Might have just been my parents but I remember ironing clothes being so integral to life during childhood but I think I’ve ironed maybe a dozen things as an adult. What happened?

My dad wore a dress shirt and tie to work.
I wear pajama pants and a t shirt. And sometimes just the shirt.
So I iron a lot less.
I wear a dress shirt to work every day. They’re all no-iron; they don’t wrinkle and are wearable out of the dryer.
Textiles have come a long way in the past 50 years.
I’m not old you’re old.
Funny thing is: I switched from cheap T shirts to dress shirts after I bought one good quality one for a job interview.
They don’t get hot in the heat, wick away moisture, keep you warm when it’s cold, don’t shrink or wrinkle, last a good 10 years of heavy use and look professional no matter who you’re with.
I don’t know why my parents’ generation ever abandoned them.
That’s great except I have been told by my boss and my boss’s boss that me looking like a shlub gives me more technical credibility.
