Between polyester which does not need to be ironed and fabrics screaming no way you will iron me, there is a wide variety of fabrics.
Some time ago I purchased a shirt which has a surprisingly stiff fabric (100 % cotton) and is hard to iron. It's not really wrinkled, rather big stubborn creases. Whenever I try to get rid of them and more or less fail I think that this fabric would be nice for trousers: it can hold a crease.
Since insulting a shirt while ironing it is not my favorite hobby I'd like to know if there is a way --without actually ironing it of course-- to tell whether a fabric will behave or not? I am not referring to polyester or chemical treatments, even amongst the untreated cotton there seems to be some variation.
