 @Frances_Larina @failedLyndonLaRouchite @robb Genuine question: Is it really just lower fabric quality that makes e.g. business shirts “non-iron”? Or is it some other properties of the fabric, such as the weave, that makes it less prone to wrinkling? (I’m thinking of business shirts here, bit fast fashion) 3 comments
@slothrop @Frances_Larina @failedLyndonLaRouchite @robb here's an overview of some wrinkle resistant finishes: basically, coat the fabric in a resin. Which kind does your shirt have? No, we're not going to put that on the label for you. @slothrop @Frances_Larina @failedLyndonLaRouchite @robb an investigation into wrinkle resistant coatings and other chemicals in clothing |

Ok everyone, it looks like our patron saint on Team Fuck Ironing is Ruth R. Benerito, who in the 1950s invented a process to make cotton wrinkle-free:

Plus of course the hippies and other assorted subcultures, who freed us from the tyranny of having to dress properly.
