Leave it in the pile until some woman gets her backside into gear and does her job.

Collar - from points in, towards centre. ( There's more cloth on the outside, and needs to be eased in, to avoid creasing.)

Cuffs. Front sleeve, back sleeve and placket.

Front, back, front.

Shoulder yoke.

Preferably hang.

If travelling, and needs folding, fold down either side oF collar, so you don't see a crease, if worn under a jacket.

If too much of a chore, look out for vintage shirts...from Brentford Nylons.

Perhaps this should be in a do-it-yourself section?

How did they ways of ironing a shirt differ?

Share.

Katex and you do it in the nude, whilst the fella wore his pants and vest?

The best way to iron a shirt according to Reece is...... Shove it in the dryer for a few minutes when mum aint watching, he's been able to iron for years, if i catch him putting things in the dryer to get the creases out he gets made to get the iron out instead

i demonstrated on the spugster as he was the only one at the smokers table wearing a shirt ...:D:D the front, back, front, sleeves cuffs, and then the collar ....

katex was near enough the same as you rindy ... except she said cuffs first ...

When Darwendosser pointed out that he could iron shirts better than me I delegated the job

.....and bought him an ironing board for his birthday

Re: A discussion last night .....
 

This is perhaps were you're going wrong.

Much easier, and safer, to do it on an ironing board.

Doing it whilst it's being worn could cause slight scorching.

Both to man, and fabric.
