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.
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.😊
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.
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.
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 😊
I found ironning shirts very attractive and addictive to me. I mean it seriously. Especially when you see your shirts are almost as same as a brand new one!
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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 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!
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. 😊
Jeremy, I appreciate your videos immensely. My Mother taught me to iron a shirt and to cook, due to a disaster at the time. My father, a public servant was almost cut in half by a drunk driver in a truck van. He died twice on the operating table, but a surgeon brought him back. Dad lived to be 97. But, when the horror happened😂😂, my mother sat me down and said I needed to help her. We had a coal-fired heating system. I took over stoking the daily fire and monitoring the coal bin level. She taught me how to cook for the family, a skill I have never regretted acquiring . And she taught me bow to iron a shirt, just as you related herein. The important point from this long-winded comment is that I learned some adult male skills out of a near tragedy. The important things were my father lived and despite years of reconstructive surgery went on to become a pioneer in his field and his 9 year old son gained some life skills that likely would not have accrued in me without this circumstance. Thank you for making these skills available for all of us. I also appreciate your taste in so many things like ties, leather goods, watches and more. I come from a different world and likely lower income level at the moment. LAUGH, I remember my father mowing the lawn prior to his accident in a 2-piece suit and tie, but I do not think I ever ironed a shirt similarly attired.😅
Let me add. No man should ever be tempted to enter into a relationship with someone or fear being on their own, because they know not the basic skills of being a successful, competent man (or woman). I urge you to continue sharing these life skills you have so richly absorbed in your life.
My grandfather was a shirt and pyjama manufacturer and I was taught how to iron shirts when I was very young. I’m in my 60s now but it’s stayed with me. Your tips are almost identical. Great video!
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 !….
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.
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!
What an absolute delight this was to watch! Now recently retired and unfortunately recently single, this was a fine reminder of better times and how I was a stickler for proper dressing. How times have changed. Thank you for this essential gentleman's skill demonstration. All the best, Rob in Switzerland PS. My own technique is practically identical.
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
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! 😊❤
I hadn't realized the importance of the yoke until watching this video. It's the chassis that everything else is built on. Many thanks for your videos.
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.
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.
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*
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?
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 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.
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
it was so much fun watching it. since childhood ,my father used to iron his shirts,then i did many times on growing up, but never very good way. after marriage, my spouse got dry cleaned. today i watched each step with fun,to teach now to my daughter, how to iron shirt . lots of thanks. i really enjoyed video.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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
There are many gentlemen's guide to this or that on the internet. But a gentleman's guide to ironing a shirt I have never seen. And making it look easy, while wearing a suit! Truly unique! Only James Bond himself could do it so causally.
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. :)
I am happy to know that I have been getting most of it right as I am self taught. I did learn that i need to iron the inside of the cuffs from this video. Thank you sir.
ironing is a absurd pleasure of mine when i had the incentive, especially steam iron, pressing the water dispenser and hearing its sound, i say this is quite advanced.
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 .🤝
Hello Jeremy, thank you for such a well documented and enjoyable video. I take pleasure in ironing my own shirts (I find it extremely therapeutic) and I was so glad to confirm several techniques I developed on my own, but best of all was learning some new and more efficient tricks. I feel more empowered for my next session! Cheers from Texas 🥃
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 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.
@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. :)
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.
Don’t ever do what he done 2:58, rest your iron on the garment while you prepare the next section to be ironed. You’ll scorch your shirts before you know it.
True …. But I didn’t scorch it. But you are right !..not recommended practice . I know the iron and the fabric, so there is a small window .. different for every iron and fabric.👔🤝
@@rhodeswood5513 yes we sometimes think we’ll leave it just a few seconds but then get carried away with the next section and forget about the iron. Burnt shirt. It happens to the best of us.
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 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!
@@windsorpatb I work in jeans and t shirts and only wear a suit and dress shirt on very rare occasions. I have no need to own an iron or ironing board. Trust me I love the look of a suit, I've always wanted to get a nice custom tailored expensive suit, but I cant justify that expense since I'd basically never wear it. I wish I was a 1920s era gangster and i could wear a suit all day everyday but its not practical for me lol.
@@doc-holliday-Even a couple of collared shirts for the weekend would really be a nice touch. Purchase them iron free and wear them out. You don’t have to iron them. ❤
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.
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!
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?

Of late I have stopped ironing out on the hanger or fold as soon dried both ways avoid ironing unless a must must day to a special day

wow thats a lot. I own dryclean depot and i have ironed about 27,000 shirts in 10 years. probably max 40 a day!
My hat goes off to your grandma! She IS a legend.
An Iron lady indeed!😮

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.
My dad used to iron Tueadays too. He always said it was therapeutic for him. It forks for me too
Loved to see you ironing your shirt while wearing suit and tie. Such a gentleman,
Thank you 🤝🥂
Never thought I would enjoy ironing a shirt video so much. 👍
Well thank you🥂
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 🤝🥂
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.
I made an audible gasp when I noticed that stationary iron as well.
In a world of overly casual dress, we need more videos like this. Nothing like being sartorially resplendent!

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.
I found ironning shirts very attractive and addictive to me. I mean it seriously. Especially when you see your shirts are almost as same as a brand new one!
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been ironing my shirts and trousers for over more than fifty years.. still I had something to learn from this video
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🤝🤝
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!🤝
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!

I have never loved ironing. Yet, this gent has made it an art. Thank you😊
Well thank you very much🤝
Strangely satisfying to watch. Classy and informative.
Jeremy, I appreciate your videos immensely. My Mother taught me to iron a shirt and to cook, due to a disaster at the time. My father, a public servant was almost cut in half by a drunk driver in a truck van. He died twice on the operating table, but a surgeon brought him back. Dad lived to be 97. But, when the horror happened😂😂, my mother sat me down and said I needed to help her. We had a coal-fired heating system. I took over stoking the daily fire and monitoring the coal bin level. She taught me how to cook for the family, a skill I have never regretted acquiring . And she taught me bow to iron a shirt, just as you related herein.
The important point from this long-winded comment is that I learned some adult male skills out of a near tragedy. The important things were my father lived and despite years of reconstructive surgery went on to become a pioneer in his field and his 9 year old son gained some life skills that likely would not have accrued in me without this circumstance.
Thank you for making these skills available for all of us. I also appreciate your taste in so many things like ties, leather goods, watches and more. I come from a different world and likely lower income level at the moment. LAUGH, I remember my father mowing the lawn prior to his accident in a 2-piece suit and tie, but I do not think I ever ironed a shirt similarly attired.😅
🙏🙏you learned some wonderful skills… cooking is a passion as well as a necessity 🤝🥂
Let me add. No man should ever be tempted to enter into a relationship with someone or fear being on their own, because they know not the basic skills of being a successful, competent man (or woman). I urge you to continue sharing these life skills you have so richly absorbed in your life.
There is nothing like a elegant man, wearing a shirt Women are demanding

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
Thank you for the tips and tricks. I picked up quite a few.
Glad it helped🤝
Great video! Could you do one on how to properly press trousers at home to get a nice crease as well as remove wrinkles between the thighs?
Great idea!…will do 🤝🥂
I am happy to know that I have been getting most of it right as I am self taught. I did learn that i need to iron the inside of the cuffs from this video. Thank you sir.
Wonderful!🤝🤝
Nothing but class. Well done.
Many thanks!🤝
ironing is a absurd pleasure of mine when i had the incentive, especially steam iron, pressing the water dispenser and hearing its sound, i say this is quite advanced.
This is the first time I've found your video.
Japan needs you.
🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🤝🥂
Learned how to iron in the military but picked up some tips from you. Thanks!
Thank you 🤝🥂
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 admire professionalism, in every field. Thanks.
Thank you🤝
So relaxing watching this gentleman ironing. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it🥂
Great work. Particularly liked the details around cuff ironing. Thank you
Glad you liked it!🤝
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.
Fantastic video! That is how I iron dress shirts. I'm glad I've been doing right all these years. 😊
Thank you 🤝🤝🥂
That was brilliant! I learned a lot from it, thanks for sharing your skills!
Glad you enjoyed it!🤝
Hello Jeremy, thank you for such a well documented and enjoyable video. I take pleasure in ironing my own shirts (I find it extremely therapeutic) and I was so glad to confirm several techniques I developed on my own, but best of all was learning some new and more efficient tricks. I feel more empowered for my next session! Cheers from Texas 🥃
Fantastic!… thank you 🙏🥂
Much respect to you sir, ironing with a suit and tie and wearing a Michey Mouse watch! 💪💪
I have a few Mickey Mouse watches 🤝🥂
Amazed by perfection & effort, learned so many parts of shirt today
🤝🤝🙏
‘On the edge of being dry’. Now there’s a phrase.
🤓🤓🤝
Exactly as it should be!!👍
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🤝🤝👔
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. :)
Been ironing everything since childhood, and still do proper ironing to this day, many decades later.
🥂🥂
A lost art. Thank you great tips.
Thank you very much
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.
Don’t ever do what he done 2:58, rest your iron on the garment while you prepare the next section to be ironed. You’ll scorch your shirts before you know it.
True …. But I didn’t scorch it.
But you are right !..not recommended practice . I know the iron and the fabric, so there is a small window .. different for every iron and fabric.👔🤝
You will burn the fabric if you rest your iron on your shirt . NEVER DO THAT!
@@rhodeswood5513 yes we sometimes think we’ll leave it just a few seconds but then get carried away with the next section and forget about the iron. Burnt shirt. It happens to the best of us.
I’m 70 I’ve been ironing since I was 10 it’s amazing how many men can’t iron …. Great channel
🤝🤝🤝
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!
Well done in ironning this wonderful shirt. I like it. I've already saved this video into my collections. Thank you sir.
Your skill shows! I wonder how you fold items to pack for a trip and keep them tidy and as close to ironed as possible?
I think that’s a worthy future video 🤝🥂
This bloke knows what he’s doing. Showed that shirt who’s boss lickity split.
😂🙏🙏🤝👔👔👔
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 🤝🥂
I dont own an iron, an ironing board, or a shirt worth ironing. Yet here i am watching this
😂😂👔👔🤝🤝
Doc, don't be a sneaker. You are judged on your appearance.
@@windsorpatb I work in jeans and t shirts and only wear a suit and dress shirt on very rare occasions. I have no need to own an iron or ironing board.
Trust me I love the look of a suit, I've always wanted to get a nice custom tailored expensive suit, but I cant justify that expense since I'd basically never wear it. I wish I was a 1920s era gangster and i could wear a suit all day everyday but its not practical for me lol.
@@doc-holliday-Even a couple of collared shirts for the weekend would really be a nice touch. Purchase them iron free and wear them out. You don’t have to iron them. ❤
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.
I ironed all my life....😂😂😂
Thank You for putting this together. It will come in handy the next time I need to iron a shirt.
🤝🤝
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🥂
