The proper way to iron a shirt at my house is to spray it with water and put it in the dryer alone for few minutes. Kind of a time out for the misbehaving shirt. That unusually modifies his behavior. If not, then it goes to Goodwill, which is kind of like threatening to put him up for adoption. Everything I know about raising well-behaved clothes I learned from my own parents.
I saw one of these with older women talking about how to iron shirts.
I learned ironing in college ROTC. I can even do Sergeant creases. But, for a $1.29 a shirt, I'll allow someone else to iron my shirts, because they also wash and hang them for me.
The best part of an ironed shirt is the starch that keeps it looking good. Back when I could afford it -- and had 100% cotton shirts, I'd pay to have them laundered and pressed, and I really liked the look and feel of it, especially at the end of the day and it still looked pretty good.
So happy that I can add an element of happiness to the lives of others. As you can tell by my ready access to these videos, I live quite the raucous life.
Well, I have an excellent recommendation from my FP.
I knew a nurse once whose friends had horses, which sometimes need botox for muscles problems. She and her friends would have botox parties. (I can't recall if the nurse I knew participated, or just knew of.)
Brits are indeed awesome fucking dressers. Not all, but a much higher proportion - especially young male professionals in the financial sector. Sharp as hell. I found a bunch of awesome clothiers while I was there - it was probably along Jermyn Street. Anyway, you won't always find the best prices but my favorite corporate shirt-sellers ended up becoming Charles Tyrwhitt and T.M. Lewin. You will find shirts from those guys that put what any American company will make to shame. Absolute shame.

Blogger ate your video link?
Fixed.

Proper ironing of a shirt by a modern metro-sexual of the highest order.

Wheres is iron?
At ChipA's chest.
Tough crowd.
Was it Eve's idea to name it iron?
I already ironed like in the first video (can't see the second cuz shockwave exploded or sumpin), but I did not know the 'collar button trick'.
Saved me 30 seconds at least!
Now let's talk pants ironing.
The video would shoe me dropping it off to my Korean lady's shop and saying, "no starch."
The only times I iron my good shirt is in a hotel room. I barely have 3 minutes. My sleeves never lay flat like that.
But being British, you know this guy has all day to iron. His cohorts do the cooking and dusting and gardening.

Thank, Haz! I did not know that leading with the tip was what caused ridge wrinkles.
And here I thought ridge wrinkles were just normal aging.
Hey Father, preaching in a chasuble kind of removes the need for starch, doesn't it?
Pogo, if you mean brow furrow, it is for me...do you think botox is relatively safe?
And yes, pants are the real bitch. I have trouble making the creases not go double, so that there's two lines running close together.
Added! How to press trousers. See top of thread.
Thanks, Haz :)
Yes, botox is relatively safe.
I have some concern when people learn how to use it in a weekend conference and then start shooting it everywhere though.
Inexperience and unwarranted confidence aren't limited to medicine, but are more dangerous there.
I'd stick with well-trained folks at first, and then branch out. Then you have some idea who to trust.
Wow, Haz, asked and answered!
Ohhhhh....you need to match the top seams, too. And you need a banger.

Cabin fever...it ain't pretty ;)
How to press a dicky would be helpful for Sixty.

Heh. Yes it does.
