I like a nice crease in my blue denim jeans. I like your tips about slightly moist ironing and inside out to the jeans ironing. If I am wearing white painters pants, I iron them but I do not add a cease to those.
Because I wear them for manual-type work of all kinds, including walking the dog, I never iron my jeans. My preference is to pull the creases out while they are still damp from the washing machine and then hang them to dry crease free. As for pressing my casual and suit trousers, I never let the hot iron make direct contact with the trouser fabric, but always press them through a clean damp tea towel. This gives a nice sharp crease and no risk of shininess.
@@TheBritishDapper Thanks, Chris, I confess I have never heard of either term in relation to pressing trousers, unless you are referring to the faithful trouser press that was so often the staple of hotel rooms. For a long time I did use one at home until the heating element died. Since retirement, my work suits tend to only be worn for formal occasions. Luckily, they still fit!
On a sidenote: I don't know why I should wear jeans. They look faded, worn or even distressed in no time and therefore lack in even the most basic elegance. So they don't offer anything chinos, cotton, corduroy, cavalry twill or flannels could not do. But thank you very much for displaying the difference between "ironing" and "pressing" - it was completely new to me!

thanks for your comments, have you tried using a banger or as sometimes called a clapper?
