Can't be bothered to iron (don't even have one). See previous posts about Beiber. At the very least, see if your dry cleaner has a laundry service and just have your shirts laundered and pressed. And buy a steamer, saves you from needing to have your suits pressed and should keep them out of the dry cleaner for anything more than once a year. You have nice things, stop abusing them. Most casual shirts like the mechanics can be steamed into a presentable form in under a minute. You can make long staple dress shirts look perfect and most normal ones look good enough under a suit jacket that you wouldn't even need an iron. |

Is love the best descriptor? Really?! My ex-gf loved Taylor Swift. I've seen her twice. The Biebs was opening in 2010 I think? Man, talk about taking one for the team. |

Can't be bothered to iron (don't even have one). I'm with you here. I don't have all of them dry cleaned and pressed but many. I just like how it looks and can get several wears per cleaning. I also have most khakis pressed, again I just prefer the look. Not so... I slept in my clothes. |

I had a Brooks Brothers shirt that was dry cleaned for about ten years before switching to laundered and pressed. It just died a few weeks ago at twenty years. They don't make them like that anymore.
But you can get the same results by laundering at home and steaming or ironing. I've recently worn through wool suit pants in a few years and was told to only dry clean once or twice a year, steaming in between to get more life out of them.
Eating a salad would probably help too. Stupid baby weight.

Yeah, I prefer Rowenta for irons, but the $70 PurSteam on Amazon is better than the comparable Rowenta steamers. The Shark handheld is also supposed to be good.

devastitis are you sure your dry cleaner is actually dry cleaning your cotton shirts or just laundering and ironing them? In my experience, most dry cleaners automatically do the latter. Maybe I've just been lucky, but my dry cleaners have always recommended things like laundering shirts, pressing a suit instead of subjecting it to dry cleaning and using less starch instead of more. Do agree with getting a steamer though. Even a travel model beats the heck out of ironing.

 Really hope it's jacquard like the current Jack. I talked to TS yesterday and confirmed that this will be a future Workshop offering, perhaps next week. And yes, it is jacquard fabric. |
