How To Iron Dress Pants, Trousers, Slacks, Chinos - Ironing Series Part III - Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to pressing dress trousers in the third installment of their ironing series. They explain why men hesitate to iron pants, detail the necessary equipment, and demonstrate step-by-step techniques for achieving perfect creases while avoiding shine and wrinkles on wool and cotton garments.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends essential tools including a sleeve board, tailor’s ham, clapper, spray bottle, and either a damp cloth or Teflon iron sole to protect wool trousers from shine
• The Gazette team advises starting with wool trousers as they wrinkle less than cotton, and emphasizes minimizing fabric layers during pressing to prevent steam from creating creases on the underside
• The Gazette team demonstrates using a clapper to set sharp creases in pleated trousers and cautions against excessive steam pressure on a standard ironing board, which can create unwanted impressions on the opposite side
• The Gazette team suggests pulling fabric taut before ironing, using small controlled motions rather than rapid back-and-forth movements, and always ironing toward the iron’s tip for optimal results
