00:00 How To Iron Dress Pants Introduction
They perceive it as being quite difficult. Most dress pants are made of wool and it's very easy to end up with a shiny pair of pants that looks cheap and worn out. On top of that, ironing the pleats in the right way and especially the rise and the area on top are not easy things but they're definitely manageable.
00:47 So How Do I Iron Pants?
It all starts with the prep work. Of course, you need an ironing table and iron. On top of that I suggest investing into a sleeve board with a wider end and a slimmer and a spray bottle, a cloth as well as a clapper which is a wooden block. In addition to that, you can add a tailor's ham which looks like a cushion but is actually filled with sawdust. It's very stiff it helps to get the round areas in the garment ironed perfectly.
When it comes to pants, wool is much more wrinkle resistant than cotton. A vacuum ironing board can really help to get better results more easily because it sucks out all the moist air. For best pants ironing results, you want to iron as few layers as possible simply because when you iron steam is trapped at a bottom layer which creates wrinkles there.
If you have pleated pants you want the creases to be really sharp. To achieve that you want to use a so-called clapper it's nothing but a piece of wood usually oak that is not varnished and not stained and it doesn't have sap. It helps to remove the excess moisture and simply creates a very smooth crisp result. You can also use it in areas where you see wrinkles or waves because there's simply too much steam. If you're concerned about ending up with shiny trousers always add a damp cloth in between. It could be an old t-shirt that has been washed for many times in any case you want something that's lint-free.
Once I'm done with the top part of the pants it's time for the legs. First of all I lay down the pants with the hems facing my iron. I'm trying to find the existing crease and iron over it again. I also wanna make sure the bottom layer of the pant leg is laid flat as possible. You may have to wiggle it around a little bit to find the perfect crease so it's exactly where it was before. Now inside at the bottom, a vacuum table really helps to get the better crease and to iron your pants much faster. Again in order to get that perfect crispness, you want the clapper. Once I'm done with the front pleat of the pant leg I iron that little part of the pants very carefully because I don't want to create any wrinkles on the outside or the backside of the pant leg. Once I'm done with that and everything is flat I can look at the back crease.
Of course, cotton is much more prone to wrinkling than wool and because of that, it's harder to iron especially as a pair of pants. Also, it's more difficult to iron a dry pair of cotton pants instead of a wet one. Of course, you don't want it to be too wet and if you have a dry pair of pants simply spray it with water put it in a plastic bag for 10-15 minutes and then iron. It'll make life much easier for you. So what do you do if let's say your chinos do not have pleats but you want them. Well, first of all, keep in mind there must be enough fabric because pleats use up more fabric than flat front pants. If there's enough fabric I suggest you fold the pants based on the hem. Usually, you can line up the inside side seams of the pant legs with one another on each pant leg and that gives you a very good idea of where the crease has to be because ideally, you want to in the middle of the front kneecap. Honestly, the steps are the same. First I lay out my pants, I fold up one pant leg so I just have one in front of me and I start ironing the front crease. Again it can be a little more tricky because cotton has more wrinkles and you have to lie it really really flat. If your pants have cuffs I also press those and I get the pleat in there too. Again use the clapper it will make your life much easier.

Met Sven in person, and yes there was a guy with wearable drums keeping the tempo of his speech.
lol
If I buy all of that I'm not just ironing my pants I'm gonna go into business.
Lol come back to this legendary comment after 1 year :)
😂😂😂
As always informative and entertaining. This has fast become my favorite channel. Keep up the superb quality.
I'm really liking the waistcoat, and I do agree there is more than meets the eye when ironing pants. With all the clothes you have this video makes me think you iron all day.
I swear if I had the money, and I wore suits regularly, I would pay someone to do my ironing!
You never loose your elegant look, not even when your are ironing. You are demonstrating that ironing is not only for women. I myself, love ironing my clothes. We should all take a page from your book. Subbed to your channel.
To avoid glazing, "Press" the garment. Press and lift the iron do not scrub the cloths with an iron.
So why is he scrubbing the pants? I Too have seen other videos saying that when ironing pants you should press and lift not swipe, however this video has confused me as the man in the video is showing that it is ok?
@@Gotallofthem1 He's using a Teflon under sole (see 1:19), which acts as a barrier between the iron and the garment. In a professional tailoring house, this is how pants would be ironed. Professional tailors would press the pants with great force in order to ensure that absolutely no wrinkles would be left out. If they don't slide and scrub, the iron would leave its outline on the pants.
This video is more than interesting; it is informative, especially the review of ironing pleated pants, which I find challenging. I am OK with ironing shirts or pants that are not pleated. I am from the old school, in my mid-50s, and like pleated pants in my professional life.
looking good raphael.
great vid!
I'd like to request a video on the history of masquerade balls or parties and their etiquette. I really have no prior exposure to them and I have one in the coming month.
I should have Googled: Ironing for average joes not ROYAL FAMILY!
Relatable i guess, i dont have a steam iron, i dont have an iron stand.
Lol!
HAHAHA
Me too, I’m now traumatized!!🙃🙃
What color is your Bugatti
Perfect, thank you!
Excellent tips
This information is really helpful. Thanks
My butlers have been doing ironing wrong. I shall pass along this instructional video to them.
Wow great information.thanks for sharing.
Your ironing videos are very good. Looking for your ironing videos for other kinds of clothes or cloth!
Could you please elaborate how to iron the crease in corduroy trousers? Thank you.
Raphael, I have a ceramic coated sole plate on my Sunbeam AERO Ceramic Sole Iron. Would you still recommend a Teflon sole plate for wool? Maybe check out that iron and see what you think...
Good information. Ironing needs skill and I'm not good at it. Thanks for the tips
Thank you! I’m terrible at this.
would love to find your pants/sleeve board...where do i get one???
3 hours ago?! Wait... I'm sure I watched this a few days ago. I remember it for the outfit.
this is part 3
Thanks
How do you prevent ironing in wrinkles on the opposite side of the leg? It sometimes seems sisyphean to iron one side only to put in wrinkles on the other.. Do they make boards specifically for pants?
Whats the name of the beat in this video, and many of the other video's?
Make a video on Guayaberas and Linen pants. Great channel by the way.
Do you use starch, how can I gate all tis material, and where
Spasibo.,wery danke.
This video is epic
hello Raphael, thanks for the video , why not to make a video with kirby the man behinde the hanger project ? i think you it will be awesome.
How often is this supposed to be done?
I have a centrifugal extractor for removing water from clothes after washing, It leaves clothes at exactly the perfect moisture level for ironing.
Question: when clothes have gotten shiny, from wear or ironing, is there a way to remove that shine?
Moin. Ich möchte meine Wollhose wieder in Form bringen die sich durch den Regen verformt hatte. Muss ich da auf etwas besonderes arten oder sollte ich sie leicht feucht machen? Oder muss ich mit Dampf arbeiten?
Danke
what can of iron is that
I’m clearly not paying my dry cleaner enough - who knew!
🎩thanks 👍👏
When should you use a a cloth and when not? Isn’t the point of steam that you don’t need a damp cloth?
is this affordable for all.
How do you clean the surface of an iron? Mine has a brownish buildup on it. (As well as some scratches)
Faultless hot iron cleaner. You can find it in Walmart or Target.
your 'e' sounds like kermit the frog. :) thumbs up
Raphael, I am in law college and I like using formal clothes, should I use a briefcase or a backpack ?
Briefcase all the way! In one of his previous periods he does a great job of telling how that makes you look younger. People will be more impressed with a briefcase or leather hand held bag of some kind.
Do a how to iron a polo shirt
May I know why use a wood clapper when one can just simply use the iron? the bottom of the iron is also flat and it has more weight, isn't it will become a better "clapper" compare to the wood one?
The clapper sucks the moisture out of the fabric, allowing it to keep the crease that you ironed in better. Without it, the moisture and temperature that remains in the fabric for a few seconds, will support the natural process of the crease straightening out (think of what happens if you just steam a crease without pressing down with the iron).
Nice to know it takes 20 minutes to iron dress pants. I have an iron press so it takes me about 15 minutes to iron a pair of slacks.
Good lord, was that an 8 inch cuff on those khakis?! Massive
Somebody’s in big clapper’s pocket
I'm losing my will to live.
I found the video informative.. however.. I have a $10 board and a $20 iron and I don't feel like spending a bunch more on gadgets and gizmos to press a pair of pants.
I guess this would be useful if your're doing this every single day. Thanks.
Turn the pants inside out it is much easier
if you iron inside out you know the crease/seam is going to be outside in (or backwards)
BRUH! 1:52 look at the right side.
With so much equipment .. one will look like a washerman.
I have 100% cotton chinos, they're impossible to look good, expensive trousers but whatever you do they always look like you've slept in them for a month! No more for me, hate them.
This is impossible
Not if you have a three day weekend and absolutely nothing else to do.
…and $5000 worth of gear. I love it though 😂
This videos was about the equipment more than the actual ironing unfortunately
I won’t be ironing any pleats. Thank you very much for the pleats cancer again
I’m interested of this channel but the way he talks is annoying 🤦🏻♀️
Skip. This is for wives.
Ugh!
You tool
With so much equipment .. one will look like a washerman.
