The Basics of Ironing A Brioni Shirt

Shirts are one of the most important components to a man’s wardrobe and investing in a high quality name will undoubtedly cover you for any occasion. Whether it’s for the boardroom, bar or a black tie party, nothing beats the unmistakable craftsmanship of Brioni shirts.

Buying the best tends to instill the wearer with a certain sartorial swagger. And with it comes a duty to always present your shirts as the best versions of themselves. But before you call the nearest dry cleaner, find comfort in learning one of the simplest tricks for taking your shirt to the next level.

The No-Nonsense Guide:

  1. Prep Matters: Before ironing, always undo everything — this means buttons, cuffs and those pesky collar stiffeners. Make sure your ironing board pad is clean so you don’t transfer stains to your freshly cleaned shirt.
  2. Be Quick: Keep the iron moving every few seconds when it’s on the fabric to avoid scorching. Start by ironing the collar —underside first followed by the outside — then focus on the yoke area and the long shoulder panel.
  3. Go Piece by Piece: Next are the sleeves so start by placing one sleeve along the length of the board with the front side up and iron the inside and outside of the cuff first. Repeat with the other sleeve. Finish with the easiest part, the body, and iron one half of the front followed by the back then the remaining half of the front.
  4. Let It Hang: Let your finished shirt hang with just the top button closed. Steer clear of awful wire hangers and invest in a nice wooden set to minimize the wear around the shoulder seams.

Some Common Mistakes:

  1. Trying Shortcuts: It’s tempting to just swipe the iron over the top of the buttons when you’re in a hurry. While mother-of-pearl is more heat-withstanding than say, plastic, the risk of half-melted or broken buttons isn’t worth the time saved.
  2. Over Drying: After removing your shirt from the machine, hang it until it’s slightly damp to make ironing easier. This will give the shirt a nice crisp finish. If you’ve already over-dried your shirts, just dampen them yourself before ironing.
  3. Doing The Dirty: Never iron a shirt that is not 100 per cent clean. This can set stains into the fabric.  Shirts should be changed daily to avoid ingrained dirt.

Buying quality only matters when you make an effort to maintain it. Luckily the next time you buy a Brioni shirt, you’ll have the ironing skills to back it.

Buying a shirt is half the battle.
