Creased Up Linen Trousers

[Marijn]

I wear my linen trousers all creased up because I don't like ironing. I wondered if most people DO iron their linen trousers , or not. I don't want to be the only one looking scruffy. Can you answer Yes or No to whether you iron them, just so I can see what the norm is. Thanks very much

No, come on ... be serious. How can you NOT iron linen trousers? Who would wear un-ironed linen trousers?

[ummmm]

How do people get away with not ironing? Do you chose your material carefully?

... awaiting cries of 'me', 'me', 'me'.......

.... but really?

I have lots of linen items, I iron them all. I like the crumpled look you get after you've worn linen clothes for five minutes, it's all part of the look, but I don't think I'd ever NOT iron any freshly washed linen clothes. However, I don't think it matters either way.

I iron them after a wash but if I can get another wear before washing I don't re iron. Linen is lovely it is entitled to be wrinkled.

Wolf you are definitely not the only one who never irons. A friend persuaded me to give up years ago, which wasn't a difficult decision for me. I have since persuaded two other friends to give up ironing and I hope they are doing their bit to pass it on. We just need to convince everyone else to be as scruffy as us then we'll all be happy.

I had a nice linen jacket once but it creased up as soon as I wore it, so it went to a charity shop. Never bought one since !

That's a shame Mikey
