I trained as a presser with a tailoring company in the 60’s. We used a separate sleeve board for the sleeves and a larger one to press the body of the jacket called a donkey. This had two sizes, a large one for mens jackets, flip it over and a smaller one for ladies jackets. They were covered with black wadding and either felt or white linen. Brings back great memories. I wish I could remember what we called the lapel roll from the top seam to the top button.
Sir, I am a professional wet cleaner from India. To be honest I learnt how a press a suit to perfection only after watching and learning from this video . Thank you . Arun Oliver.
Superb, you are a very good presser, I understand you because I am a presser as well, but the People who never done any pressing , they will understand you in theory but never in practice, as you know yourself pressing needs a lot af skills. I remember at the beginning when I started to do this job, started first with trousers they were falling from my hands for couple of months without doing any Jackets at that time, then after that I was getting better and better. Hope you understand my English writing, because English is my second language. Anyway I liked the way you have done that Jacket SIR…Top pressing skills from you, all the very best to you
@englishcut It might help to clarify that it's a three-roll-two jacket. One shouldn't try to press a high roll three button jacket into one of those. Thanks for the video. This was extremely helpful.

I was always told not to press direct on to dark fabrics direct but to put a cloth over material & press thru. that this way you reduced the risk of leaving a shine on the fabric
Tom, Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I am looking to buy a new iron, as I am trying out more tailoring skills in my sewing. Can you advise which iron you are using; fabulous steam!! Regards, Marysia
That's an AWESOME looking iron. I wonder if its a ROWENTA? You are great and thanks for posting this GREAT video! I really like that sleeve board. Is it custom made? Here in America our sleeve board are shorter. You Rock!
Last week at a hotel the maid took my suit by mistake and had it pressed (who knows what equipment, maybe too much steam ) and totally ruined the lapel. This was my first wear of a Hugo Boss Super 120 navy blue by Guabello. After this accidental press, the lapel has a crease, maybe more like a fold, that runs vertically from the vertex of the notch running down about 2 inches long, in both sides. How can I correct it? Thank you
Maybe the answer is late but I usually spray a water on heavy wrinkles and press it with steam at the same time, don't forget to put damp cloth between iron and fabric to prevent sheen.
