How To Iron A Suit, Blazer or Sport Coat - How To Press Suits, Sleeves, Back... Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gazette team provides comprehensive guidance on pressing a suit jacket or sport coat at home, covering steam-based methods for wool fabrics and detailed ironing techniques for various jacket components. They explain how to use affordable equipment like steamers, sleeve boards, and tailor’s hams to achieve professional results without expensive professional pressing equipment.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends steaming wool jackets as the easiest wrinkle-removal method, either by hanging in a steamy bathroom overnight or investing in a steamer (around $100)
• The Gazette team suggests using a pressing cloth, sleeve board, and tailor’s ham (totaling about $35) to properly press different jacket sections and maintain lapel roll—a key indicator of quality tailoring
• The Gazette team advises ironing sleeves with a gentle banana curve to maintain their natural shape, avoiding the military crease, and using steam on the sleeve head rather than hard pressing
