My grandma ironed for a shirt factory for 5 years when she was young (between the end of the 40s and the beginning of the 50s). Her record was 109 shirts ironed in a day. When in her 80s became blind she could still iron shirts. She was a legend. No ! She IS a legend.
A legend indeed!🦸♀️
I truly respect that.....
He did all this in a suit! Respect!
🤝🤝
Nice design of your ironing table or board. Can you please tell me where you bought it and whats the brand name, Thanks in advance

I’ve been ironing my own shirts for over fifty years now, and that is the way my dear mother taught me to do it!
🙏🎯🎯🎯🤝
Eager to see
Type of iron?

Same!
My mother ironed on Tuesdays. She had six children. We all had perfectly ironed clothes. She taught me to iron when I was very young actually, all of us knew how to iron. I love this video.😊
Wow that is a lot of ironing, but great that she taught you🤝🥂
My Gran always ironed on Tuesdays too, the day after wash day.
Never thought I would enjoy ironing a shirt video so much. 👍
Well thank you🥂
Loved to see you ironing your shirt while wearing suit and tie. Such a gentleman,
Thank you 🤝🥂
In a world of overly casual dress, we need more videos like this. Nothing like being sartorially resplendent!
Thank you 🎯🤝
To this day, I iron my shirts and trousers myself. My father taught me these important chores and how to do them properly. Great video... My heart sank when you left the iron on the shirt for a few seconds 😂.. Thank you and have a lovely day.
Yes that would have been embarrassing…with an iron shaped burn hole 😂🤝🥂
I wanted to reach into my phone and lift it off!
My son irons his shirts as well. He learned in the army. Once when he was out, wearing his crisply ironed shirt, someone said to him “I can see your wife irons your shirts.” He replied, “Oh, NO she does not.” He does like a crease across the back at about shoulder blade level.
There is nothing like a elegant man, wearing a shirt Women are demanding THE RETURN OF THE MAN❤❤❤❤❤
All the men in Rhodes-Wood will doing extra pressing 👔👔👔👔👔🥂
But women should also learn to cover them...
I thought I knew how to iron a shirt, but I have learned a couple of tips from you in this very comprehensive tutorial. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!.. thank you 🤝🥂
My granny showed me this technique when I was 8 and I have always ironed my clothes since then…even now at 47 being a wife and working mom..I always iron all our clothes…everyone laughs at me for being so “ocd” as they say. However, in the end I find that it actually saves a lot of time when we are getting ready because all our clothes are nice and pressed. Also, what iron is that it looks fabulous and I need it in my life 😊
Granny passed on some skills… they no longer teach at school !… it a Phillips Azur 2500W 👔👔👔👔🥂
Hanging clothes or even leaving the flat after taking from washing machine/or dryer (in a rush) really helps.
From India, just watched the video to listen to this gentleman speak in the most sophisticated manner, and also to admire his diligence. I iron my ladies shirt exactly this way, my mother has taught me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is exactly how my mom taught me when I was 11 years old. I STILL iron cotton shirts today.
I've been ironing my own shirts for over 60 years now just as you demonstrate, and that is the way the Royal Navy taught me to do it.!! 😉
👍🤝🥂
This is also how I iron a shirt with the exception that I no longer press in either of the two creases on the double cuff. I like the roll and curvature of the cuff more than the hard angles there.
Perfect technique. The most visible and important parts at the end. The knee on the collar is a bonus I didn't know about, thank you.
Thank you … I agree leave the most important … collar to the end… the knee is a game changer🤝🤝
People think I aam strange for loving ironing, but they don't realise the satisfaction a properly ironed piece of clothing brings, I have always followed the same process you do, though I am a stickler for the pleats being identical and symmetric, To attain this in long trousers I have been known to use copious numbers of washing pegs to keep the pleats in place while ironing! 😂
🎯🎯🤝
Thank you for this instruction. I’ve never been taught how to iron a shirt properly.
You are welcome🤝🤝
Just so lovely seeing a man doing the ironing. I know their must be plenty of you out there, but I've never known one!
I’d say everyone who did any military training can iron and those who want their clothes looking tip top🤝🥂
I have been ironing my shirts and trousers for over more than fifty years.. still I had something to learn from this video
So relaxing watching this gentleman ironing. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it🥂
I learned how to iron my clothing and polish my shoes by watching my father do it. Once his shirts were laundered and hung to partially dry, he rolled them up and put them in the freezer! When it was time to iron one, out it came from the freezer. I loved the smell and sounds as the hot iron hit the shirts. I have three brothers, none of whom have any interest in ironing. My Dad also had pant forms, and sock forms. He had been in the Canadian army from 1937 (he enlisted at 17) until he retired in 1967 and was very particular about presentation. He was always sharply dressed. Some people teased him about it. I never did. I was always very proud to be seen with him. P.S. I love your channel!
He sounds like ‘the man’…. Great to see .. care! Thank you 🤝🥂
Love the watch. And I was always taught to iron by my mother and it’s, collar, cuffs, sleeve, yoke then the rest. The one I haven’t mastered is ironing to then put in a suit case. A video on that would be great!
Thank you … will do a packing video 🥂
My mother irons in the same order as the video. I also prefer collar first then followed with yoke, sleeves, front panel, back panel, front panel. By ironing the panels last there is no weight on the panels to create creases. 😊
Totally agreed. Ironing is the one chore I enjoy immensely. My mother-in-law ironed her guest room bed sheets. When I visited and slipped into the guest bed it was HEAVEN. Definitely worth the effort 😊.
Love that!🤝
First class lesson by an expert. Thank you!
You're very welcome!🥂
Good job! One might wonder if a chap who can afford to pay GBP 350 for a shirt ever irons his own shirts. It has been my experience that all the nice gentlemen I know who can afford such shirts do exactly that, they iron their own shirts and polish their own shoes. It's all about taking care in what we do. PS: Also love the "knee bit" which was a nice novelty for me.
Thank you 🤝🤝🥂
You are astute and correct, Sir. No greater respect for one’s clothes and shoes, and the impression one makes in them than to care for them properly yourself. Sadly, this is a dying art. Thank goodness for videos showing expertise like this.
Great video. I came for tips and left with the comfort of knowing I was taught how to iron a shirt correctly. 👍
Glad it was helpful!🤝🤝
Me also.
A male friend taught me many years ago how helpful the “back” of the ironing board is. If you use the square end of the board you get a consistent surface for each shirt panel.
Yes many say so… with an iron stand there… is where I struggle 🤝🥂
I've been ironing shirts this way for 70 years! Learned it in 4-H sewing class!
Yes!…. Sewing class and ‘Domestic Science’( cooking) were compulsory at my school for at least a term wood work and metalwork were also compulsory for girls !….
My mother taught me to iron a shirt in such a way that each piece that had been pressed was not destroyed while you would press the next section so I would always do the cuffs first and then the sleeve instead of sleeve then twist the just pressed sleeve to do the cuff. I start with the collar, then shoulder placket, then cuff, back of sleeve, front of sleeve then front left of shirt all the way around to front right of shirt. In this way, each piece that has been ironed hangs down loosely while the next section is pressed.
Yes I’m sure it works…. But either way… mine… I’m happy to wear🤝🥂
When I do ironing I do it just like you. My mum told me how to. I’m not too fond of ironing but I know my mum is. She owns a mangle and put all sheets, pillow covers, linnen napkins and table cloths. I still remember when we went to use a real stone mangle.
Sir, you are a true gentleman. I've been ironing my own shirts since being a boy. Learned a great deal from this video. Thank you from Los Angeles.
Thank you very much 🤝🥂
Sir you are truly a proper gentleman! I am a seamstress and learned how to iron men shirts when constructing them. I actually love ironing! *~ New Subscriber*
Thank you very much🤝
Love the iron and ironing board!! 🫶🏼
So pleased to see this video and say a big thank you to my mum as this is how she taught iron a shirt when I was 11. I am now 66 and still ironing in exactly the same way that you do said to me, your best friend is the iron as to how you look in your clothes thank you for this video
My pleasure and I agree🤝
Strangely satisfying to watch. Classy and informative.
Lovely video I worked in sewing for 30 years we didn't do many shirts mostly blouse slacks kids clothes I could press 26 blouses a hour that includes a bonus in our wages still love ironing
Wow!..🤝🤝🥂
I have been ironing shirts for years- no one to teach me, so I taught myself. There are many good tips in this video!
Thank you🥂
All I kept thinking is what iron is that?? And the pad too. Great video
It’s a Phillips Azur 2500W and the board is by Minkey or Mingey🥂Thank you
I never ironed much of anything up until about 6 months ago, now I’m ironing my pillowcases. It’s my therapy.
😂😂🤝🤝🥂
Sir, that is admirable, albeit a bit excessive from my humble perspective. I was taught to iron my clothing when I was young, probably 55 years ago. However, I have never graduated to pillowcases, nor have I considered such. Good for you. I may now have trouble sleeping on a pillowcase with wrinkles! haha
What a lovely video, a breath of fresh air and elegance, old England style and standards. So glad the crease down the sleeve of a shirt is ok, I always thought it was not and it had to be smooth. So much easier. Hope to see lots more videos like this. Thank you.
Thank you so much!🥂
Fantastic video! That is how I iron dress shirts. I'm glad I've been doing right all these years. 😊
Thank you 🤝🤝🥂
Never knew this is the way to iron a shirt. Thank you.
Happy to help!🥂
My late father taught me to iron his shirts when I was 10....just as you have done...I can hear him saying...fold the cuff.....thankyou
‘On the edge of being dry’. Now there’s a phrase.
🤓🤓🤝
Exactly as it should be!!👍
Before hanging a damp shirt, I lightly spray it with diluted liquid starch. When it dries you don't get as much of the flakes when ironing.
I started ironing my own clothes way back in 7th grade and haven't stopped since! I find ironing boards too restrictive - there's just not enough space to maneuver the iron smoothly. That's why I use a regular wooden table with a thick, an old jeans fabric as a heat-resistant pad. It works perfectly for me, and I'm proud of how well I can iron my clothes!
Sounds great and as long as it works for you. I like the board shape at the front for getting inside the front and armhole/ yoke 🤝🥂
Ha! I’ve been ironing my shirts for over 25 years now and I’ve come up with almost the same method and sequence; only I don’t like creases on my sleeves as I prefer everything to be smooth and round 🙂. Excellent job Sir! Enjoyed the video a lot 👌
Thank you, lovely to hear of your acceptance and I also understand your different approach and preference🤝🤝👔
I enjoyed watching. I discovered through many unsatisfactory results, throughout the years, to iron my shirts the way you have shown.
🎯🎯🤝
This is the first time I've found your video. Japan needs you.
🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🤝🥂
I always iron my shirts and my other clothes inside out. Protects the fibres and keeps them looking great for much longer.
I want to know about the perfume cabinet behind him. BTW do not store perfumes lighted up that way. I adore the iron. And he's wearing a Micky Mouse watch!
I really appreciated this and especially the direct and to the point style of demonstration. Please would you make one showing us how to iron trousers?
Thank you for the feedback and I hope it helps🤝🤝
Love the demonstration. Definitely learned quite a few techniques. Never one to iron the inside first like you did. Great tips all around. Thank you for posting! 😊❤
Our pleasure. . Glad it was helpful🤝🥂
Oh, así también planchaba yo las camisas de mi papá y abuelo. Así me lo enseñó mi abuela, excepto por el detalle de los puños afilados. Ahora plancho así las camisas de colegio de mi hija, espero también enseñarle bien a planchar, y si no me entiende, la remitiré a su vídeo, jajaja. Muchas gracias, este vídeo fue muy inspirador.
You are very welcome 🤝🥂
I have never loved ironing. Yet, this gent has made it an art. Thank you😊
Well thank you very much🤝
I still iron very similar, a couple of your tips have upped the ante to iron my shirts perfectly. I also iron my handkerchiefs, napkins and table cloths. In our throw away culture, I still darn my socks if required. Thanks mum. much appreciated.
Fantastic!🤝
When I did cleaning job for families long time ago and did not speak English, I used to iron14 shirts per hour.....Now I could do only 5 for my husband, ;). Could see the best Philips iron has been used.
Yes it’s a good iron, thank you . 14 in an hour done properly is good going!🥂
It amuses me that like you, I am proud of being good at shoe-shining and ironing.
If we care about these things…. Hopefully we care about the bigger picture 🤝🥂
Nearly correct! I was taught to iron the collar, cuffs and yoke before moving on to the sleeves and the rest of the shirt (ex serviceman).
There is more than one way to do it…. For me … the collar and cuffs are the main event so I do the collar last and sometimes the cuffs again at the end before hanging up. That way they do pick up any creases from being moved around, if ironed first .🤝
Any "double" parts first, then repeat at the end. Collar, cuffs and yoke.
Thank you! As a young man who has recently got a job that requires suit and tie, this video really helps. Love your style and content. Cheers from Norway
I’m glad it helps and good luck with your new job🤝🤝🥂
Magnificent video. I love ironing and I would like to know the brand and model of the iron.Thank you.
Been ironing everything since childhood, and still do proper ironing to this day, many decades later.
🥂🥂
Thank you so much Sir.. I searched everywhere how to iron office shirt but not understand as simple as yours. you have a professional quality
Thank you very much🤝
I'm ironing my shirts since I was 11 (since 1996) and this is more or less how I do it. Thank you sir!
🙏🙏🤝
Thank you sir. Its good i got this video for teaching my husband. As some guys dont listen to wife for perfection of work ..ironing.u reduced my work😊
This kind of shirt just was not much of a thing in my family for a couple of reasons. So I never learned this. Nowadays, usually my husband irons his shirts himself. But occasionally, I‘d like to help. So thank you for teaching me!
My pleasure🥂
I want that steam iron!! I’m impressed!!
Perfect, before hanging the shirt on the hanger I always pat out the shirt to reduce the wrinkels. Let it dry and iron it.
Learned how to iron in the military but picked up some tips from you. Thanks!
Thank you 🤝🥂
You seem very kind and classy. I wasn’t interested in the instructions since I already know how to iron, yet I enjoyed your video for your stylish and balanced charisma. I respect that. :)
Thank you very much🤝🤝
My grandmother and my mother insisted that we would go out into the world with properly pressed clothes. I press my own. I love to see that people still care. 😊
🤝🤝🤝
Thank you for a very good, gentlemanly instructions of how to iron a shirt to look as if came from the dry cleaners. I certainly learned a lot, thank you again.
Glad it was helpful!🤝🥂
This is the beauty of men.. truly gentleman, nice, clean and neat
🤝🤝🥂
Much respect to you sir, ironing with a suit and tie and wearing a Michey Mouse watch! 💪💪
I have a few Mickey Mouse watches 🤝🥂
I’m 85 and was taught at seven how to iron by my mother. Started doing my father’s handkerchiefs and progressed to more difficult pieces as I got older. Ten minutes to iron a shirt!, There were at least 21 shirts a week in my family five mins was maximum taken to complete a shirt
It depends on what they are made of .. my mother ironed 21-27 a week .., I often think of her when I’m ironing and how at a young age I sometimes took that for granted. 😕
@@rhodeswood5513 Cotton or linen and were starched
@@marionpearson8757 I obviously don’t do enough these days to get my speed up…. Going to time myself now !
I hv never learnt how to iron my shirts properly, thank you for posting this. Love that you have Tintin figure in the top shelf!
Thank you … I have a strange attraction to TinTin …watched it as a kid 🤝
Thank You for putting this together. It will come in handy the next time I need to iron a shirt.
🤝🤝
I used to work in dry cleaning shop and I can confirm that is indeed how you iron a shirt.
🙏🙏🥂
Loved your video. My father was a master tailor and like many here had a different ironing order but the attention to details were the same. We ironed suits right-side-up with the daily newspapers.
Thank you so much for making this video!! I already saved it and will be using it tomorrow when I'll be ironing my shirts
I hope that it helps 🙏🤝Thank you for watching🥂
I love a well pressed shirt. It looks so sharp.
🙏🙏🥂
Thank you for such a polished demonstration. I’ve always ironed the collar first, but I’m going to try your method next time.
Thank you… being open to try new ways is positive.. hope it works🤝
Thank you for making this informative and inspirational video. I’ve decided that I’ll stop showing up to work looking like $hit with wrinkly dress shirts and start ironing them.
Sounds like a plan 😂🤝
@johnpalacios5914 If you don’t have time to iron, keep a spray bottle of water handy, on mist, and spray it down, smoothing with your hand (while the item is hanging preferably, or draped). You’d be surprised how well it can turn out afterwards. Also try to make sure you hang them up rather than going through the dryer, or only dry about half the time, it helps with wrinkles and extends the life of your clothes. :)
That's a good tip re bending the collar around the knee. I'll adopt that. Though I am quite particular about NOT ironing over the pleats, so there's no crease in them.
I like your cuffs too. I did not know about not lifting the collar up to put on a tie! Will do your way for my husband. Thank you.
🙏🙏🤝
Excellent advice, thank you!
My pleasure Laura🤝
Thanks Michael Gove, great tips!
🤝😂
Simple chores like this instills discipline I believe... Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome!🥂
I'm taking notes, this was so informative.
🥂🥂
Great work. Particularly liked the details around cuff ironing. Thank you
Glad you liked it!🤝
I was taught this way by my late father who was an ex RAF officer,I also iron the pleats on the back of my shirt,(a piece of card measured to the dimension of the pleat,)
Love it!🤝🤝🥂
Thank you for sharing your technique!
You are so welcome🤝🤝
Really neat for my husband shirt👔 .Thank you for sharing🙏🏼
Thank you so much, you are a fine gentleman.I appreciate your tips very much. Have a beautiful day.Regards from Mexico.
Thank you for the tips and tricks. I picked up quite a few.
Glad it helped🤝
Routine things which make me remember my Dad, ironing shirts & shaving. 'Respect the pleats' 'crisp crease'
🤝🤝🥂
Great video, I’m impressed that you thought of addressing the subject. Personally I leave the collar up as the shirt is drying so it doesn’t get that sort of really worn in look from constantly being folded. Unlike you, I like to iron the fiddley bits first, because I find that I add wrinkles/creases to the body of the shirt as I am ironing it. So I iron the collar and cuffs first, the collar I iron the side that is hidden, or the side that does not touch the skin. Then I turn the sleeves inside out and iron them, and iron the body of the shirt from the inside as well, if I can. It’s fine for a 100% cotton shirt, but I can’t stand a shirt that goes shiny from ironing it. If a shirt gets a bit shiny, or I’m unhappy with something, I keep a spray bottle of water nearby to give it a quick mist.
Nothing but class. Well done.
Many thanks!🤝
Absolutely fantastic demonstration by the owner of this beautiful establishment. I have purchased many items of clothing and footwear from them and will continue because they are the best gentleman's clothing store in Harrogate and the UK, in my opinion. Well done and long may you stay in business for the next generations.
Thank you very much Martin. I hope that you are well 🤝🥂
A sharp pressed shirt makes the man I always think. Great video
Thank you!… it certainly helps along with good manners🤝
I iron my father's and brother shirt like this i learnt in my own now I know I m doing it right
