Ironing T Shirts

[Geri]

It depends on the material, really. Cotton ones almost always need ironing, whereas cotton & lycra generally don't.

I don't have a tumble dryer though - I found when I used to go the launderette, nothing ever needed ironing after being tumble dried.

I iron everything









it kills the lice

My partner (soon to be ex partner at this rate) has just described me as scruffy. When I reacted badly to this, she offered as an example the fact that I don't iron my t-shirts.

Who the fuck irons their t-shirts?

Weirdos and ne'er do wells, that's who.

Ah, those long nights spent with a hot smoothing iron and a razor blade!

 

[HeroineSheep]

I reckon it's time to resurrect the crumpled look. I hate ironing my work shirts and keep hoping that no one will notice if I don't.

@SS: you really need to get out more. Or you can come round and do my ironing

 

[bi0boy]

Weirdos and ne'er do wells, that's who.

Do you iron your socks as well

 

[LM17]

I do that too.

I'm with moomoo. Unironed jeans look a bit rubbish, though I would never go as far as to iron proper creases into my jeans. My auntie put creases into my cords once, they looked

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I iron them if people are going to see them but if they're under a jumper I don't

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I iron everything, t shirts, boxer shorts, t towels, even flannels and bathtowels.

my friend does that AND she even irons her dishcloths

 

[bluestreak]

Mental.

Fact.


I once went out with a girl who insisted on ironing everything. It was tragic. I'm basically a crumpled kind of guy and to see her go to all that boring boring work just for me to look slightly less crumpled was, well, quite funny actually. but there you go. *wanders off*

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I don't iron anything, so no.

If I did iron things I still wouldn't do T-shirts though.

I iron my t-shirts but I only have two so it's no big deal. I don't like ironing and iron as little as possible so although I iron my T-shirts I don't iron, jeans, bedding, towels, underwear, daywear if I can get away with it. I only iron anything that looks bad with a lot of creases

 

[izz]

surely t-shirts drop their creases after you've worn them for a bit anyway

there is some ironing done by the Ironing Fairy in our house but not a heckuva lot, only proper shirts and trousis.

I think the OP's partner should embrace their inner scruff. t'is most liberating.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Do you iron your socks as well

I don't believe in ironing, unless I'm wearing a whistle, in which case I press the suit and iron the shirt, but jeans, tees, underwear, socks, bedding, towels. No fucking way!

 

[ajk]

My mate Dave's nan irons his socks.

Anal retentives iron their t shirts.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Ironing tee shirts should be considered alongside taking your kid to school 500 yards down the road in a 4 x 4 as a threat to the planet and a waste of the earth's resources.

I never looked at it as an environmental issue. I just thought that it was a nerd issue.

 

[foo]

i don't iron t-shirts. in fact, i rarely iron anything.

Stobart - you honestly iron flannels??

my fella is a bit of a scruffbag too but i quite like that about him.

 

[sojourner]

The kind of person who irons jeans

Quite


I loathe ironing, but have to iron my shirts (NOT tshirts) for work. And no, OU, shirts DON'T get sent to a bloody dry cleaners, not when there's a perfectly good washing machine in the house!!

 

[foo]

dry cleaners turn white things yellow after a while anyway, yuk. i've never liked the idea - things need water to be properly clean in my world.

the only things i'll occasionally take to the dry cleaners are coats.

 

[sojourner]

I've never had anything dry cleaned in my entire life! Same as you foo - cleaning involves detergent and WATER!

 

[Mallard]

I've never ironed a T shirt.

 

[dessiato]

I iron some of my t-shirts. If they are going to be worn under a shirt, but if they are going to be worn for going out I prefer them ironed. This is particularly true of my Armani/Boss/DK t-shirts. They look and feel better this way.

 

[waterloowelshy]

Unless you wear it at a wedding or a funeral it dosen't need to be ironed.

Fact.

or bollocks. depending on how scruffy you are.

 

[Cobbles]

Who the fuck irons their t-shirts?

Nobody - they're just underwear.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I mostly iron t-shirts but, like several others, it depends on the t-shirt and the occasion.

I never iron jeans, but I also don't wear them, so that's not a problem for me. However, when I had a housefull of jeans wearers I never ironed them, either. I just folded them up carefully. It wouldn't occur to me to iron jeans.

I always iron teatowels, though.

Unlike SS, I certainly don't iron flannels or bathtowels, and, also unlike SS, I hate ironing!

 

[Guineveretoo]

Why would anybody dry clean a shirt?

 

[dylanredefined]

Because you could I guess ?Have only ironed jeans when they spent too long in tumble dryer and looked horrible .

 

[moomoo]

Don't you find clothes feel better when they have been ironed though? I certainly notice the difference, they are much softer.

 

[dodgepot]

if a t-shirt has been given a good shaking out and then hung nicely whilst still damp it shouldn't need ironing. if it dried all crumpled up it might do - wearing a t-shirt out that's just a mess of creases is not really on, not in this day and age, to be honest.

not on.

but hanging them out properly should avoid the need to iron.
