Poor guy.....guess you weren't in the military or you would have had to learn how to press your shirts. Expertly, might I add.

step by step:
1. iron the back of the shirt
2. iron the back yoke of the shirt ( the shoulder area in the back)
3. iron the right side of the front of the shirt paying special attention to pocket and
placket ( that's the area along the front where the button holes are)
4. iron the left side of the front of the shirt
5. iron each sleeve, fold the sleeve along the seam line from under arm to cuff, then press from shoulder to cuff, adding a crease
6. iron cuffs
7. iron collar

Seriously not that hard......

No iron shirts are much better, but you could press those shirts that need ironing while watching football, golf, bowling, basketball or the news.

My feeling is that everyone (man or woman) needs to know how to take care of their clothing. If you don't iron, don't buy shirts that need ironing.
