Ironing raincoats

Any ideas? I have an aquascutum Wyncol (cotton and polyester blend) raincoat that has developed some wrinkles. I'm leaning towards getting it steamed and pressed at a drycleaner or tailor.

What do the instructions on the jacket say? Read it and plan accordingly.

Look at the care label, for things like this... 700

I agree with what Joffrey and MikeDT have stated. Abide by the care symbols on the raincoat. If unsure, contact Aquascutum directly. Inquire also as to whether or not the raincoat in question was factory pre-treated with any water repellant chemical.
I am not saying it was, but if that were the case, it could contrbute as to why not to iron or steam press as this may cause damage to the coat. Also, the polyester in the blend could be damaged by direct heat. Confirm with Aquascutum....and give us an update please. Lastly, just a friendly reminder to post photos when making a post like this. It can make a massive difference to the responses you receive. Best of luck.
