7. Clean clothing. Wear clean and pressed clothing that fit you well!

You seem to be missing a great many things, like "empathy" and "tact" and the ability to mind your own business, but there is one aspect of your lack to which I'm particularly qualified to speak.

Most modern consumer textiles do NOT get "pressed". I'll spare you the lengthy lecture on how people's aversion to ironing ruined texiles and the planet near-simultaneously. To sum up: the vast majority of your clothing is made from chemically-treated, highly processed fibers, and/or plastics and plastic blends. This was designed to eliminate the need for ironing (and lower expense). So unless you're wearing costly outfits, your day-to-day attire shouldn't require an iron, and may in fact be harmed by the use of one. If you have the money to buy those sorts of clothes for everyday wear, you probably have someone else taking care of their maintenance (which will be considerable; that's the whole reason we started this little game).

You're also going to have to learn some leniency when it comes to the "that fit you well" bit. Again, unless you have a bespoke wardrobe or a personal tailor, or know how to fit and sew, your off-rack clothing will probably fit you "well enough". Culturally, we seem to have decided that's alright. Most people don't have the first clue about what their clothes are made of, let alone how they're cut or finished. The idea of fast fashion and a lack of sewing skills basically ruined clothing decades ago, and it's getting worse, not better. If you notice it, you're the exception (or you work in the industry).

That is very interesting. Empathy and tact seem to only be necessary when critiquing a specific demographic on this board. Empathy and tact are not required when critiquing other groups (eg. the ghetto demographic that buys Coach Factory Outlet handbags, southerners, midwesterners, etc). No one is above critique, and no one here gets a pass. If you’re parading around in public wearing wrinkled clothes, have foul body odor, only shower once or twice a week, haven’t established a skin care routine, have discolored teeth, etc, you are being criticized in this thread.

As for the nonsense mentioned about modern  fabrics not needing to be ironed, I disagree. [b]I have purchased clothing items at every price point. Nothing in my wardrobe has ever been damaged by the iron. Not 1 item in 35+ years. Delicate fabrics are steamed instead of ironed.[/b] And virtually all of my professional clothing gets tailored. I have broad shoulders and a small bust, so structured tops need to be altered to fit my body perfectly. Alterations and tailoring should not be cost prohibitive to all of the high net worth executives that seem to post on this board.

I see nothing cruel, tactless, or I empathetic about the original post. If some of the comments offend you, it’s because they apply to you. Take the negative feedback and use it to improve, like you do in the workplace.[/quote]

So you did or didn't "press" them? A steamer is not an iron. And if you used either on poly fabrics (the sort you'd find if you and your attitude went slumming for "every price point" articles of clothing), you 100% did damage the fabric. You may not have worn the piece enough to notice, and you probably don't know what to look for, but...

Yeah, there's really no point in trying to educate someone like you. You won't take your own advice and use the feedback to improve, you'll just come back with some ridiculous (and inarguably racist) nonsense rant about how you feel superior to others because your clothes aren't wrinkled.

You're ugly. You have an ugly spirit, and no amount of fancy dress is enough to hide that. Imagine if you cared this much about literally anything that actually mattered to the world... but you don't. You post screeds about this, with the sole purpose being "judge others from a place of smug self-righteousness". You may not see the cruelty, and/or the lack of tact and empathy, but they're there, loud and clear. Just like your foul attitude.

Hideous. [/quote]

I don’t know how else to explain this to you. Ironing my clothes has not damaged them in any way. Feel free to believe that because you obviously want to believe it.

And once again, you are making lots of assumptions about me. And you aren’t even certain which of the 15 pages of anonymous posts are mine. [/quote]

I am responding in thread to the post someone made earlier. If that's not you, well, enjoy your trollolols, but it sure sounds like you. As for your statement (if it was you) that your clothes at "every price point" weren't damaged, like I said previously, the likely were and you're too ignorant to know or notice. It's not a question of my personal beliefs, though I do have a great deal of personal experience with textiles to draw from. It's simple science: some modern fabrics were specifically designed to not need ironing, and are, in fact, damaged by it. Microtears, changes in texture, weakening of the individual fibers, etc aren't always visible, but they are there, and over time, they compromise the overall structural integrity of the fiber, and the garment made from it.

Feel free to believe that that doesn't happen because you really want to make ironed clothes a thing again, but the facts are what they are. Irons aren't necessary for most modern fabrics, and can and do cause damage to some, and you're an ugly, argumentative, ignorant ass.[/quote]
