Creases ironed into a shirt sleeve - non-U?

[OwlFeathersFluff]

DH maintains shirt creases are fine and everyone at work has them. I maintain he's wrong!

Which one of us is right?

How do you iron them with out a crease?

I read on here that blouses shouldnt have a crease but mens shirts should. But i dont know how you would do it with out a crease so the dds school shorts still have them.

You need a sleeve board to avoid creases in sleeves.

I used to have one, but life is too short.

Formal shirts should have a crease.
Anything else you can get to dry and be presentable without having to iron - fine.

Non u?

Mitford's don't iron their own clothes. That's where you're going wrong OP.

Oh my goodness, as in non upper class? How completely ridiculous. op if that really is your burning question, then you'd best send said shirts out for ironing professionally.

Christ, is this all you have to worry about?

Nobody will give a fiddler's fuck about the crease in your DH's shirt sleeves.

HTH.

I'm minded of that expression "You'd worry a lot less about what people thought of you if you realised how seldom they did".

Creases just look WRONG. I manage to do them without a sleeve board.
Just turn sleeve so the seam is halfway, then press. Turn normally and press both sides. As long as you avoid the place where the crease (I can hardly bear even saying the word) would be, you will be perfectly turned out.

I can't stand them in trousers either.

Am I a weird?

But Aye, I actually would mind.

I would think your DH had a wife who didn't care! Even if you have a 'lady that does', you, as his wife, should make sure he is perfectly turned out.

My mother used to iron creases into jeans.

I imagine the kind of people who iron creases in their jeans would be horrified to be forced to eat a slice of pizza without a knife and fork.

But you ARE non-u OP

So what is the point?

Oh dear lord, I'll need to hide my phone - finally someone who agrees with my DH that shirt sleeves shouldn't have creases.

Ironing then without creases is a complete pain in the neck and takes twice as long.

We have come to a happy compromise, if he doesn't want creases, he irons his own shirts.

Works well for me.

Of course shirts should have a crease in them. It's the newspaper that should be crease free.

Maybe she's dictating her posts to her parlour maid

I had an uncle (until my aunt divorced him!) who insisted shirts shouldn't have creases. Never occurred to me that itxwas a class thing.

Dh, ex army, is very particular about creases and don't most of the rules about appearance in the army originate with the upper class?

Sleeve creases are not allowed in the forces, well not in the Air Force but I think you should let him iron his shirt any way he pleases.

The maid puts sharp creases in everything, including socks and knickers, what can you do .

I have heard of this - but I have also chosen to ignore it for many years - that is interesting about the forces though.....

Err, yes they are. I've been ironing RAF shirts for 22 years...
