"Hi there I'm back to iron the sleeve. Now we are almost done here. But don't get sloppy on the sleeves because these are pretty key. Because these have to have nice pleats in them. So what you want to do is you want to fold your sleeve in half so that the seam on the bottom is perfectly lined up. Check the back side to make sure there's no puckers, should lay completely flat, spritz your shirt. Don't be afraid to spritz, spritz the sleeves a lot, because you really want to get that really nice crisp line on the top of your shirts. So I always iron that first and then I go along to the bottom part of the sleeve. It's really nice to have that nice crisp line. Always looks professional and get right up, go right along the seams and when you've done one side, make sure that you flip the shirt over and do the back side. A lot of people think if they've done one side then the other side will look good, but as you can tell it's not ready yet. Still slight, slight puckers in this, slight bumps. Alright. And then you want to do the sleeve part, the collar of the sleeve. So you want to make sure it's opened up all the way and just like the collar around your neck, do the top part, do the inside, and then you do the outside. And then you go ahead and do the other side of this sleeve as well. And that's how you iron the sleeves."
