I. Introductory Concept
In general, all types of pants should be ironed except cargo pants and jeans. This is because
of their informal nature. Wool trousers should be pressed between dry cleanings when needed, such
as after unpacking for a business trip. Most cotton trousers, like chinos, are washed at home, and
should be pulled from the dryer slightly damp. They should be ironed at this point for the easiest time
pressing. Synthetic dress slacks are often dry cleaned, although this isn’t really needed, and should
be pressed between wearing, when wrinkles appear.

Important Points on Ironing of Pants.
Press the iron (pick it up, put it down); do not push it across the clothing.
Examine the trousers for stains and remove the stains/dirt BEFORE ironing.
Otherwise you will have a permanent stain.
Ironing time is not an exact science — but the rule should be as little time as it
takes to press out the wrinkles. Steam helps a lot. I start with 2 seconds, then
modify the time depending on the fabric thickness and reaction to pressing.
Ensure the iron is the correct temperature for your trousers. For example, wool
can easily be damaged by too much heat. You need to let the iron cool and make
sure it is set correctly when ironing trousers after doing shirts (which are normally
made from cotton and thus need a higher temperature setting). For this reason, I
always recommend ironing your trousers before ironing your shirts.
