What is the proper way to iron denim pants?

Answer 1

Here is the proper way to iron so they say lol. I would say iron based upon their recommendations then, depending on how you prefer your pants, crease down front etc. I would just iron to your style preference. I dont think there is a correct way to iron for looks. Hope this is helpful.

# The number one rule is to check each garment label to determine the fabric content so you can set the correct temperature. Most irons have gauges with fabrics listed on them so you can set the iron accordingly. In general, synthetics should be ironed at low, wool and silk at medium, and cotton and linen at high. Iron a garment on a too-hot setting and it can become shiny or, worse, burn or melt.
# Work in up-and-down strokes, following the line of the fabric. Circular or zigzag strokes can stretch or otherwise damage fabric.
# With knits, press and lift the iron (rather than stroking it) to avoid stretching the fibers.
# To set a crease, use a burst of steam. For fabrics that require low temperatures, set the steam on low and hold the iron two to three inches away from the fabric. For those requiring higher temperatures, set the steam on high and hold the iron six to eight inches away.
# To ensure that a press sets, let the garment cool on the ironing board or a hanger for five minutes. If handled while warm, the garment can wrinkle.
# With delicate fabrics or intricate details, such as pin tucks, gathers, or ruffles, don't bother pressing — just hang the pieces up and steam them. If a material won't respond to steam, take the garment to the dry cleaner.

I don't iron inside out (which I should, because my jeans fade when I iron them). I think all jeans should be ironed with the seam to the side, not in the middle, unless you are a plus size, in which case front crease will make your legs look longer/skinnier. I don't like to put my jeans in the dryer b/c it makes them fade easily, but now I moved to NY and its to cold to air dry. A pro to drying in the dryer is that it is much leaves the denim much softer than air drying.

not to iron them at all....they're denim. Throw em in the dryer after they're washed and the wrinkles usually fall right out of em. Or put them in the dryer with a dampe towel to get wrinkles out when they are dry. But, if you must iron them, do NOT under any circumstances put pleats in them! Iron them seams together (some will tell you to iron them inside out...but then you can't see the little seams you've ironed into them!)

Answer 4

Personally I let them air dry and then I spray them with a liquid startch mixture, and let them air dry again. Once they are dry you can fold them and wear when your ready or you can iron them on the cotton setting. But use a handkerchief or bandana on the area that your ironing. This prevents the shiny. If you are creasing your jeans, they will stay creased all day.
