efficacy of pants pressers?

Actually, it does. Ever tried to press pants that have improperly cut and sewn? Can't even iron them to look neat - so I can just imagine how they would fare in a press! Cynthia

Yes, but pressing them *after* they've been made has absolutely no effect on the standard of manufacture - it can't! And I still fail to see what pressing can possibly do for their longevity as a garment apart from possibly shortening it by weakening the fibres through scorching.

That's my point, sort of - if they aren't made correctly, no amount of pressing will make them fit properly, but pressing them won't extend the useful life.

Jeans?!? I don't own any.

Jeans *can* look good.... if they're cut to measure.... and heavily starched. But perhaps you don't do that to your garments, either. I do.

You're not invited to my coffee-klatsch. Maybe a group of blind individuals will enjoy your company?

Aha. Now we see. "Coffee-klatsch" ... made-to-measure trousers (and no jeans)... and starched drawers ... says it all ...

My Dad still refers to jeans as "overalls", but then he is in his 80s, bless his little (unstarched) cotton socks

anyone fancy a pint later?

Only if I can wear my (unpressed, unstarched) jeans. ;-)

More fool you.

And irrelevant to your original anyway.

Pathetic, really.

Corse I dont.

More fool you.

Not interested in pathetically anal obessives...

Plenty who arent blind do, thanks.

You start a thread, you can choose the included groups.

You're following-up to my OP, I have chosen the relevant groups. you must respect my decision.

Keep your can't-think-outside-a-VERY-small-box hands off my diversity-decisions.

Not if he doesnt want to.

Go shove your head up a dead bear's arse.

You're welcome to starch and press your pants first.

corkscrew leg syndrome...

The only thing I press are customer garments and costumes. The only things I'll ever starch are ruffs.

I only iron anything after severe provocation - like a broken husband.
