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?

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

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

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

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!

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.
