Ironing a Suit

[qwertyas]

I recently purchased a Zenga suit. I think its prob a mid range one cost me AUD2.5k.

I've worn it a few times but its got quite a few wrinkles on the back. Is it ok to iron? This is my first "real" suit so I'm trying to be extra careful

Did you try putting it into a steamy shower?

 

[either/or]

-you did search, didn't you?

suit in the shower? guide to touching up your suit without wrecking it

steamy showers are good to bang hot chicks in, not to hang suits in. here's how you should iron one.

Read about what JefferyD says about pressing a coat. Pressing is setting the iron on and then lifting. Ironing is pushing the iron, which can stretch the cloth and ruin the coat. And, always use a press cloth between the iron and garment, except shirts you don't need. Press cloth can be damp. Make sure the iron is not tooooo hot. If it not hot enough you are wasting your time. If the iron is to hot you will be wasting time earning money to buy a new coat.
