How to Iron Collars

Video Transcript

"Today I'm going to teach you how to unpucker a collar. Now a lot of what happens with men's structured collared shirts is it's left with these like pucker marks around the collars. Pucker, just like that. I see it all the time. Mostly on men's shirts. Sometimes I see it walking around in a crowd and i just want to grab it and iron it and get them straight. Thankfully I have a shirt with no man attached to show you how to get rid of that pucker. Take your shirt. Remember always shake it. This is just a mens button down shirt. What I'm going to do is I'm going to lay the collar flat and I'm going to lay the front side of the shirt down first. So I'm actually looking at the inside of the shirt. Going to go ahead get some steam going. And I'm going to slowly go across it. Doing this I'm ironing on the inside instead of just on the outside? This is what is going to get rid of those puckers. Keep it moving. Always keep it moving. Alrighty now I'm going to go ahead and do the other side. Place it down. Place it flat. Same motion. Now remember I have little divots in the front of my iron here. That means I can get around these teeny buttons that are on men's collared shirts. So that area can get smooth, too. Now if your iron is dragging a little bit it means it's too hot so you want to maybe adjust the temperature. Alright. And that is how you unpucker a shirt."
