Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 11, 2023

Assuming it’s a shirt made to be wrinkle-free.

I heard pluggers out of the Marvel universe have their own “Iron Man”…

Yes, that’s what I do, although I often put shirts through a short wrinkle release cycle in the drier first, after the main dryer cycle.

Yes, wrinkle release is the plugger cycle in the drier. Pluggers wish they also had that cycle for their face!

Only wearT-shirts with long sleeves and a pocket.

All of my clothes are wash and wear regardless of what the label reads.

That’s all you need to do with Wind River 100% cotton shirts.

Yepper!

Works For Me :-)

What is this iron you mention? Seriously, with most clothes, if you don’t leave it bunched up, you don’t get enough wrinkles to warrant heating an iron

I fold some right out of the dryer tho the dryer might have to be run a few times… over a few days..

The only time I iron a shirt is if the collar points on my flannel shirts are curled in or the pocket flaps are curled. All my other shirts are wash & wear, i.e. essentially wrinkle-free.

I don’t iron! Wife does if she wants my t shirts ironed.

Oh yeah, hangers…

Why bother with a hanger when there is a perfectly good exercise bike with handles.

If I ever visit San Diego, if I see a guy who looks like an unmade bed, I’ll know who it is.

what’s a hanger?

If I get something out of the dryer and it needs to be ironed, it goes to Good Will.

Yep…taking from dryer when still just a bit damp, shaking out and hanging works fine for most shirts. 100% cotton will still need a touch from the iron. Strange that flannel shirts seem to do fine though.

That’s the only way to iron shirts!

“Irons?” What’s “ironing?” Oh yeah, that thing my grandmother used to do….

This Plugger hangs most of her shirts on hangers to dry.

Sometimes we put them in the dryer for a minute or so…..

Is there any other way?

never has a comic described me more than this one

I’m a Drip Dry kinda guy.

Spot on. 100% cotton. Why should it pretend to look like anything other than cotton? I do not want my clothes competing with me on who is less wrinkled.

In the spring and summer I wear Crazy Shirts tee shirts, and the fall and winter I wear sweatshirts from my travels. The only time something needs ironing is when I’m on a cruise and my dress shirt needs it and I just send them to the cleaners.

Told my Mom that I used gravity for my shirts. Never convinced her.

I only iron our 18th century reenacting clothing but some items – such as his neckcloth or my neckerchief (a yard by a yard square of linen (or if cheap like us – cotton which was too expensive a fabric then to use for same – linen was much less expensive) white fabric which is folded in half to a triangle and worn by women over their other clothing, pinned (straight pin – no safety pins then) closed at the front where the two ends meet.
