I never imagined a video on ironing shirts could be so informative. Even the order you iron the shirt in makes far more sense than what I used to do. Great video!
Thank you for covering this topic! Often it seems like men's style bloggers like to talk about how to look great, but rarely cover the real work that it takes to do so. Well done!
Great video Antonio. A very important part of making clothes look crisp, yet it is not often talked about in detail. You have hit the nail on the head with your straightforward video. Keep up the good work.
Great video Antonio. I would add one other tip that I discovered and that is to iron the shirt from the rectangular end of the board. This keeps you from having to re-position the shirt multiple times while ironing. Men's shirts are boxy and don't really fit that rounded shape on the other end.
Keith Harris I just realized my ironing board has one of those "platforms" on the boxy side to rest the iron, effectively blocking me from ironing on that side. Fortunately my dear wife irons my clothes hahaha
well its pretty important for me to get the perfect ironing of the shirt. these tips will surely help me out next time.... the most important tip was for the collar ironing starting from outside to inside as i was doing the wrong whole life... thanks for this amazing hack
These tips are very useful for somebody like me a (beginner). Who often pays money to the tailor for ironing a shirt and spend lot of money on it. While this video gives some really useful tips and justifies the ease of ironing . A really useful video by Antonio . I would really appreciate Antonio for sharing such detailed explained video which covers each aspects of the topic. Hoping him my best wishes for his new videos ☺ 👍 From:-Afeef Alam
Thank you for the video. This really helps, started wearing more dress shirts recently and ironing has been a pain in the butt, so thank you very much!
Great tip about ironing dark shirts inside-out. I saw the process about dark pants (press, don't drag) and wondered if the same thing applied to shirts. Awesome work!
This is a GOOD basic ironing instructional. Thankfully, I had a mother who was very particular to teach me how to iron. I disagree about the starch damaging the fabric. Before I was retired I used to have my office shirts professionally laundered. I always specified heavy starch. I liked my shirts to look extremely crisp and rigid. These shirts lasted for years with no deterioration of the fabric at all over the years. As a matter of fact, I STILL am able to wear many of those shirts. Now, I use spray starch at home. If the spray starch leaves a residue, just a couple of swipes of a cloths brush will cure that and the shirts still look great!
This article was required centuries ago. Good video with nice tips. Here's a pro tip. My dad had custom made a table with cushioning and cloth fastened to it, that made working on the shirt very easy. The only time we had to move a shirt was when we had to reverse it. After using that, iron boards look like a joke. I'm looking forward to another video on how to iron dress trousers, including pleated ones and yet another one for miscellaneous dresses. My mom encourages me to iron every dress, even inner vest and I go by her advice as the garment looks sharp and makes me look like a king.
wow! now this video is really what I need right now. I have an event for best students of the year and I need a great looking shirt. my mom is busy working and I hate to say it but I don't know anything about ironing. she never wants to teach me. now I'll try to learn and impress her and help her out, meanwhile learning essential life knowledge. thanks Antonio!
I always iron the back shoulder area first (after the collar then sleeves) at the edge of the board (working round it, ironing it away from you) then I iron one of the front section at the top area first, downwards. (either button side or button hole front - depending if you iron with your right hand or left). Next I slowly roll the ironed parts away from my body ironing the rest of the shirt. ie. Front, lower back part then the other front. To ensure it stays in form I always press on the seams that connect the different sections. Pressing firmly along it helps to ensure good hold and well ironed look throughout the day. Hope this helps.
Excellent video! I am very meticulous about pressing my dress/casual shirts and these tips have furthered my knowledge extensively. Thank you. Now, if we can see a video on properly pressing pants.
oh my goodness! I was thinking of learning how to press my clothes and in the same day I randomly found your brilliant video. I really love RealMenRealStyle videos. Thanks, sir!
I normally don't comment but what a great video Antonio. A very basic subject but essential nonetheless. I've been ironing my shirts for years and feel competent at it, but still your video gave me some new insights. Thanks for sharing!
Again, great useful video. Alll i did so far was throw in the shirt in the dryer to get it wrinkle free. ironing always took too much of my time. There is always huge difference between wrinkle free and an ironed shirt. thanks for this step by step guide which stramlines the process. keep them tips coming
This came at the right time. Yesterday only I was ironing a shirt and wondering when RMRS would be putting up a video on ironing. Please do trousers and jeans also 🤗🤗
About spray starch - it tends to make residue that dries and you have to brush it aside but in my experience it significantly extends the life of the shirt, I use it on all dress and even casual shirts (I don't own any shirts that don't need ironing). I've had shirts last a decade or more from this - the starch improves resilience especially in wear points (elbows, etc.). I've also found the effect lasts far more than just a few hours - even into the next day, I've passed out (after a big night) and woken up the next morning and people wondered why I put a freshly ironed shirt on while the rest of me looked like I'd been hit by a bus. The key is the type of starch - a simpler, more traditional spray starch is usually quite superior to a more artificially made one (don't know the US brands for this though).
On the question of starch, I will wash all my shirts together. I then mix a solution of bottled starch and water (ratio adjusted to wanted stiffness) and soak the shirts before hanging to dry. Iron with a steam iron (lots of steam) for perfect crispness. The soaking permits uniform absorbtion of the starch. It also means using less starch than a spray can and is MUCH less expensive! Roughly $3 for a half-gallon that will do 20-25 shirts at a heavy starch level.
Great video. I've been doing what you've described for years except for ironing from the outside in on the collars and pockets. This makes so much sense! Love the thumbnail. Your comic book geek is showing.
To be honest, I hate ironing, but watching this video and while transitioning into an even greater gentleman I gotta have to start loving ironing now!! Great as always, brilliantly explained, I am compelled to iron now lol.....
This is probably the most useful video yet, for me. So much time spent trying to get a shirt looking right! Saving this video for future reference! Thanks Antonio. Is that an Anson belt in the video?
Although I have a dryer I do not use it for my dress shirts. I always wash on the gentle cycle or the hand wash cycle of the washing machine and I do not use the heavy duty spin cycle to wring out all the water. I hang dry all my wet shirts on a clothes rod over the bathtub. It dries overnight. It minimizes creases so ironing is easier. I have 40 dress shirts so washing, drying and ironing is a production line sometimes. I usually go about 10 shirts per load so I can run through a complete cycle of shirts every 4 cycles.
I wish I had seen this video a couple years ago when I was ironing shirts every day; I think I might have permanently set some yellowing around my collars. Any advice on fixing that?
Antonio my man you must be psychic because I was actually going to ask you about self cleaning and maintenance. I picked up a steamer yesterday used it last night for my blazer and pocket and it was phenomenal it even came with a creaser attachment. It took me a while to get but pants the had an existing crease it was easy to follow that line touch it up for a fresh crease that looked like got it from the cleaners. I got the Conair extreme steamer
Real Men Real Style I have had the steamer for a week now and I'm still pleased with it from my jackets, ties, pocket squares and trousers does them all no problem. I might use your iron straight out of the wash method for my shirts though I like that better; but all in all good product.
Thanks a lot! I am horrible at ironing clothes, they are really annoying and time consuming and fidly. When I iron one side, the other side gets creases. i use a flat table though. So that could be the problem
Wow, I never thought about if I was ironing my shirts wrong. Thanks for helping me break those bad habits Antonio! Ironing from outside in and spraying water on tough wrinkles had to be two biggest tips I got from this video.
Antonio, wonderful video, especially the shoulder part! But one question-when ironing sleeves, do you press all the way to the end, thus forming a strong line?
Great video! I enjoy seeing how tos. I'd like to see more ironing videos pants, ties, etc. Also clothing maintance hacks. maybe a small sieres? Keep up the great work!
I don't iron my shirts most of the time (like 99%), but I really like this video. I think I woudln't think of ironing collar this way... atleast on the first try.
I like to iron all of my clothes for the entire week. it saves me a lot of time getting dress. Well, sometimes I change my mind about what to wear for a particular day. so I plan ahead and have option.
I was gonna request you to make a video about iron a dress shirt. It's what I exactly needed. By the way, sir you may make another video about how to press a pant. Thank you.

Antonio, sir, you are the best! It's these little things that matter
Brilliant! I have always had those little creases at the collar ends and cuffs!!! That stopped today. On point! Thanks Antonio
Welcome!
I've literally never ironed my shirt shoulder. Simple but certainly easier than trying to iron the front up to the shoulder. Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome Michael!

Awesome - glad you find it useful.
wow, this was really helpful. my sisters graduation is this saturday and my dress shirt was really wrinkled now it looks like new. Thank you so much.

have been a follower for almost 2 yrs now ,,, the music alone is brilliant on this,,, Bravo Antonio !!!
You rock - thanks for the support!
Now that is how you iron like a Boss, Step 5 and 6 are new to me and i like how you make sure on these little details that make a difference
You really are serving the cause Antonio ! Be sure to have me following you till my 50's..
I always iron the back shoulder area first (after the collar then sleeves) at the edge of the board (working round it, ironing it away from you) then I iron one of the front section at the top area first, downwards.

It's a really useful video! More detailed than other videos that teach you the same thing.
Excellent video! I am very meticulous about pressing my dress/casual shirts and these tips have furthered my knowledge extensively. Thank you. Now, if we can see a video on properly pressing pants.

I'm loving these useful tips.Please keep them coming Atonio.
Antonio you have perfect timing The video notification came on my phone while I was ironing a shirt that was giving me a hard time👍👌
A few more practices and I will have it mastered. Hallelujah and thanks Tony.
Great video. I've been doing what you've described for years except for ironing from the outside in on the collars and pockets. This makes so much sense!
Love the thumbnail. Your comic book geek is showing.
Great video! My parents taught me this and it really pays off in your presentation.
Thanks for the refresher. This is very helpful as I am far to reliant on permanent press.
To be honest, I hate ironing, but watching this video and while transitioning into an even greater gentleman I gotta have to start loving ironing now!! Great as always, brilliantly explained, I am compelled to iron now lol.....
This is probably the most useful video yet, for me. So much time spent trying to get a shirt looking right! Saving this video for future reference! Thanks Antonio.
Is that an Anson belt in the video?
This is essential knowledge for any man, thanks! Will definitely share this.
Wow just simple like that! myself I used to iron my shirts on anything flat.
Right on the money. Great content Antonio.
right timing!i was thinking to request this video today.thanks you're great
as usual incredible content but how do you iron odd fabrics like polyester or silk or jeans?
You are my hero!Just make it look so easy, thanks for posting!😻
This has helped me so much, I had no idea what I was doing with an iron
Try using the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to clean the cold iron. Works great.
I'll look into it - thanks!
Great information. I learned about ironing from outside in by trial and error.
Never thought about that much details. Good to know.
Although I have a dryer I do not use it for my dress shirts. I always wash on the gentle cycle or the hand wash cycle of the washing machine and I do not use the heavy duty spin cycle to wring out all the water. I hang dry all my wet shirts on a clothes rod over the bathtub. It dries overnight. It minimizes creases so ironing is easier.
I have 40 dress shirts so washing, drying and ironing is a production line sometimes. I usually go about 10 shirts per load so I can run through a complete cycle of shirts every 4 cycles.
Thank you so much. I've been searching for such video for a long time.
I've never even considered ironing my shirts but I'll start ironing them now thanks to this video!
loved it!! I learned to iron by myself since I was twelve, and I got to say I did do a few steps right :P
thanks a lot! :)
THIS is amazing.. is there a video about sweater tips...
Those tips and tricks come really handy... nice work sir 👌🏻
Thanks Prince - Appreciate it!
THANK YOU FOR THIS OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE !
Awesome Norton.
I wish I had seen this video a couple years ago when I was ironing shirts every day; I think I might have permanently set some yellowing around my collars. Any advice on fixing that?
Have been waiting this since I subscribed. Thanks! =)
Great video. Question, would using a pressing cloth over starch prevent the iron from getting damaged?
Antonio my man you must be psychic because I was actually going to ask you about self cleaning and maintenance. I picked up a steamer yesterday used it last night for my blazer and pocket and it was phenomenal it even came with a creaser attachment. It took me a while to get but pants the had an existing crease it was easy to follow that line touch it up for a fresh crease that looked like got it from the cleaners. I got the Conair extreme steamer
Nice - how long have you been using this?
Real Men Real Style I have had the steamer for a week now and I'm still pleased with it from my jackets, ties, pocket squares and trousers does them all no problem. I might use your iron straight out of the wash method for my shirts though I like that better; but all in all good product.
Loved the tutorial Antonio definitely keep them coming
The best iron a shirt tutorial
Great advice! Thanks! Will you do one for pants, too?
awesome video antonio, i have never really figured out how to properly iron, until now :)
Thanks for watching Remy!
No wonder I've ruined several irons. Never knew why and now I know! Thank you :)
Great video Antonio! Thanks for making it clear and concise.
Thanks for watching Lance!
Thanks a lot! I am horrible at ironing clothes, they are really annoying and time consuming and fidly. When I iron one side, the other side gets creases. i use a flat table though. So that could be the problem
Being a housewife, I really needed it. I shall now be a better iron-lady.
Step 1: back of collar
Step 2: cuffs
Step 3: sleeves
Step 4: back
Step 5: shoulders
Step 6: front and placket
Step 7: front of the collar
Great tips Antonio. LOVE the Iron cover lol. I know you're a huge marvel comic book guy 👍🏻. All the best my friend.
This video a week ago would've been perfect, but thanks for making this! :D
You're most welcome.
Wow, I never thought about if I was ironing my shirts wrong. Thanks for helping me break those bad habits Antonio! Ironing from outside in and spraying water on tough wrinkles had to be two biggest tips I got from this video.
Super!
I would add that the "inside - out" trick applies not only for dark colors but light ones too.
Practicaly every shirt can be ironed from the inside.
Thks for tips and vinegar is an idea. Do you know for washer dryer would this work ?
Great video! Now i can start ironing my shirts
Antonio, wonderful video, especially the shoulder part! But one question-when ironing sleeves, do you press all the way to the end, thus forming a strong line?
Thanks for the tips Antonio! Keep it up :)
Great seeing you here Rafael!

Aw man, I needed this yesterday lol
Great tips! I will be putting them to use!
Very very useful info, thanks man.
What are your thoughts on dobell? They sell suit sometimes really cheap.
Hi, Antonio! Are creases on the sleeves desired in a more casual shirt; for example, a button-up shirt?
Great video! I enjoy seeing how tos. I'd like to see more ironing videos pants, ties, etc. Also clothing maintance hacks. maybe a small sieres? Keep up the great work!
The Basic School taught you well Sir!

I don't iron my shirts most of the time (like 99%), but I really like this video. I think I woudln't think of ironing collar this way... atleast on the first try.
Awesome video! Very useful and practical.

I was gonna request you to make a video about iron a dress shirt. It's what I exactly needed. By the way, sir you may make another video about how to press a pant.
