How do you Iron your way out of this one?

From time to time Im expected to wear a shirt for work. Most days i can get away with wearing a polo shirt but as im a demonstrator I have to scrub up for exhibitions :smiley:

Trying to get a pristine shirt into the office is fugggin impossible on a bike! Ive tried all sorts, wearing under bike gear, rolling it up, and now folding it neatly into a box and getting changed at work. How does everyone else get round it without looking like youve been dragged through a hedge backwards.

:smiley: Ry

Top quality photographic paper there, does the box work? I’m ‘supposed’ to wear a shirt but I think they’ve given up the fight.

Oh and the company I work for even bought an iron and ironing board. Still wont wear a shirt. :smiley:

Wear a V-neck sweater over the top, that way only the collar and tie/neck area have to be pristinely ironed, know one will know the rest is creased to buggery!! :wink:

I like Curtis’s idea.

He has his own iron and board at work:D

I’ve never had a problem with shirts and bike jackets? I wear a shirt most days to work. Try buying thicker shirts, they’ve got to be less prone to creasing.

Otherwise I guess you’re limited to dry-cleaners near work and then just leave shirts at work.

Keep 2 shirts in work ,use a collect and deliver shirt laundry service to ensure your washed and ironed shirts are in the office or wherever you want when you need em .
Google shirt service, there are a few companies that do it in and around london.

Buy a new one from Tesco for £1.50 each time you need one.

I wouldnt have a clue as ive never ironed in my life and don`t intend to start either.

hahim the same! I try to avoid it all counts my boss even told me to have a shave the other day :smiley: whats wrong with the rough look hey??? :smiley:

Ahhrr well the box aproach kinda works and as Im broke and cant afford laundry service and theyre company logo’d shirts I guess ill have to stick with it :smiley:

Corporate ******** :smiley:

use starch… ive used it loads when ive needed to keep my kit looking ironed

I usually where my black PVC gimp outfit, so to be honest it does not effect me. :smiley:

One school I was working at insisted on me wearing a shirt etc so i left a couple there on hangers and took them home to change on weekends. I had my own office but i tended to get in same time as the kids so getting changed out of my leathers was up against the door!!

I wear a shirt every day. I buy the M&S Ultimate Non-Iron shirt - never ironed any of them - they don’t crease hardly at all, and if they do the creases fall out very quickly.

just become a fat bloater n stretch the creases out :smiley:

LOL or get your shirts extra small, that way you’ll look like a ‘trendy’ E4 presenter type person :smiley:

E4 and trendy dont go together. I think you ment look like a kn*b!

As for the shirt issue. If your shirt is creased after wearing it under a bike jacket, hold it above a boiling kettle. The steam will bring all but the most hardy creases out.

I think a previous comment, of leaving at least one ironed in work is a top idea.

I also have to wear a shirt everyday as part of my uniform ,and have never had any problems with it being creased ,i just fold it up loosely put it in a helmet bag then it goes in to my lock bag which is attached to my seat ,get to work give the shirt a shake and its fine .

Quote i heard recently, made me laugh…

I just fold mine and slip it into the backpack. Still looks good when I get to work. Problem is I have to wear the backpack … not the trendiest of looks on the bike :smiley:
