(Inspired by this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-products/1358820-best-travel-dress-shirts.html))

I'm a polo & t-shirt guy. I've tried folders, rolling, or hanging items in the bathroom while taking a shower. These all seem to work better for some items than others. But there are times where I still end up looking like I slept in the shirt (and except when I'm in Vegas, I don't :)).

Anyone have personal recommendations on casual/business casual shirts that travel well and remain relatively wrinkle free?

I like the tommy Bahama silk camp shirts. Seem to do well for me.

I lucked into a North Face polo shirt on sale a while back and usually wear it as it's light, doesn't easily wrinkle, washes and dries fast and goes with just about any pair of pants I take with me. A very versatile shirt. ^

I suppose it depends on "casual" and where you want to wear the shirts, but for travel in warm/humid climates, my husband loves fishing shirts - Columbia makes them, you can get them at Sierra Trading Post, REI, Cabelas etc. Wicking fabric, lots of pockets, vents in the back, and they don't wrinkle too much (any wrinkles fall out quickly in a steamy bathroom or in humidity....)

I got him a couple of these for his birthday recently and he loves them: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/redington-gasparilla-dri-block-fishing-shirt-upf-30-plus--short-sleeve-for-men~p~1996d/?filterString=s~fishing-shirt%2F&colorFamily=07

He has some of the Columbia long sleeve versions, and a short sleeve from Gander mountain.

I should note, my husband really doesn't like a polo/golf shirt with knit collar. Prefers a silk Tommy Bahama, but for more casual (hiking, day trips etc) the fishing shirts are hardier and more practical....

ooh--good one.. I change my vote. I have a couple of North Face shirts (and pants) that are fantastic.

While I'm not a big fan of their suits, I really like the Jos A Bank Traveler Collection polos. You would have to work really hard to wrinkle them. If you are buying the ones that aren't the tailored-fit, they run a tiny-bit large (so if you are between sizes go with the smaller one).

I think I may have a new favorite as I stopped by a local Adidas outlet and they have a whole rack of ClimaCool golf polo shirts on sale for $20 each. They are really lightweight, work well in warmer climates and are a steal of a deal at that price which is almost a third of what they normally sell for.

The bonus was the shirt actually fit which items on the clearence rack rarely do for me. :D

Uniqlo is a great shop for polos and casual shirts. Link to their site here. (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/campaign/men/polo/index.html) I have about a dozen of the Dry Pique Polo Shirts that I wear for work. They fit my body style well, are comfortable, dry quickly, and have a nice textured material that is pretty durable. In fact, I am wearing one of their shirts right now!
