Exactly what it says.
Could somebody give us some tips on how to iron properly a pair of trousers that are made of wool and 10% polyamid nylon?

Thanks

hmmm... i would iron them in the nylon setting and if you can, use steam

or else drop them by the dry cleaners & ask for press only

And if you really need to iron them lay the iron on a wet piece of fabric rather than directly on the pants.

The two things I was going to say. Especially the second tip.

I would also add that I always iron my trousers inside out to avoid the inevitable shine which results over time.

I don't well off to work three minutes to get there.

Shirts are better ironed the inside out first, because a very hot iron spoils the fabrics, and finally you can refine the work from the outside.

Excellent,Kegmama.Thanks,that's the sort of answer that i was after.I've already repped you for tonight but i would again if i could.

I rarely do myself and that's why i'm hopeless at it.

I usually just hang the item(s) in the bathroom and steam it up really well with the shower.

Ironing is fine if it gets you the job that you want.

[Cantankerous]

i don't even have an iron. take your pants to the dry cleaners, they'll press them for you.
