Not that I ever use them, being a slovenly type, but it gets some good use. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-85024 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:02:07 +0000 Pocopiglet 85024@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was always taught the roll up for no wrinkles method of packing (particularly for packing into rucksacks). You roll items up and then pack vertically in the fag packet style of packing for a backpack. I used that method when packing my clothes into a rucksack for going to work in Paris and I had wrinkle free clothing when I got there.</p> <p>I was also taught that if you take your wrinkled clothes (on a hanger) into the shower room (not the shower!) with you, they'll be wrinkle free by the time you get out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-85012 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:23:50 +0000 SRD 85012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Guilty as charged, but it was recollection of previous thread - and useful suggestions from folks - that made me feel 'obligated' to report my new find. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-85005 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:06:13 +0000 cb 85005@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Save the planet - wear a wrinkled shirt.</p> <p>We've discussed wrinkles before. Looks like SRD is serial starter of threads with "wrinkle" in the title:</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2854">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2854</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-85002 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:28:05 +0000 kaputnik 85002@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nothing wrong with a wrinkled shirt. Wrinkles are the new ironed in our office. Well at my desk at least </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84990 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:14:41 +0000 Darkerside 84990@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>*Yeah, what Instography said! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84988 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:14:09 +0000 Darkerside 84988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My usual 'look presentable at work' tactic is:<br /> <ul><li>Non-iron shirt, ironed beforehand</li><li>Lay flat, fold in sleeves, then fold in half</li><li>Place socks and suitably ravishing boxers in a roll at the bottom</li><li>Roll the whole thing up into a chunky sausage for the journey in</li><li>Pair with some of M&amp;S' 'eternal crease' (or similar nonsense) trousers kept at work, which manage to look ruthlessly pressed regardless of trauma sustained on the way in every Monday</li><br /> </ul></p> <p>More detail than you ever wanted on my luggage packing techniques. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84987 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:13:45 +0000 Instography 84987@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That looks intriguing for when I have a to cart a smart shirt to the office or London, which is pretty rare. Otherwise, I'm finding folding the sleeves in and then rolling rather than folding works very well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84983 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:51:44 +0000 Nelly 84983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>WC - that looks the bizzo, let us know about that review - like you, I fold carefully, place in my carradice, and trust to asome kinda blind luck that it comes out ok.</p> <p>Non-Iron shirts also help, of course. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84977 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:52:37 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 84977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In a similar(ish) vein, hoping to get a <a href="http://www.shirtshuttle.com/main/">Shirt Shuttle</a> to test for citycycling in the near future.</p> <p>Normally creases fall out of my shirts within half an hour or so of wearing them, but would be nice to have something coming out looking freshly laundered (plus would be more protection for the shirt). And the size would easily fit in my Carradice (looks about the same size as the sleeve I use for my iPad).</p> <p>Wrinkle releaser does look intriguing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8467#post-84969 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:57:24 +0000 SRD 84969@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>When I was in NA this summer, I spotted a bottle labelled <a href="http://downywrinklereleaser.com/">' wrinkle releaser'</a> in the travel toiletries section of a shop. It's made by (and looks like) Downy fabric softener. </p> <p>Thought it might be worth a try. I didn't find it terribly good on linen or cotton while travelling in the southern hemisphere, but used it to day to good effect on commuter clothes. </p> <p>I'd ironed a pair of light wool-blend dress trousers this morning, but they'd wrinkled badly by the time i got to work. I sprayed on the Downy and hung them up, and by the time I got our of the shower, the wrinkles were gone along with so were my nicely ironed crease marks :( </p> <p>Doesn't seem to be available here yet, but possibly something useful to pick if you're travelling. It even has <a href="https://www.facebook.com/downywrinklereleaser">its own Fb page </a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFu7N3E6MHQ">a youtube video</a> </p>
