Gregory's Server@robb I've wondered for a while what ironing is really for? Did it used to extend the life of the clothes? Or?

@PedalHoppy @robb I pretty much wear all line-dried natural fabrics (no starch added) and the wrinkles usually come out within a few minutes of wear?  There's something extremely nice to getting into a bed with sheets on it that have been ironed. It's just an extra touch. Dress shirts should be ironed imho if you want them to look the part, otherwise you get a general frumpled look. @bike@regenerate.social @robb@social.lol To make clothes look good rather than 'Just pulled out of the wash basket'. |
@bike @robb Without any evidence or research I would surmise that ironing would not only smooth out wrinkles but soften the fabric and make it more comfortable (presuming no starch added) - makes sense if everything is line dried but if you use a dryer completely redundant?? Also remember all natural fabrics until quite recently.
