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?

    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.

        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.
