T.M.Lewin | How To Iron A Shirt

[@giokcs]

Nothing is more satisfying than a man ironing his shirt with a British accent.

[@myusernameistaken23]

I bet you're gay

[@cenafayeartstyl2284]

It's like a turn on to me. A man that grooms himself well and keeps his clothes together it so attractive n has the nerve to have an accent lol I love it

[@basicsurfer08]

giokcs You are suffering from accent wankers syndrome

[@postscript67]

I prefer to use an iron myself.

[@HosterJack]

Manners maketh man.

[@SeanArmitageMusic]

one man's three minutes is another man's 3 hours

[@SpicyDragonWings]

ain't nobody got time for that

[@FasterThanSoup]

truth

[@ashishking321]

You got me

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

Actually, I just need to note down the order and make a checklist. Then I get to iron my shirts one by one, by the end of the second hour it gets down to 5 mins from roughly 25 when I started in the beginning.

[@umaaggarwal4790]

When they show the video, it's covered with the strip where they show written directions

[@dang5118]

Dude, I know it's been a while since you uploaded anything, but seriously, for me, this is the most helpful "how-to-iron" video I've seen. That tip about putting pressure on the back of the iron instead of the tip saved me. Thank you.

[@sabreenamaryharris4087]

The easiest way to iron a shirt, in my opinion is to give it to someone else to iron it.

[@sasakihaise3224]

good one..haha

[@NadoMIA1337]

Preferably a female *waits for angry female to comment back*

[@mariviclingcon3260]

Sabreena Mary HARRIS ...😇...my best work... ironing

[@Mr.Moose5000]

I watched this video the same day he uploaded it. Ive iron hundreds of shirts i even do it faster than my wife. He showed me well. Excellent tutorial

[@jontrewfrombarry]

My Nan said always start with the back (underside) of the collar, not the arms as you have. She said if your iron is too hot, or you've picked up something sticky or burnt on your iron - you've only damaged the underside of the collar and not ruined the whole shirt. No one will ever see marks on the underside of the collar. You can still wear the shirt (unless you are a 70's disco dancer.) I've done as she said and she was right. I've almost ruined a few shirts in my time but instead got away with an unseen stain or mark on the underside of the collar. Thanks Nan!

[@RVNmax]

Brilliant tip!

[@Anybanks]

why am I watching this at 3am, I can't even afford an iron

You sir just made a huge impact on my life in 4m 15s - You have no idea - for 20 years I've been struggling with this very simple task - my mind has officially been blown. Cheers mate!

[@gypsieking210]

I find this strangely relaxing to watch

[@kylelongchamps3573]

Check out asmr vids

[@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!

[@virtuoz17]

Now that's the real iron man

[@anujmchitale]

You deserved lot more likes!

[@akismat]

Before this video, ironing shirts was a nightmare. Now seeing the results it is a pure pleasure ! By far the best tutorial !!!

[@happyday9710]

My grandparents were from england and wales. I remember my grmother teaching me how to iron clothes. Your demo was exactly how she taught me. Brought back happy memories. Thank you. By the way the best demo.

[@Juicypaint]

I have over 100 shirts to iron from my brother in law who died recently. These are really nice, expensive, many hand made shirts. I've never ironed anything. Thank you for your video. I'm learning a lot about ironing on KZbin.

[@Efficks]

Mine always come out with more creases than I started with

[@Zen09]

+Brandelis i feel u bro

[@windshearahead7012]

Brandelis LMFAO

[@AveDeFruta]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You just saved this mother of two small children (and 7 months pregnant) soooo much time. I used to spend a horrendously long amount of time ironing. I just ironed using your tips and averaged about 5-6 minutes per dress shirt!

[@hsystem223]

It goes without saying that we learn things one time. I always wondered why iron boards have this kind of shape.I always ironed my shirts using the top of the board only. I didn't know you could insert the edge of the board inside the shirt. LOLL. Thanks John.

[@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.

[@Ducc_jpg]

I have never ironed in my life (because I'm 12) but my parents were away and I needed it for school, now I hope this video has taught me how to do it and hasn't caused me problems with my shirt, otherwise thanks for the help

[@ilcabrone]

I know it was a year ago but… How did it go?

[@Ducc_jpg]

It actually went pretty well, I now iron all of my shirts and do it pretty well

[@supermario.17]

Joey Galvin Congrats man! There are a few like you out there!

[@Doggaebi.]

Well done mate that's impressive

[@gauravsharmamunirka]

[@ourochroma]

I laughed wayyy to hard at this

[@hijabnaqvi4432]

What an ironic pun.

[@KMHrock89]

Got too many irons in the fire, eh?

[@zoeturner1371]

Great video! I'm a good kroner but wanted to refine my technique before starting a load today! My mum taught me the same but not to do up the top button so I'll try that too! Secret is to have a good steam iron though to iron anything well. Many thanks. Shirt looks great and didn't need you to show me how to iron a second sleeve! I got it the first time. Lol ;-). Comments before were a bit daft about not ironing the second sleeve. Great a guy is showing how to too. All men should learn to iron as it's not just for women to do!

[@antikoerper256]

That tip about putting the pressure on the back of the iron instead of on the front made the real difference, thanks

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

Huh. I usually iron both sleeves. Maybe I'm just weird though.

[@BahaG1]

hahah nice one

[@CarloPiana]

Yeah, what's wrong with the other sleeve? Aren't we supposed to have it done? ;-)

[@edziuhersthey2313]

@Green Giant "Sure, iron both sleeves if you want to be like everyone else..." Sheeple! Amirite?

[@daanishmanzoor1]

I used to iron shirts with my face. This video is going to save me a lot of time.

[@MrElitesense]

My first day at a REAL job this week so thanks!! I wore a suit to the interview but the cleaners did this for me. This really helps a lot, the trick with buttoning the top button helps

[@chazzerguy]

Excellent video... I've been ironing my shirts for year and I never thought about buttoning up the collar like that... Well done! Very helpful.

[@PokerQueen87]

He makes it look so easy but while i iron, i actually create new wrinkles

[@alhelm]

Life saver! Just had my first successful shirt ironing after a bunch of botched attempts. It's still kind of wrinkly but it'll do. Full *steam* ahead. Thank you, kind British Internet stranger.

[@RedWisent]

This is indeed the best shirt ironing tutorial out there. The hints regarding pressing on the back of the iron as opposed to the front in order to eliminate ripples was particularly helpful. I'm still having difficulty with the sleeves though, even though I've been ironing for a good 10 years. Ironing one side creates unwanted creases on the other and I find it difficult to straighten out he sleeve as you say. I also get those ripples across the side edges. Any further hints?

[@The100jak]

Thank you very much for posting this video. You have revolutionized my shirt ironing! I purchased a decent iron and followed your directions - I saved $40 on dry cleaning bills on my first batch. I actually really enjoyed ironing for the first time in my life. Thank you!

[@IranianImmortal]

When you watch this video it seems to be easy but when you do it it's hard and annoying.

[@IranianImmortal]

@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches Ok bob

[@chuckali]

After all these years I finally had the idea to watch videos for ironing, this one gave me hope. It might take a bit of practice but it makes sense. He gave good tricks too.

[@dinobert06]

This video is the perfect precursor to a nap

[@darthdisious8887]

haha I am using his videos in order to fall a sleep xD

[@kup4ever]

Its called asmr

[@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.

[@andreafranceschin5890]

After "how to tie your tie" this is the most useful video I have seen recently 😄😊

[@dr.s.p.]

Every man should see this video and your other on how to fold a shirt and also how to “press” your trousers. Great videos. Thank you.

[@MarushDenchev]

The most valuable 4 minutes I ever spent on KZbin!

[@GuiltySpark21]

I'm very particular about ironing shirts, have been from an early age. I thought I had it down to a fine art but I noticed a couple of things in this video which I'm going to try which should improve my technique. Great video thanks.

[@raustzeal4212]

You should be able to iron a shirt in 3 minutes! 6 seconds later. "leave the spray to soak in for a few minutes!"....

[@Macron87]

Raust Zachery And in those minutes... you iron other shirts. You didn’t have a point, and 121 people are as daft as you.

[@briancollins4569]

MKRM27 but that shirt itself has still taken longer than 3 minutes.. so the point still stands.

[@kennedymutiti1826]

Technically he hasn’t started ironing the actual shirt yet that’s just prep work

[@istvanklein]

Brian Collins - No it didn't. It took even less than 3 minutes. It started at 1:12 and ended at 3:48.

[@bluephoenix111]

Yes, yes it is. Compared to your other videos, the sound is drastically low. On a separate note, this is how I ironed my shirt today, and I felt AWESOME wearing it :)

[@kaitepaua6783]

He is the Gordon Ramsay of ironing

[@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!!!

[@2620bluntsmoker]

Thank your Sir! 4 minutes ago i was kinda panicking cus i was about to iron a shirt for the first time. But this made me calmer.

[@patriciabailhaodasilva5928]

I enjoy watching this gentleman ironing it. It’s so smooth

[@sarafalcone6016]

I love how he explains everything Thank you

[@MpDay]

Wearing a properly ironed shirt is one of the first serious steps in life, and TM Lewin does an excellent job with this video. Love the comment @ 3:38 though: "I go between the buttons, not over them..."

[@ackthbbft]

For shirts, you should use the other end of the ironing board, as the wider square area will allow you to iron a similarly wider area of the shirt without extra rotations. You should be able to do each front half, and more than half the back with each part of the rotation. That will cut your ironing time even more.

[@mirad115]

ackthbbft the other end has a convenient place for the iron on all boards so your suggestion could prove impossible

[@DarkRaven40011]

Saved my day! Wrestling with a new shirt, making it worse by all accounts trying to iron it. Watched this vid and got rid of the creases! Not down to 3 mins but still, it worked! Thanks

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I don't think I've ever used an iron for anything other than making a grilled cheese

[@TheBearEzentials]

A true gentleman of style. I am a student in awe.

[@ekalisty]

Thanks Sir, I have saved lots of time after applying your technique!

[@hugothebear]

very pleased to see that you iron a french cuff flat without a hard crease at the front - they look so much better just folded and secured by a cufflink...

[@Winamp_]

this dude is king of iron!

[@MegaAnarcist]

Winamp you mean he's the Ironking 😂

[@shivanimalik6739]

at times my husband gets angry how badly i iron his shirt, but after watching your way i have learnt a lot, thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for this video, God bless You :-)

[@TheCaddy84]

I got crap clothes but still iron them and I never knew what was cause of ripples and come to find out its form pushing on the front of the iron. Always rushing. Glad I made time to watch these vids. Thanks!

[@DragminerFerdinand]

but i like your vid man reduces my time to iron my shirt from 45-1hr to just 20 mins. seriously i need more practice...

[@Italiangoodfella]

The more I Watch your video the more I am learning how to iron a shirt. Greetings from Italy

[@Powered_By_Pies]

"Ironing divides the nation.." Oh, John. If only you knew.

[@Tritwop]

Helpful tips, no question. Semantics though, you've said a few times it takes 3 minutes. It takes a few minutes before you start to let the mist soak in, and another 10 minutes after to hang, so it really can't be much less than 20 minutes. The collar, and tip on the pesky ripples though was very helpful

[@bassistpromusic7445]

This is the God of the Iron!

[@Khatsalano]

Straight from Jermyn Street ... you know it's the real deal. :) Keeping us looking sharp-- even in California where flip flops and t-shirts have become the standard uniform, some of us still appreciate a tailored shirt from the source and appropriate instructions on how to care for it.

Fed up of taking my husbands shirts back and forth to the dry cleaners. Decided to start ironing them myself again. Good tips.

[@blueangel7380]

you can cut those 3 minutes in half by only ironing the front of the shirt. this way you will save time and always have good first impressions.

Brilliant

[@mw3gamerJg]

Yah but he did iron it in 3 minutes right ? Dumbass

[@JarodBillingslea]

MarkY MarC and forgot to iron the other sleeve

[@evaveva7200]

cluber..... and if you listened, he DID say spray it....as PREP before ironing it..

[@acy24boo]

It is amazing how easily that was demonstrated and to be applied thank you for showing a more efficient technique to this chore which no longer is a task

[@Elliotdoesloans]

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

[@tszliu1973]

Still watching this video and noticed this is 12 years ago! So awesomely instructions of how to iron!

[@akilvarmantikvar]

no no no no, the sleeves are never that easy. no matter how much i stretch it, i always end up creating wrinkles on the bottom side of the sleeve when i press the iron on the top side.

[@maromikun]

Doing the top button is an excellent trick! This man is a proper Dapper Dan.

[@sexcxcx]

10th time I watch this video. still hate ironing...

[@fdama]

This is great. I iron a shirt every weekday for work and i learnt some good tips here. Thanks John Francomb.

[@rocktrain101]

3 minutes??! It took him 4 minutes and they cut away shots from the video!

[@gokulhemanthkumar4556]

+Dania Hamdan The video length is 4:14 and the ironing start at around 1:09, so that's around 3 minutes.

[@8701michael]

He fast forwarded so many times and still took more than 3 minutes, and on top of that, as long as the iron touches the material, it's good enough for him, results will not be sufficient for me.

[@AlexanderDigholm]

This is an instructional video. He is explaining how to do what he does while ironing. If he would just iron it without talking or stopping to explain all the time, he would easily do it in 3 minutes. You can see how masterful he is just by the motions he does not only with the iron but also how he quickly moves the shirt around on the ironing board. This is a master at work showing you the technique he's using. Just follow this technique and it might start with taking you 10 minutes, while going just a bit faster the more you do it. It takes work and practice to become great at something.

[@wtfdidyousay]

i work at a cleaners and i might be able to help you it might be a few things maybe your iron is too hot and causes the starch to crystalize or maybe the type of fabric your shirt is starch can stain your clothes if you use too much or if your spraying too close one very important tip is before you spray starch on any clothes spray away then on the shirt usually the cans will form little bubbles that spray a lot and stain your clothes and iron after maybe 5 mins or 10 dont let it dry completely

[@Azoazo1]

It took me 3 seconds to forward to husband so he can do in 3 minutes.

[@jacquiblue3006]

I love the trick of buttoning the top button to whirl it round the board - and practice makes perfect :)

[@iam_nick]

I have only 75 seconds to iron my shirt in the morning. hmm

[@sytestorm]

+Nickolas Lim Do it in the night before?

[@nestr2007]

You sir are going to save me a ton of time. Thank you for the video. Is there a specific iron that you may recommend?

[@McRonson]

I work in a drycleaners and used to find TM Lewin shirts, the cuffs especially, VERY hard to do but one day my boss showed me how to master them and this video does skimp on this but otherwise...it's excellent!

[@paulbutler75]

Nice video well done the one thing I do differently I iron the collar from both sides to the center to avoid possible wrinkle at the end
