Non Iron Shirts

Former Member

What a load of rubbish.

Former Member

They're just not nice :no:

Former Member

The ones that you don't need to iron, or the crinkly ones? Is there crinkly ones for guys?

Supposedly. Surely it's against some sort of trade descriptions law?

Former Member

If it's just out of the wash, non iron you're after .... just hang the shirt up and it won't crease.

although yes, those non-iron shirts are a shit for packing, unpacking, and seeing tonnes of creases.

Yes, hang up the shirts nicely to dry.

I never iron (including Dave's shirts). I am normally really careful about how I hang the washing up so I don't need to iron!

Lazy



... same as me

:chin:

Not the same as a crisp ironed shirt though. I have high standards.

Ironing is my least favourite chore. So yes. I will do all I can to avoid it. I know all the tactics

Former Member

True, true

I only do that if I know I'm in a board meeting or interview / review etc

I have easy-iron shirts from Marks and Spencer and they are fine.

I do need to iron them though. God, I hate that job.

Bit of both - get you sweating in the kitchen
Or the bedroom - hmm, or the living room or lounge - wherever you wanna get steamy with that large, hot tool

This is my point.

Actually, that's not true.

When she's a housewife she'll do it, she's said so. Until then, the words are, in order, "fuck"and "off".

Poor me:(

Former Member

I've always found the words 'Non Iron' actually mean 'Less Iron' which is a bonus though not really what you want.

Even rather expencive non-iron shirts are really non-iron, you have to crisp them up a bit.

Out of interest, how long does it take you to iron an ordinary work shirt?

I work on about 6 or 7 mins a shirt to get a very crisp result.

I spend less and less time as I work through the pile until I crack and turn the iron off. The most I've ever done is about 20 shirts and T shirts and a few pairs of trousers. I really hate ironing.

About 3-4 mins per shirt is enough usually. I'm not very particular about the sleeves or cuffs cos they're creased by the time you get to work anyway.

I don't see the point of doing lots of ironing, I iron as I wear.

Ill only iron something if its REALLY REALLY creased or its uniform.

:yes:

i hang or fold to avoid ironing as much as i can. if i get something out to wear and it looks a bit creased, i just iron it then and there. it's really nice getting into freshly ironed clothes in the winter.

Former Member

Well some of us have important jobs where we need to look professional, so we have to iron.

Former Member

if you were that important, you'd have someone to do your ironing for you.

or you would wear robes.

also needing to iron doesn't stop you from ironing as you wear.

Yus i end up doing this most of the time, although i think it has something to do with me being lazy.

Me too! I'd love o be able to go to my wardrobe and pull something out neatly ironed but I have that much stuff and i try that many things on that it would be pointless!

I like that idea...

But seriously, iron-as-you-go is so depressing don't you think? Waking up every morning and ironing 1 shirt. I just do a load on a Sunday evening and it lasts me the week. :yes:
