For years now the way I have been ironing my shirt is first do the collars then by buttoning up all buttons and then ironing. Saves me a lot of time..:)
Maloy7800 it was a joke... a guy is dressed in a t-shirt suggests he can't iron his shirt while trying to teach how to iron a shirt... welcome to the internet.
It takes me *minimum* 15 minutes to really iron a dress shirt well. I’ve been doing them for years. I agree with the “use a water bottle,” (a can of starch is even better,) BUT only set your iron to the highest setting if your shirt is 100% cotton!!! Any sort of synthetic or cotton/polyester blend and you have to go lower or you will scorch/burn your fabric. (Always test in an unnoticeable area first, like a very lower end of the shirt tail.)
Thank you. So simple. 4 years ago my mother passed away, and she taught me how to iron a shirt, but I could not remember it all. Was really missing her today for that reason. Thank you again.
@@priyankakaktwan5424 that was his whole point. If you’re going to be wearing a jacket, don’t bother with the arms. That said, I can’t imagine ever doing that because at some point I will takeoff my jacket during the day
If you want to iron half a shirt use the ironing board as shown in this demonstration. If you want to iron the whole shirt use the ironing board as we all know it should be used.
This video has taught me to iron my shirt with an iron and use a shirt to iron my shirt. Also, sleeves and the back of the shirt shouldn't be ironed. Wow, amazing tips. Thanks.
I worked in Harrods years ago and on a boiling hot day we were told by management we could remove our jackets. My student buddy had to keep his jacket on as underneath it, the back and arms of his shirt were un-ironed and he said he would look a wreck!
You've been right all your life. The iron board is designed to iron shirts. When ironing the back of the shirt, the narrow part will hold the top portion of the shirt perfectly, giving you a nice platform to iron.
For fucks sake children, he said this is only if you are wearing a jacket, that's why the sleeves and back are left. Granted, it's nice to be able to take the jacket off but if you're in a rush to get out and you don't have a shirt ironed, don't take the jacket off. It's a compromise to prevent lateness. Obviously you're going to iron the whole thing _if you've got the time._ Christ alive, it's called common sense.
I appreciate that he at least used the right side of the ironing board. Okay here you go,. Start off with a hot iron with water for lots if steam. iron the back of the collar and touch up the shoulder area. Iron the back of the sleeves. Now turn the shirt inside out and iron one front panel very well, touch up the back and then iron the other front panel very well. while you're touching up the back you can hit the back of the shoulders. Done.
I'm sorry but you HAVE TO do the back of the shirt unless you want to look like a Hobo who rolled out of bed. Shirts of different colors show wrinkles even more. Plus when you're at you're desk, your back is facing everyone who approaches you. Not a good look if your shirt is wrinkled.
Huh? So... make a 5 minute video of ironing a shirt and edit it to 90 seconds? I thought I was going to learn something, instead I discovered that I'm pretty good at ironing.
I watched this video over anyone else’s because it cuts through the crap and is to the point. As well as I just watched your video on how to clean collars. Thank you!
You start with the front. O-ooo. The front is the most important part of the shirt, the first adress. And if you iron the front first, it is likely that there will be wrinkles in the further process. So I recommend to iron the front last.
Where I live most people have bought an odorjet to do their ironing for them. Old style irons are great for dress shirts and things. But most people just want to remove creases and wrinkles as easily and as fast as possible.
Jim. You're kidding me already? The shirt is already ironed. As in, 'no visible creases' ironed. I could do what you demonstrated in half the time. C'mon Jim, that jacket you have on is the real challenge lol!
I used this technique today and it took me almost 40 minutes. 10 minutes for the iron to heat up and then was able to iron like the video shows. I understand this is for when you wear a jacket with the shirt, so you are not ironing the back of the shirt, so hopefully I don't need to take off my jacket or vest. 🥲
Well yeah, that's what he actually said in the video but what happens when you take the jacket off? You look like a rumpled mess who was too lazy to iron the whole shirt like an adult.
I can iron a dress shirt in 10 minutes :( And I’ve done it five times a week since late 2014. I can’t iron a shirt any faster than that, so I listen to a podcast while I iron. Sometimes it takes me longer.
WOW, how impressive he can Iron 1/3 of an already ironed shit in 90 seconds.
Haha I legit laughed.
absolutely - what a moron
I can do it in 45 seconds - sleeves and back included
I laughed thinking of someone ironing sh**. Disgusting though 😷
Ha ha ha ha
"How to iron an already ironed/pressed shirt."
😂😂😂

Lmao right
never trust a man who is teaching you how to iron a dress shirt.... who is wearing a t-shirt with his sport coat.
Maloy7800 it was a joke... a guy is dressed in a t-shirt suggests he can't iron his shirt while trying to teach how to iron a shirt... welcome to the internet.
and a wrinkled sport coat to boot.
i came here looking for a guide on ironing a tshirt
Kyu1LL I think he was ironing his own shirt.
AGREED!
Title should be 'How to iron half a shirt in 90 seconds'
Agreed . . . And the easy half at that . . .
+ That's either made of non-iron fabric, or already pre-ironed
rstezza lol
I agree
He didn't even do the back 😒😒😒
So am I supposed to go with a perfect front and wrinkled back shirt?
It takes me *minimum* 15 minutes to really iron a dress shirt well. I’ve been doing them for years. I agree with the “use a water bottle,” (a can of starch is even better,) BUT only set your iron to the highest setting if your shirt is 100% cotton!!!

Just get nice steamer iron, powerful one and you forget about water sprays forever. There are up to 9 bars steam pressure models on the market.
💯
Thank you. So simple. 4 years ago my mother passed away, and she taught me how to iron a shirt, but I could not remember it all. Was really missing her today for that reason. Thank you again.
I could do anything in 90 seconds if I had a video editor.
LOL
next on GQ, how to eat with a spoon
lol
With spaghetti as the chosen food
A fpoon
what about arms...the tough parts are arms. i can do in 20 seconds that the parts u did
Same question😪😜
Same
@@priyankakaktwan5424 that was his whole point. If you’re going to be wearing a jacket, don’t bother with the arms. That said, I can’t imagine ever doing that because at some point I will takeoff my jacket during the day
@@Stan_sprinkle lol🤣
Even if I did wear a jacket the whole time, it would bug me not ironing the rest of the shirt.
"How to Iron an Ironed Shirt in 90 Seconds with Jim Moore"
Front, collar, and cuffs... really? And when you have to slip off your jacket you look like a chump.
you'll look like a chump for taking the jacket off anyways
If you want to iron half a shirt use the ironing board as shown in this demonstration. If you want to iron the whole shirt use the ironing board as we all know it should be used.
I must be all grown up now if I'm watching this.
This video has taught me to iron my shirt with an iron and use a shirt to iron my shirt. Also, sleeves and the back of the shirt shouldn't be ironed.

How to iron an already ironed shirt without ironing the sleeves
Jimmy, James, or Jim thank you so much…. I liked
So at the age of 37 I’ve discovered that I have been using the wrong end of the ironing board. Story of my life 😂
You've been right all your life. The iron board is designed to iron shirts. When ironing the back of the shirt, the narrow part will hold the top portion of the shirt perfectly, giving you a nice platform to iron.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is so wrong
How about the back???
This is misleading at best.
For fucks sake children, he said this is only if you are wearing a jacket, that's why the sleeves and back are left.

Christ alive, it's called common sense.
On a hot day it would be enbarrassing to remove your jacket.
eileenfb1948 boi
if you live in a hot area you should be wearing a jacket made of linen or summer whole that doesnt have a liner. You wont need to take off the jacket
Hey..my ironbhas a water holder...only iron I have..so..I'm using that. And follow your instructions..thanx!
I don't rcall seeing how you've ironed the sleeves, and what do I do with the IRON metal plate sitting on the other wise of the board?!?
I appreciate that he at least used the right side of the ironing board. Okay here you go,. Start off with a hot iron with water for lots if steam. iron the back of the collar and touch up the shoulder area. Iron the back of the sleeves.

Not a good look if your shirt is wrinkled.
***** - Yes but do you wear your jacket inside the office all day??
Some of you guys are so rude. Please be nice. This was actually a good video.
Says a girl who wants to be "a professional TH-camr (and dentist)"? IQ - asystolic.
Finally someone uses the correct end of the board for ironing.
Huh? So... make a 5 minute video of ironing a shirt and edit it to 90 seconds? I thought I was going to learn something, instead I discovered that I'm pretty good at ironing.
Just need him to come over and show me that about 20 times every other week
any one peep that he ironed a pre-ironed shirt... my shirts are real creased.
The only good thing I learned was using the squared end of the ironing board for a shirt. :)
Iron with teflon surface is best. Much more easier sliding. 👍
what brand is the iron you use??
I watched this video over anyone else’s because it cuts through the crap and is to the point. As well as I just watched your video on how to clean collars. Thank you!
You start with the front. O-ooo. The front is the most important part of the shirt, the first adress. And if you iron the front first, it is likely that there will be wrinkles in the further process. So I recommend to iron the front last.
Maybe I'm going to a wormhole right at this moment ...but 90 seconds is taking a looong time
Where I live most people have bought an odorjet to do their ironing for them. Old style irons are great for dress shirts and things.
But most people just want to remove creases and wrinkles as easily and as fast as possible.
Is that including time he took to set the shirt on board??
Such rubbish! This is highly misleading. GQ you should be ashamed for this cheap advertising stunt.
Why wear a shirt ..get a t-shirt with Tuxdo painted on it
Seriously.... why spend 90seconds and a bad job then 4 minutes and do a perfect job. What a waste
Take me twenty min to iron my shirts
Haha! 90secs... for a half ironed shirt! A full shirt usually takes me no more than 5mins - but I'm super slow lol
When did you ironed hand part
And them put over a pullover because the rest of the shirt is a mesa.
That’s why he said “if you’re going to be wearing a jacket”
How to iron part of a shirt in 90 seconds. You should specify that.
Jim. You're kidding me already? The shirt is already ironed. As in, 'no visible creases' ironed. I could do what you demonstrated in half the time. C'mon Jim, that jacket you have on is the real challenge lol!
hey what about the sleeves
You're never going to iron a shirt in 90 secs. Even if you don't iron the back
I used this technique today and it took me almost 40 minutes. 10 minutes for the iron to heat up and then was able to iron like the video shows. I understand this is for when you wear a jacket with the shirt, so you are not ironing the back of the shirt, so hopefully I don't need to take off my jacket or vest. 🥲
Oh please!!! It looks like done before already.
I already like this guy.He makes ironing look fun!! lol
You mean because he is only doing half the job?
now i think i have to post a video ..."how to iron a shirt in 1second"
I never thought my life would come to this
I think the idea here is that these shirts are meant to be worn with a suit.
That's why he doesn't iron the back and sleeves - they'll be hidden.
Well yeah, that's what he actually said in the video but what happens when you take the jacket off? You look like a rumpled mess who was too lazy to iron the whole shirt like an adult.
That’s true but that’s flipping lazy to just iron the front.
LabakiTurbo but he missed the other cuff
I would think the shirt would be quite wet in this case. Better to use the iron with water in..... and use the steam.
took you two minutes yet you missed the back and sleeves.
Yes you can see this th-cam.com/video/MdlSdPzrho0/w-d-xo.html
My carribbean mother would be so ashamed of me if I ironed my shirt this way.
what about back side
what about the sleeves and back??
What about the sleeves
90 secs? The video is a minute and 52 secs....
lmao
He wasnt ironing the whole minute and 52 seconds.
The narrow end helps to iron the yolk of the shirt. It's perfect for that. Weird you'd dismiss it so quickly.

A: "really go at it"
Just a guess, but you are here because you are gonna have an interview soon lol

Yes you can see this th-cam.com/video/MdlSdPzrho0/w-d-xo.html
Wow just wow. THANKS
What about the back?
He's assuming that you will be wearing a suit jacket.
Antonio Daniel But I just like to where shirt without blazer. This is an outrage!!
OhMyBooda
Then just do the back... -.- We didn't tell you to fly a rocketship
Spyros Fougias The back is like 50% of the shirt.
OhMyBooda
It's not that difficult. Just do the back
Man that is just great and efficient too! Why iron something no one sees?
Just because it is a dress shirt doesn't mean you totally disrespect the sleeves.
Why is Kevin Spacey teaching me how to iron an already ironed shirt
Who will do the wrist and back??
Lmao don’t worry about the back of the shirt that would be wrinkled like crazy....
yeah, remove the edtiing, iron an actually messy shirt and iron it fully, no way it takes you less than 2 minutes
My shirts are worn without jackets. I need part 2
I can iron a dress shirt in 10 minutes :(
And I’ve done it five times a week since late 2014. I can’t iron a shirt any faster than that, so I listen to a podcast while I iron. Sometimes it takes me longer.
When you are mad enough to make you tube videos and don't know what is the topic and make it suddenly
I am 22. thanks for this
*whispering "Nice"
he forgot to iron the sleeves
This is not very helpful.
What about the sleeves?
The quality of the iron makes a big difference
Hey ! You didn't do the back and the sleeves ! That's an incomplete job ! : )
He said he was only going to do the front, collar and cuffs and not the back because he expected us to be wearing a suit jacket over it haha
this is the censored way with jacket on. It's typically take me an hour to finish 15 shirts to an okay finish
This helped me get ready for a wedding tonight 😂😂🤷
merci mateken
You missed the sleeves
We got this guys
what about the sleeves thats the hardest part!
