ZoeyVictoria Posted September 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2014 And for a backup plan, "Will I actually care about wrinkles when the time comes?" I think about wrinkles when I am planning, but I have never, ever noticed wrinkles when I am on a ship; neither in my clothes or in somebody else's.

nelblu Posted September 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My only concern is my suit(s) and dress shirts. I pack them worn and wrinkled and on the first nite, I get them dry cleaned and ready for the formal nites. The other leisure clothes basically are in good/decent shape and when I hang them up, most of the wrinkles are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolaFireLI Posted September 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I always pack a small/travel size bottle of Downy Fabric Refresher and then hang the said wrinkled garment/shirt in the bathroom when I'm taking a hot shower to get ready for dinner. By the time I'm out of the shower, not only am I clean & refreshed, but so are my clothes, and they are wrinkle-free! Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted September 4, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) I roll everything except dressy clothes. For my formal/cocktail dresses and DH's dress pants, sport coat/jacket, khakis and dress shirts, those all go in dry cleaner bags and folded usually in thirds. Other than that, we just go with the flow and have never had really wrinkled clothes. Most wrinkles fall out when clothes are hung up anyway. I avoid linen and 100% cotton which tend to wrinkle easily. Edited September 4, 2014 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Chew Posted September 5, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 5, 2014 What a fun thread! We moved into our second home many years ago after our third child was born ... eight-and-a-half years later we moved out and I found my iron & ironing board ... I hadn't even known they were missing. Two houses later ... at least I know where they are sitting and gathering dust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted September 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Most of my clothing would have a heart attack if touched with an iron!!:eek: Sent from my SM-G900P using Forums mobile app LOL My DW and I had been married or 7 or 8 years and one day she asked if I had seen the iron. Of course I had. I went out to the garage and over to my workbench where it had been stored since I have been using it for laminating edge banding to cabinet frames for the past 7 or 8 years.

Fat Paul Posted September 5, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 5, 2014 When I was in the working world I was quite the sartorialist. I own over fifty suits blazers and sport coats, Brooks Bros etc.. Now that I am retired it's shorts and flip flops. Formal night is chinos and a blazer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a UK resident I have often wondered whether there is a British version of Downy. I have never come across anything that seems to be similar. Any suggestions fellow countrymen/women?
