Sir, I am a professional wet cleaner from India. To be honest I learnt how a press a suit to perfection only after watching and learning from this video . Thank you . Arun Oliver.
I trained as a presser with a tailoring company in the 60’s. We used a separate sleeve board for the sleeves and a larger one to press the body of the jacket called a donkey. This had two sizes, a large one for mens jackets, flip it over and a smaller one for ladies jackets. They were covered with black wadding and either felt or white linen. Brings back great memories. I wish I could remember what we called the lapel roll from the top seam to the top button.
Superb, you are a very good presser, I understand you because I am a presser as well, but the People who never done any pressing , they will understand you in theory but never in practice, as you know yourself pressing needs a lot af skills. I remember at the beginning when I started to do this job, started first with trousers they were falling from my hands for couple of months without doing any Jackets at that time, then after that I was getting better and better. Hope you understand my English writing, because English is my second language. Anyway I liked the way you have done that Jacket SIR…Top pressing skills from you, all the very best to you
@englishcut It might help to clarify that it's a three-roll-two jacket. One shouldn't try to press a high roll three button jacket into one of those. Thanks for the video. This was extremely helpful.
That's an AWESOME looking iron. I wonder if its a ROWENTA? You are great and thanks for posting this GREAT video! I really like that sleeve board. Is it custom made? Here in America our sleeve board are shorter. You Rock!
EXCELLENT VIDEO AND VER CLEAR PRESENTATION... I THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT HOW TO... BEST I HAVE SEEN BEING I AM WEARING LINEN SUITS IN FLORIDA !!! BEST VIDEO AND EASY WAY YOU SHOWED WITH THAT SMALL IRON BOARD .... GREAT TIPS ON HOW TOO AND WHY !!! THE WHY IS SO IMPORTANT... GREAT TAILER YOU ARE AS MOST I NOW GO TO WITH QUESTIONS.... GREAT TRADE EVERY ONE I HAVE SPOKEN TOO.... THEY WANT US TO LOOK OUR BEST ...LOVE THE ATTITUDE TAILORS GIVE !!!! THANKS !
I was always told not to press direct on to dark fabrics direct but to put a cloth over material & press thru. that this way you reduced the risk of leaving a shine on the fabric
Last week at a hotel the maid took my suit by mistake and had it pressed (who knows what equipment, maybe too much steam ) and totally ruined the lapel. This was my first wear of a Hugo Boss Super 120 navy blue by Guabello. After this accidental press, the lapel has a crease, maybe more like a fold, that runs vertically from the vertex of the notch running down about 2 inches long, in both sides. How can I correct it? Thank you
Maybe the answer is late but I usually spray a water on heavy wrinkles and press it with steam at the same time, don't forget to put damp cloth between iron and fabric to prevent sheen.
This is the best video that I have seen on this topic. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
