You are shopping at Marks Work Wearhouse as well, I don't know what types of shirts you were expecting to find there, but high quality dress shirts wouldn't be at the top of my list. You get what you pay for and the shirts that you get at those types of retailers are those that I would expect to last for 4-6 months of constant use.
