Yeah they use a pre-ironed shirt to keep the aesthetic but this doesn't teach you anything on how it works and how to deal with folds. A really stubborn fold can only be treated with a steam-hit and repeated "scrubbing" with the iron. That's how I was able to get folds out of my chino pants.
Now I have my shirt sorted I just need a video on how to tie my laces and I'll be ready for my interview.

Man... How in earth somebody explains ironing a shirt so damn good!!
Thank you for enlightening us all with the knowledge of pressing shirts. 🙏
I love to iron my shirts, my mother taught me when I was a child and my wife helped me improve my technique. For many years, I used to spend Sunday afternoons ironing the clothes that I was going to wear during the week.
Thank you so much for this educational video.
thank you sir, its harder than it looks!
I love this. This was fun to watch. Thank YOU!
But you should iron the shirt inside out. You do this to make sure that you don't see any discoloration from the ironing or any damages the iron can make to the fabric. This way you can wear your shirt longer, it is also the way they do it in tailor shops.

@@Michael-lg4wz The iron was too hot and has probably burnt some clothes over the years. It's the residue from burnt fabric stuck on the iron that stains clothes and causes that intense ironing smell. I always clean my iron when it burns something. Get a sheet of newspaper and spread a mound of salt on it. Turn on your iron on the highest heat setting and iron over the salt until all the burnt residue is gone.
This is art!
absolutely elegant tutorial video for a simple task! 👍
So I just pressed two shirts using this technique. Two things. One) it takes a long time. Two) I've ironing shirts wrong my whole life. Thank you for making this tutorial

When ironing the sleeve of the shirt, should the stiching on the sleeve be in the front or back, when the shirt is on its front side?
that is a nice looking iron there
I honestly learned most of this by experience
