<p>Seems like unless they are really really wrinkled, the heat of the body eliminates wrinkles after about 5 minutes of wear.</p>
<p>Not if they aren’t dried with softener in the washer or dryer. I hang dry my t shirts and iron them.</p>
<p>The only person I know who does that is my brother-in-law (not even his wife!).</p>
<p>If you dry jeans and t shirts on the no heat cycle they come out so soft and smooth… Of course it takes forever!</p>
<p>I like them ironed. I have most of my clothes ironed. My bedspread gets ironed after it’s made.</p>
<p>I iron my jeans and cotton t-shirts. I worked too hard to fit in those jeans to have them looking wrinkled!</p>
<p>Seriously, it’s nice to get the pockets to lay flat and what not. It’s just nice to have a freshly ironed pair of pants when you grab them from the closet.</p>
<p>Dry cleaner LOVES me…</p>
<p>My mother used to iron my jeans. And put creases in them. </p>
<p>I have to really, really like an article of clothing to buy it if it needs to be ironed. Luckily, my work is casual dress, and I live in sweaters for 3 seasons (no ironing!)</p>
<p>Now, I don’t put creases in jeans. The trick is to iron them seam to seam across the legs. Then, they just fold in half and go over a hanger.</p>
<p>I remember when we were in our 20s we would not date guys with creases in their jeans.</p>
<p>No ironing here! Life is too short.</p>
<p>I have never ironed a pair of jeans and I never will.</p>
<p>I refuse to buy clothes that require ironing or dry cleaning. Too lazy, too cheap.</p>
<p>I iron everything, including jeans and tees. I do line dry many of my clothes, but even those work clothes I put in the dryer I iron, I like a finished non wrinkled, creased look.</p>
<p>Ok, a few questions.</p>
<p>My 2 teen daughters tend to wear their jeans and t-shirts so tight that a wrinkle has no chance. So why iron?</p>
<p>Does the iron/not iron decision generally break down gender lines?</p>
<p>When I see somebody (especially males) wearing what appears to be an overly pressed casual outfit, I tend to think, “Wow, there’s an uptight, no-fun person with some bizarre priorities.” Anybody else feel this way?</p>
<p>What do you obsessive pressers think when you see people wearing jeans and t-shirts that aren’t ironed?</p>
<p>I was thinking how much energy we could save in the world each year if we all just lightened up about minor wrinkling.</p>
<p>H has his underwears ironed sometimes. There is nothing better than ironed sheets.</p>
<p>When we had to iron our own clothes, H took care of his own ironing (he won’t send his dress shirts out because he could do a better job). I ironed my own clothes, plus our 2 girls’ cotton dresses (remember those dresses with a bow tie in the back) and their cotton shirts. At 22 & 17, they won’t put anything on which is wrinkled. Luckily, most of their shirts now are of soft material.</p>
<p>When I see someone with nicely pressed clothes, I think that person takes the time to take care of him/herself. There are many ways one could “waste” their time on (playing video, surfing the net, watching TV, texting), taking sometime to take care of one self isn’t the worst thing.</p>
<p>Full disclosure - I have someone who irons my stuff now, but it is a priority for me so I pay for it.</p>
<p>I hang T’s and golf shirts to dry and then throw them in the dryer with a damp washcloth to soften–works perfectly for me!<br>
I do the same thing with a ‘forgotten’ load–just fluff with a damp washcloth or two and then get them out while warm.<br>
Our jeans have never been acquainted with an iron!</p>

<p>Getting them wrinkled.</p>
<p>I am in Oldfort’s camp … full disclosure and all.</p>
<p>One of my aunts had a husband who expected even his boxer undershorts to be ironed by her when she did laundry; she did end up divorcing him.</p>
