Thank God for TH-cam. So many skills I didn't acquire in school or by my parents that I need on a regular basis now. Cooking, clothing, and even parallel parking. Yup, did it right bumper to bumper first time without touching. Thanks to all the wonderful people on TH-cam for the lessons.
Fnord Fnordington Yeesssss You can say that again and it’s such a bloody waste of Time and effort as well.Homeschooling just like Self Education is the way to go.
This is why community colleges should at least get back to offering home economics, even as a continuing education course. These skills are necessary and in high demand just like any other educational degree. I’m sure people’s bosses would like employees without wrinkled clothes. Lol education in everyday skills should be addressed in some level of school.
I'm changing career fields from construction to a more professional environment. Understanding the importance of appearance, but having no idea how to do some of these things, I really appreciate your videos. They have been a tremendous help. Thank you.

How is construction any less of a "professional" environment?
You never realise how important a video like this could be until you enter those jobs that require a neat, tidy and presentable front. Forever grateful for video tutorials on YT. 🙏🏼
I agree 100%. The practice of forcing one's own taste in music on helpless viewers and listeners is truly abominable. On top of that, if the voice-over is fast, or strongly accented, one simply misses words and phrases!
Guys u shud come back and do more videos. This channel is brilliant. You guys were ahead of ur time. Somebody restart this channel, under the guidance of this gentleman.
Hello, the most important thing to remember when looking for a new ironing board is that it is wide with a deep cushioning, the brand is not important as long as it follows these guidelines. :)
Great series of videos - It came in handy in my hotel room. Still, I managed to daydream for a moment and burn my trousers. I think practice on cheaper garments is in order.
Very important is set the iron to the right temperature. Check the label of the clothes. If it's polyester trousers the material will melt if the temperature is to high, and that will leave a stain that can not be washed away!
Great video! I iron well but hate ironing creases into trousers. Have to do it though so your video makes it easy. However I always use a linen T towel to stop the shine. It really works. I am going to try the beating at the end to get a crisp line. Once you've done a good crease once you can just keep following it in future. Makes the trousers look really classy!, thanks again.
Hi Rich, the video is a recommendation for suit trousers. For a pair of Dockers I would suggest following the care instructions that they come with. Hope this helps! :)
I have no problem ironing my shirts but ironing or "pressing" trousers is a time-consuming chore because it takes time to get it right. In this video, I got a couple of tips to make it somwhat easier to do.
Thank you for your useful content... I am quite inexperienced in this matter, so I have two "basic" questions. 1. What sorts of fabric have to be pressed to avoid shine? Only wool, or also cotton or linnen? 2. Out of curiosity, what happens to the fabric, that it starts to shine after ironing? Thank you.
The width of your iron board is important; if it is a wide board it means that you will not have to move your garment at all when you are pressing it which will in turn help you create a straight line. Does this help?
Hello, no problem on the questions we enjoyed reading them. If you're thinking about buying a steamer you might benefit more from buying a better iron that allows you to control the steam on it, maybe a similar one to the one featured above.
Very informative videos. You seem to enjoy your job. If the T.M Lewin products are made with as much attention to detail as do do your videos I hope to buy some in the future, that tells me they are good products. Thank You!
“Ideally you want a lint free one, because you don’t want fluff all over you midnight Navy suit!” My brain: don’t say it, don’t say it...................................FOR WAR!
i would be great if can have another version of full video on pressing the trousers. as we need some tutorial on the other side of the trouser too~~ :D
I have been "ironing" my shirts and pants for half a century and never understood or really even thought about the difference between "ironing" and "pressing," and so have always avoided ironing my wool dress slacks myself, in fear of the dreaded shine that ruined some suits in my younger days. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the video and yes, most of us ion and not press, so will keep that in mind. Maybe you could also put a video on how to iron shirts. thanks
Nice, so glad to come across your TH-cam lessons in caring for our midnight ladies suit. Really a great help though seeing how I just got my first suit since I was 12yr old, yes it's has been a while and I like having a suit today. I watched you vid on ironing shirts and now this one, good stuff. Thank you a bunch. I just have to find some good dress shoes now and a over coat with a hat of some sort... yes really not kidding. :)
what visual difference does "ironing" have between "pressing". what would happen if you would just iron the pants? please explain the difference. thanks for the videos. very helpful
Thank you so much. The dry cleaner that I took mine to did a terrible job. I'll have to try this myself. Is there a particular kind of iron you recommend? Or some features I should look out for or avoid?
I notice you use a different iron in this video than you did for "TM Lewin How To Iron A Shirt". Do you have a favorite iron that you prefer? If you want to avoid recommending any brands, are there certain features you'd look for in an iron? I've heard a few people recommend Rowenta however the Oliso TG1100 looks pretty nice with automatic shut off and the "levitating" function. I'm also looking for an ironing board, however it sounds like I'll just go for a wide, meshed-bottom board.
Hello T.M.Lewin, Which brand is the ironing board? What is the percentage linen in the cloth? Which brand is it and where can you buy it? Thank you for answering my questions!
Hi there! I am new to ironing. My pants & shirt are made of a heavier cotton for work. I have looked around for different tutorials, however this one has helped THE MOST! I need advice. I wear flat-front pants. My biggest struggle is lining up the pant-legs to press in creases. With seams lined up, as I reach the crotch area, the creases start to set off-course as the pants begin to shift and wrinkles start pushing upwards towards the top. It's as if the pants shouldn't line up naturally.
I have only found videos in YT that start with trousers/pants that are quite unwrinkled already.I'd like to see a video where they really do the ironing job.
I bought a heap of nice slacks at the thrift store. Some have pleted fronts some are flat fronts. I have pressed a crease down the middle of the pleated pant with it continuing into the pleat. However for the flat front pants, is it in style to press a crease down the middle. Or, should I press flat? (no crease down the front) The flat front pants do not have a hint of a center crease, so I'm not sure if I should put one in.
@TMLewinOFFTHECUFF Hello, I am sorry to interrupt your conversation, but can you please specify the type of ironing board you are using, or what we are supposed to use in order to get pristine results? I live in California, so if you can take that into consideration, when mentioning brands and such, it will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.
I like the tips on care and just plan measure for shirt. I find myself picking out what I need, the first time every time. I'm not afraid of waering my suits not that I'm sure of what I'm doing. I all so like the fact that I get to see clothes look and move in real life, meaning not on a model in perfect conditions. I look forward to see more of the T M Line. Thank you for all the tips and how to videos. r/v J.D. Parrott
Really liked the video!I am a tailor but always had a problem pressing pants I made.I am thinking about buying a steam generating iron to give me more steam.Right now I have a gravity feed iron which is amazing but the generator seems to be a step up.Wondering if you think its worth the money?
Is it a white stain or a white residue? White residue are usually mineral deposits from the water you used during the ironing. You can just wipe that off. If it's a shine, it'll still look black, just with a sheen. A white stain... I don't know how you did that.
Diff b/w pressing n ironing is gr8 tip but wen i press or iron picket area, it always leave impression of inside stitchings etc. How can I avoid it? Thanx
Excellent - I'm not quite at the standard of my local ironing shop yet but it made a big difference - really noticable when I put them back on the hanger. Thanks.
Please advise what kind of iron you're using. I need a good one but I'd only really want to spend $50.....any advice. The one you're using is probably $100 or so. Right? And thank you in advance
I had my pants adjusted by taking in the in inseam and a new crease was made. This crease no longer matches the position you identify by aligning the inseams. Do I have a mess on my hands?
Hi, I need Sharp Creases for the dress pants. And I use starch. But I have some questions. When I use the starch should I spray the inside of the pants and iron on the outside? Will this reduce the chance of white shiny residue? And Can I use starch on pants that are poly and cotton pleas answer !! PLEASE !! I use starch because I don't use a steam iron and won't be getting one.
I can't seem to control my iron when it comes to applying steam. Sometimes the steam comes out and other times it doesn't. My iron, a basic Proctor Silex, does not have a "button" to press like yours does. Is there a method to make the steam come out? Also, is it worth it to buy a steamer and would one steam an article of clothing and iron it? I know I have a lot of questions, just thank God I didn't ask for dating advice.
Can you answer my question? I've followed your instructions for pressing trousers but my iron leaves an impression of itself on the trousers, can you tell me why this is & how to rectify it. Thanks
hi........ u did nt explain hoe to press the opposite side of trousers becoz i do manage to create a perfect crease but wen i press the other sise of leg i get double creases
I've heard this "press instead of iron to avoid shine" more often, but nobody explains the reason. Shine is caused by burning the fabric, how would pressing avoid this?
Thank God for TH-cam. So many skills I didn't acquire in school or by my parents that I need on a regular basis now. Cooking, clothing, and even parallel parking. Yup, did it right bumper to bumper first time without touching. Thanks to all the wonderful people on TH-cam for the lessons.

What a legend. Of course I don't want fluff over my midnight blue navy suit. This sir is on point!
No music, perfect. Some of these YT videos with music really is distracting at times but this one is perfect.

how did you "establish" this ironing technique?
No, it's pressing technique for war!
🤣
I wonder the same thing
Simply wow. Pressing trousers was always like a mystery to me. Thanks.
Man I hope I can have as much swag as this dude one day 😎

You will never have as much class as this fine gentlemen. To use the parlance of the guys on the street - "Man has achieved infinite swegphoria, m8".

Hello, you should try a Rowenta iron or any heavy iron will do.

It's 5 o'clock, why aren't you having tea?
Oquelí A. Martínez S. And Crumpets lol.
Tea time is 4pm. Four o'clock in the afternoon; and it does not last an hour.
Enjoy !
Hello, are they correctly lined up when you iron them too? Also can you let us know if you are using a wide ironing board?
Great video! Just finished ironing my trousers. Next time i will do the pressing instead. I also ironed the trousers top part is that wrong?
I feel like ironing!!! You are amazing. Thank you.
I notice you use a different iron in this video than you did for "TM Lewin How To Iron A Shirt". Do you have a favorite iron that you prefer?

Hello T.M.Lewin,
Which brand is the ironing board?
What is the percentage linen in the cloth?
Which brand is it and where can you buy it?
Thank you for answering my questions!
Thanks for nothing then!
This video must be the most professional way.........thanks a lot for sharing!
I just like hearing him say "trouser" lol
Best comment by miles , lol , Trouser . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
ASMR?
what iron table are you using ? , if you could reply that would be great , it seems like a good one
Can you do another video with how to press the rest of the pants? Found this video really helpful but the remaining areas of the pants look wrinkled.
I was looking for the answer to ironing trousers and this was very helpful thank you. No need now for me to look elsewhere.
awesome .great tricks i did not know
Hi there!
I am new to ironing. My pants & shirt are made of a heavier cotton for work. I have looked around for different tutorials, however this one has helped THE MOST!

I wear flat-front pants. My biggest struggle is lining up the pant-legs to press in creases.

It's as if the pants shouldn't line up naturally.

Please, please, please bring back his how to pack videos
I bought a heap of nice slacks at the thrift store. Some have pleted fronts some are flat fronts. I have pressed a crease down the middle of the pleated pant with it continuing into the pleat. However for the flat front pants, is it in style to press a crease down the middle. Or, should I press flat? (no crease down the front) The flat front pants do not have a hint of a center crease, so I'm not sure if I should put one in.
The skill of pressing trousers is so so indispensable in war!
I have never seen such a nice, strong ironing board but I need to find one. If I did that on my ironing board once it would be the last time.
It looks like the Brabantia size D. You can find it on Amazon but its like $100.

By pressing the trousers you will have more of a visual folder down the centre of the trousers. Does this help?
This man is a wizard
Hello, you could iron with a thin tea-towel over your trousers to avoid this! :)
Thanks so much, very helpful. Can I use a new shoe shine brush to flatten crease? That's what your wooden thing reminded me of.
old but gold, wish id seen this when i was younger!
Thank you for the helpful videos! A question: how high should the back crease extend?
Good to know. can you recommand any good iron box please ?
Thank you for this information. But may I ask if there is any exception by pressing or running the iron on the clothes, Jeans and trouser?
Really liked the video!I am a tailor but always had a problem pressing pants I made.I am thinking about buying a steam generating iron to give me more steam.Right now I have a gravity feed iron which is amazing but the generator seems to be a step up.Wondering if you think its worth the money?

Diff b/w pressing n ironing is gr8 tip but wen i press or iron picket area, it always leave impression of inside stitchings etc. How can I avoid it?
Thanx
I still love a crease in my pants from my jeans to my dress pants. It just looks so clean and crisp.
Is that a slim fit or fully fitted shirt you are wearing?
in old days we drew a line inside the crease with soap. it always held the crease and washed out!
can i use starch spray for trousers as well, or is it reserved for dress shirts?
Excellent - I'm not quite at the standard of my local ironing shop yet but it made a big difference - really noticable when I put them back on the hanger. Thanks.
Please advise what kind of iron you're using. I need a good one but I'd only really want to spend $50.....any advice. The one you're using is probably $100 or so. Right?
And thank you in advance
I had my pants adjusted by taking in the in inseam and a new crease was made. This crease no longer matches the position you identify by aligning the inseams. Do I have a mess on my hands?
this man should be a Prof in ironing
very useful tips..thanks a ton for uploading !
..patting hard wid a wooden item did not improve da quality of ironin in my case
@TMLewinOFFTHECUFF I am in US do you recommend any irons? It me longer to iron tourser. In fact a lot longer.
Do you simply do that same thing when cuffing your dress pants too?
It is really helpful But I am not having Iron table @ my hostel So, Will u please tell me to iron to Shirt and Pant on flowing. ?????
When I didn’t have a clothes dryer, and it was an emergency, I used to iron my clothes till it dried. Took awhile
Thank you Sir - this skill is going to save me SO MUCH money!!!

Can you answer my question? I've followed your instructions for pressing trousers but my iron leaves an impression of itself on the trousers, can you tell me why this is & how to rectify it. Thanks
Thanks for your expertise!!
Does this apply to ironing corduroy trousers ?
What is the major reason for pressing a trouser instead of iron it.
hi........ u did nt explain hoe to press the opposite side of trousers becoz i do manage to create a perfect crease but wen i press the other sise of leg i get double creases
I've heard this "press instead of iron to avoid shine" more often, but nobody explains the reason. Shine is caused by burning the fabric, how would pressing avoid this?
how do you stop a mesh imprint forming on your trousers?
Great advice i for one am always having major issues with my trousers !
