I always press my pants because they're pure cotton. And because they were properly tailored to measure, so pressing them makes them last longer, too.
I'm intruiged by the pants-presser appliances I've seen (for example, at Hammacher Schlemmer).
Do these things really work well?

Can't honestly comment - I'm allergic to ironing. Why does pressing prolong the life of the garment?
My father's third ex-wife's new husband-like-person gets all of his suits bespoke in London. He swears by his Corby 3300 (or a model number like that). I've seen it work. It is great, he puts them in the press, pushes a button, and gets perfectly pressed trousers X minutes later. (I think the 3300 has the variable-timing cycles, one of their models has only one cycle)
I intend to get one as soon as I have a house. They're only about $100 on eBay and what a time saver! (of course right now I don't press my trousers at all, but I do want to look nicer at work someday).

The boyfriends stepbrother has a corby and he works in the city in London. You can't tell the difference between them being pressed "properly" and from being in the corby! He did my suit trousers while I was there last and it made a hell of a difference to them! I actually didn't look scruffy!

If you take a bit of care you can also press tops in them. I often use one in a hotel when I am working away from home. I would like one at home but not sure how much power they use - they are switched on for quite some time for one item.

Most arent silly enough to 'press' pure cotton jeans.
Bullshit.
Its unlikely they'd be able to sell them if they didnt.

Exactly! The only possible response, I know!

Do you lend yours out? If so, there could be a queue of women after his body!
Nope! But I *can* train others...
What does pressing pants have to do with "proper tailoring" ?
Hmm. You get better results if you press while you're sewing a garment, but I can't see the relationship either. Perhaps his tailor is lying to him.

He's prattling on about pressing them *after* they're made - horse-stabledoor syndrome? Either that or he thought he'd show off about getting a trouser press?

Absolutely nothing whatsoever.
