The first thing I do when I buy a new dress shirt is launder it until it's about as stiff as soup. I never iron or starch. My dress shirts aren't stiff enough to hold a wrinkle.

|
buying the wrinkle-free Arrows...out of the dryer, onto a hangar and thats all folks!

5. I bought a white dress shirt at Nordstrom Rack and failed to see it needed ironing... |
|
...so I take it to the dry cleaners...reluctantly.
I've tried using an iron. I wouldn't call it one of my greatest skills.

7. I do all the ironing at my house. |
|
My wife, raised in a wealthy family, doesn't really iron very well. And I'm ex-military. Gotta know how to iron if you want to keep looking strack...

9. Me. But then, I do everything. :-) |
|
I remember my Dad would send his shirts out and they'd come back from the cleaners pressed & folded and 5 to a box. He was an Arthur Anderson accountant in the early 60's and had to dress "full arthur."

If you get the shirts from the dryer to the washer quick and from the dryer to the hanger quick and you don't overload, ironing is minimal.

12. I buy "permanent-press". No need to deal with the battle to get my wife |
|
to do the ironing. She loves ironing, but the urge to do only comes once a month or so.

15. Usually, no ironing. If needed, I pay a "cleaners" |
|
I often do that prior to travel because, for an absurdly low fee, my cleaners will fold the shirt and wrap it in plastic, like it's coming from the store.

16. One of my top five sexual fantasies .... |
|
a really hot woman ironing my shirt every morning. Preferably wearing short cut-off blue jean shorts and one of my t-shirts at the time.
But yeah. I'm ironing my own shirts these days.

20. I consider myself to be a somewhat stupid person, but long ago |
|
I learned to read labels that say, on the shirt "Permanent Press", "No Ironing Needed". dc
