TM Lewin How To Iron A Shirt

[aperez011]

I just took out 3 shirts to iron after watching this video a couple times. Wow! I was able to do it in 5 to 6 minutes each. It came out great! Thank you so much. What a great skill to have.

[OnlyWhenILarf]

Something that's speeded things up for me was to iron the back of the buttons in a single pass, rather than dodging around the buttons from the front.

[cgKIRSCHf]

Do you ship these irons to the Congo hello.

[MrYesplease80]

[MrYesplease80]

I've got a pile of wank on my shirt, can someone upload a video of how to get rid of stains like this easy?

[etamlous]

Can you make a video about how to keep shirts fresh? I always have a problem with "ring-collar" forming from just a single wear. Is there a way to avoid ring-collar forming and best ways to remove them?

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@etamlous Hello, we'll have to look into this, but a good detergent should remove the ring-collar from forming. Hope this helps!

[phantasMoon69]

Thanks, you're a time savior, I will definetely give it a go since I have to iron my shirts. Nice techniques and advices!

[DoesntUpload]

I'm in student accomodation, with a communal iron and board.

This video reminds of the the Le Grill scene in The Simpsons.

I guess practice makes perfect.

[marryson123]

Here a little advice. NEVER! watch this video while ironing. otherwise you'll accidentally burn your finger with the iron just like me.......

[limeypete69]

That's some good advice. Now I know how I ruined my shirt!

Cheers m8.

[scorpiaerika]

that's what i do, but it sure seems like a long 3 minutes to me

[adda241]

Must be a hell of an iron.

[arcturuz78]

i followed your technique, and i still take 15-20mins per shirt

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@arcturuz78 Hi, can we ask which iron and ironing board you're using?

[folkeboll]

I have a question that I don't believe was adressed in this video. It regards the collar:

Looking at your (and others') collar it is curved at the front (if you start from the neck and follow the collar to the shoulder, it's bent slightly outwards). When I iron my shirts they tend to get bent inwards instead, especially in the afternoon. Do you have any suggestions as of what I'm doing wrong or can do better?

I hope that I made sense!

[magicomerv]

This guy is the real iron man.

[ksinghh]

thx!!1

[ATERIFA]

it takes me 30 minutes to iron a shirt :(

[Itfun2bEviL]

Thanks bro

[jimbonoshow]

thanks so much for the fantastic video! my shirts now look better than they ever have :D

[XxLakesidexX2011]

why do people watch a video on how to do something then tell the person speeking in the video they are wrong?? and by the way thankyou...

[sauderb3]

Thanks so much for a shirt-ironing tutorial that is actually about ironing shirts!

I wondered yet about when we have the box pleat in the back sewn in at the yoke. How far down should those pleats be ironed? Should they taper or just abruptly disappear?

Second question, when you've got a double seam under the sleeve should you fold that to the back or the front to find the bottom of your sleeve?

Thanks again

[CERIBES]

Your a life saver. @Singapore have an important meeting and my shirt was a bit creased. TY...

[venom477]

DAMMMN I wish i could iron like you. u the baws

[jeshavine1]

I never thought i was deficient in this department until being exposed recently...little embarrassing. :/

I learnt a thing or two from your video though.

Thanks for sharing!

[peter9783]

Thank you. Your video is very helpful

[flobbingdonkey]

Ill give this a go, but i have a real problem with my Lewin shirts. It concerns the arms. Just before the cuff, its impossible to get them straight, so you just have to iron, then re-iron, then turn over, and repeat. Am i doing something wrong?

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@flobbingdonkey Hello, the easiest way is to form the pleats and press the bottom part of the sleeve from the inside of the sleeve when ironing the inside of the cuff (or the top of the cuff on a double-cuff shirt). This way, when you iron the sleeve you don’t need to iron all the way down to the cuff. By the way, the first pleat into the cuff should run in a straight line from the crease along the sleeve top. Hope that makes sense – and helps!

[fingersandjeans]

Dude... i tried to iron when i was like 17, I burnt my shirt. I have just successfully ironed 2 shirts following your method. Cheers bro.

[Th3GreenMan5611]

thumbs up if youre trying to learn how to iron before you go out to your new years eve party!!

[ChocolateSwirls964]

..I watching this so I can iron a whole basket of clothes as a surprise for my mom before she gets home from work. X) Thanks for the help. :)

[jespervad]

I just ironed my first shirt, following this video and it just worked! 

[Dinfulatub]

Helped me a lot

[bjuntura]

What's the best way to iron the sleeves Where it meets the cuff? I find it's tough cause it's where it pleats into the cuff and buttons are in the way. Always comes out still wrinkly.

[fasanlort]

nah...im just gonna make my mom do it -.-

[KongMikkel]

You're are wearing the best fitting shirt, i have ever seen...

[alkowarizmi]

@KongMikkel my thoughts exactly....

[nyrz]

When do you apply starch ? Before you iron, or after you iron 1 time, and then apply starch and re-iron? Thanks ! Awesome video !

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@nyrz Hello, we would recommend that you iron the collar and yoke of the shirt, and then apply the spray with starch and iron once more. It depends on how crisp you would like your shirts to be as to how much starch you use during the ironing process.

Hope this helps.

[mrmartinmartin]

I have 14 TM Lewin shirts, I refuse to wear a shirt unless it's TM Lewin. Am I being snobby? Yes, and proud. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't take drugs, dont' sleep around, so i'm allowed my 1 little luxury and indulge in it with pleasure :)

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@mrmartinmartin We don’t think that you’re being snobby at all! :-)

[mrmartinmartin]

@TMLewinOFFTHECUFF thank you, will show this to my girlfriend :)

[gregfunkflex]

This dude is a PIMP.

[bluetorch13]

I was going downstairs to "iron" (or what I though was ironing! lol) a bunch of my shirts and thought "mmm maybe I should youtube it..." and your video came up first. Thanks a lot! buttoning the one on the neck was the key!!!

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@bluetorch13 We’re glad that it helped with your ironing! Do you enjoy ironing?

[JzAepqMRVT]

الف الف شكرا على هذا المجهود

[gtogunda]

the shirt you are wearing in this video is actually quite psychedelic, them stripes are living their own lives

[mwoolner]

cuffs, sleeves, yoke(?) collar, work around the rest of the shirt (collar buttoned.) Seem straight forward enough.

[BavarianMWorks1]

I've worked for a famouse Italian designer for 5 years and believe me this is by far the best demonstration and advice I have seen, especially the buttoning of the top button! Top man!

[TheMastereffects]

awsome

[bartwasiak]

I always thought that shirts should be turned inside out before ironing, so as to avoid damaging the "outer layer" (for example, if the iron is too hot, the material sometimes turns shiny). Apparently I was wrong...?

[Daskeladden1]

@bartwasiak you should turn it inside out if it is color/dark because then the material will shine

[thevalkyrie8]

@bartwasiak I thought that too. I think you are right as this has happened to me.

[tonybeir]

excellent technique and easy to follow! you're a life saver, first time people started to comment on how nice my shirts look.

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@tonybeir We're glad to hear that! Did you find it difficult to iron your shirts before?

[DSCcolours]

buttoning the collar is something I never even considered!

[stevesavanna]

What brand ironing board are you using? I have found many boards have a metal wire weaving throughout that often gets pressed into my shirts

[bjuntura]

Do you have a video that shows how to iron a dress shirt sleeve on more detail? I have hard time around the cuff cause of the buttons and all the other details in that area. Just comes out wrinkly. Also any suggestions and tips of washing nice dress shirts? I used to bring them to the dry cleaners but to cut costs I'm now washing them on my own and they just don't come out the way I like.

[dusser68]

only irons one sleeve

[runescapeglicthes]

How come sometimes steam wont come out when i press on it? What does the steam do?

[acolvin2010]

@runescapeglicthes Your shirt likes steam. Give it lots. The more the better. In fact, soak your shirt in karosene first than light it on fire. This will solve your steam problems.

[runescapeglicthes]

@acolvin2010 k thnx can i shot ur mom too?

[DSCcolours]

@acolvin2010 I lol'd

[lavendderrable]

Ur an artist!!! Thanx

[RocketRossUK]

What is the Starch used for please?

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@RocketRossUK Hello, the starch is optional to make your shirts look straighter and therefore more formal – but, it really depends on the occasion. Hope that this helps!

[TheMcShay]

You just made me iron my first shirt and it's AWESOME - thanks a lot!

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@TheMcShay We're happy to have helped!

[racsal2]

Thanks, nice video. But when you iron the sleeve, you make a pleat (at edge), but your shirt (on you) don't have pleats on sleeves. It is some different, isn't it? :)

So the ironed shirt isn't so beautiful than shirt on you. :)

P.S. Sorry for my english, i hope you understand me.

[jreily88]

don't forget, if the shirt has removable collar stays, take those out, or they will melt under the heat.

[sandeepmohanr]

Thanks for the Video.. Very well explained

[GoodLookingAlphaMale]

awesome video! thanks :D

[paktas]

great tips by the best dressed man on youtube

[MustafaPresents]

Honestly, this video has turned me from an ironing hater to an ironing almost-liker, which for me is a major change. Thanx a lot for a very concise and helpful video.

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@MustafaPresents We're glad that you find it so useful.

[TowerJam]

this is not kung fu

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@Mrjohnnyshredder Thanks, we appreciate your support.

[mikeswbr]

what happened to the starch spray?

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@mikeswbr Hello, we feel that starch is optional when ironing, depending on how formal you like your shirts to look.

[akizzz1989]

Thanks for your video.It helped me write an article on a greek website!!And now a mini-tip from me..never use striped shirts on camera :)

thanks again!

[titiridvatidva]

Man, u just saved my mariage! :P

[NeonboiiZ]

This guy makes ironing look like an art!

[ChocolateFacedMan]

Delightful. thank you. 

[ograndedienne]

Nice man. Thanks for sharing.

[kmorsey75]

Thanks a bloody lot, you just made me have to go and iron my work shirts.

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@StevenJamesJ: you don’t have to spend a fortune on equipment, but do get a reasonably priced steam iron for around £40-£50. And a big ironing board will make the job much quicker as you don’t spend half your time moving the shirt around and getting it creased again. The new type of ironing boards have a mesh top and this allows steam to pass through, it could set you back around £60 – but will last forever, with the occasional change of cover.

[StevenJamesJ]

I have a cheap, thin ironing board and a terrible, years old mega-cheap iron. Some shirts come out OK and some barely look like they've been ironed. None come out awesome despite years of ironing/practise.

Is there a glass ceiling with poor equipment or is it all technique and the good stuff is just nice to have? I havn't laid out the cash yet just in case it's all me.

[HardCoreProgrammer1]

a very good video..i am going to follow you tips right now..my first ironing

[ograndedienne]

@HardCoreProgrammer1 Do not forget the iron over the shirt !!! :P

[iatoan]

Loved the video. Tried the ironing techniques taught here and was very satisfied with the results. We could definitely use your expertise in a video on the cleaning and care of a dress shirt. (dry clean vs washing machine, etc ) Any chance of that happening?

[Imhungryhm]

very usefull one thing is that it would be cool to show a shirt un-ironed against one which is ironed, maybe before/after because ive never really known how much of a diffrence it makes to a shirt. but my dad goes on about it ALOT :P

[flaze3]

thanks--useful video!

[tsanlc]

Most of us do know how to iron. It just take longer time and frustrating sometimes when the material is not 100% cotton and some shirts after washing especially around the collar and wrist tend to crease. It's difficult to get is in shape. It is also very hot work if you're in tropical country - so there. Thanks for loading the vid.

[edhingo1]

2 person doesnt have an iron.

[Slim47247]

yah nigga dum haha how yah dont kno how to iron .......wowowowowow lol ....i cant belive somebody posted this up

[hungrysquid]

I find ironing the cuff end of the sleeve very difficult, there are quite many folds with not enough surface to operate on - there is no video around showing us how to do that bit in details.

[amarforest]

Thank you! Will keep trying....

[martialartsdude]

perfect just what I have been looking for, can't believe I actually want to go and do the ironing O_o

[slatkaisobelle]

Thank you for posting this wonderful video! I gave up trying to iron my husbands shirts. You can't imagine how much money I will be saving not going to the dry cleaners now. I ironed 2 shirts immediately after watching the video and they look wonderful! I'm still a little slow, but I'm sure with practice I'll be at 3 mins =)

[Konig1985]

Sometimes, there are folds at the sleeves and back of the shirt so it is very hard to lay them completely flat for ironing. If I try to iron them as flat as I can, crease lines will form around the folds. I don't see you having this problem when ironing. Whats your trick?

[slatkaisobelle]

@Konig1985 Yes, I am having this same problem!

[rakh]

Outstanding video. Formidable technique. Thank you very much.

[BerenFromAustralia]

how soon after the drying process are you ironing? that is, straight out of the dryer, or straight off the clothesline, or, do you wait a while, and why?

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@BerenFromAustralia We would not recommend tumble drying as it can cause the cotton to shrink; it can also create small creases in the fabric which makes ironing more difficult. Hanging the shirt on a hanger to dry or line-drying outdoors. Collars & cuffs will always take longer to dry & if they're too damp they'll be more difficult to iron. Drying indoors for about 8 hours (or overnight) usually does the job and then mist-spray the shirt all over with water before ironing.

[PiePictures]

Thanks! I'm kind of blown away by how easy you made it look, time for me to give it a try! Your accent is awesome and the shirt you're wearing is even better.

[TMLewinOFFTHECUFF]

@PiePictures Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the video! Do let us know how you get on!

[USAApproved]

2 people are women that know how to iron...........

[RIVERLOPEZ]

What brand shirt are you wearing? They look really nice...Thanks

[Yojimbo1AK]

i liked the part where he relaxed the fibers

[Konig1985]

What is the model and brand of iron you are using?

[gemartii]

Just fantastic; until I found your channel it seemed quite difficult to find good quality vids on this subject. Good male grooming and dressing isn't hard if you're taught how; problem is it isn't taught!

[IFknHateUTube]

What's wrong with just hanging it on the shower curtain and cranking up the water as hot as it goes?

[1337kamikaze]

@IFknHateUTube Thats accepetable in south central

[poposisa]

its 1am..otherwise ill give it a try :D

[nalin1956]

You have only ironed one sleeve of the shirt what about the other one ?

[Elliotdoesloans]

I was literally doing everything backwards......THANK YOU

[KrokodilaGena]

what a style, english people are just ridiculous!

[NikySportsPromotion]

first thing i noticed in this video- tie in the background is too short

[J16642009]

Im 33yrs old and never ironed a shirt in my life but gonna have to start now. You've made it look so easy, hope it is. Wish me luck :)

[desidera389]

So the technique is spot on my shirt looked great! I watched it a couple times to make sure i was getting it (also baked haha) but is it just me or did he iron half a shirt in 3 mins? (considering the first min was intro)

[desidera389]

You just saved my night. Regards!

[betterinsodapop]

Definitely going to give this method a whirl. My technique certainly can't get any worse than it already is. Inspiring video.

[griffithd05]

I found this video easy to masturbate to.

[hypj]

i can hear the steam going, are you pressing a button to release the steam? What about when the "yoke" has that pleat thing that makes it harder to iron?

[phranger]

some useful tips thanks!

[marcelosoto88]

thanks m8, that was very useful....my mom never taught me her "ancient technique"

[cadnyc]

thanks for the tip. ironing my shirt would take me 10 mins before

[fairbairndavid]

WHAT A BOSS HOW DO YOU IRON A SHIRT IN 2 MINS??? It took me like 10 for one!!



[sylversterlo]

He would be a good butler..

[mcglassapple12]

Watching this as i'm ironing my shirt for prom

[fkporsche1]

Great tips, great instruction. Swift moves.. And firm press where it need to be..

Thanks..

[fkporsche1]

Great tips on ironing shirt. I like it when the part it needs to be press down with firm pressure and flip the shirt in swift action. Haha.. Ha. I'm going to try it. Good instructions.

[BladeReviewscom]

Spent close to an hour trying to iron one shirt tonight. Singed a small brown spot on the back of it. Aaaaaand I'm only buying iron free shirts from now on fck this.

[daivuk]

3 mins is too long to iron a shirt. When I get up in the morning I'm already late.

[DCUPtoejuice]

my canali shirt says "cool iron". It is a 100% cotton weave. what setting is that?

[killerwill55]

bleh i my sleeves dont come out like that... and he makes it look so easy..

[killerwill55]

bleh i my sleeves dont come out like that...

[Commanderlewis]

[nick00goku]

I'm baked and this video was really satisfying to watch.

[mothafonk]

thanx man!

[danyellec]

couldnt you have said you were steaming all the way through before the end... trying to do it step by step here! also you shouldve mentioned do both sleeves first...not just one..

[dcaonoek]

@danyellec I think it was quite obvious!

[danyellec]

@dcaonoek not if you don't iron lol

[ADAMAKAGORE]

This guy makes me want to iron my shirts..

[arval21]

You are amazing! Thank you for the tricks.

[Ajaggedpanther]

thanks a mint, buttoning the collar is a nice trick

[tropicalpimp]

Thats why god invented the cleaners. pay mamasan $10 n you will have the stiffest shirt money can buy.

[Coalcracker79]

I really enjoyed your attention to detail, I'll give it a go. Thank you for the video. sincerely, a guy that struggles to iron.

what type of shirt is he wearing in this video? is that a buckingham slim fit?

Коментарий моей девушки:

Нифига не три минуты! Ролик 4:50, причем в этом ролике он погладил один рукав с одной стороны...Да если еще доску раскладывать, наливать воду в утюг и пульверизатор... А если еще и удлинитель доставать, разматывать и включать! Можно подумать у нас у всех квартиры оборудованы специальными комнатами, где все готовое стоит.

[Mar2623]

@yakimovmaxim yes I agree up to a point.... Love Google translate það er allveg frábært

[MrJamesb83]

its quite tTherapeutic

[iborovkov]

Bloody fantastic.

But that would be times more than three minutes without cutting the video

[histologieII]

Thank you!!!

[JoostShino]

Thank you for this video. After my attempt just now my shirt still looks like crap but at least I know the basics now. I need a new ironing board...

[InuvikPhil]

Best tutorial I've seen on Youtube! Excellent

[lajulajay]

@amplifier515 Thanks

[rel62]

Question: Do you dry your shirts in a dryer, or do you hang them to dry after they come out of the washer? My experience has been that hanging them to dry makes them wrinkle up -- which makes my ironing job more work.

Thanks for your video, BTW. Great tips.
