Does starch reduce wrinkles on khaki pants?

Question

I am needing to buy new khaki pants, but I don't want to buy "wrinkle free" pants because they always feel stiff and not as comfortable as the ones I currently have (Polo chinos). The problem is that they always become wrinkled all but immediately after sitting down.

Would starching them help reduce the wrinkles, or am I just going to have to buy "wrinkle free" khakis?

Answer 1

My son wear khakis everyday and I use spray sizing when I iron them. He comes home looking 'fresh' which is a feat for a teenager.
Downey Wrinkle Release works to remove the wrinkles if you don't iron, but it does not keep the wrinkles from coming back. It is better than nothing at all.
Good luck...btw, my guy hates the wrinkle free pants also, but fabric softener does help them not to be so stiff.

Answer 2

Wrinkle Free Khaki Pants

Answer 3

I think if you starch the khakis you like, then they will become stiff like the wrinkle-free ones. But I also think that the wrinkle-free ones might become less stiff after you wash and wear them a little. I would buy one pair of the wrinkle-free ones and see if they become more comfortable with wear.

Answer 4

I have found a product that keeps clothes soft and not only reduces wrinkles but seems to prevent new ones from forming! It's called Downy Wrinkle Releaser. You can spray it on the fabric and smooth out the wrinkles and they will disappear without ironing....or you can use it as spray starch while ironing and it will prevent wrinkles!! This stuff is amazing!!

Answer 5

I don't know what to tell you about the starch, but the few pair of wrinkle free ones my husband has drive him nuts, and he can't stand how stiff they feel.

Answer 6

use sizing. it is with the starch in the store and costs about the same, but it will work wonders for what you want.

Answer 7
