efficacy of pants pressers?

In article , The Real Bev of The Vast
Right-Wing Conspiracy uttered

Hmm. You get better results if you press while you're sewing a
garment, but I can't see the relationship either. Perhaps his tailor
is lying to him.

He's prattling on about pressing them *after* they're made -
horse-stabledoor syndrome? Either that or he thought he'd show off
about getting a trouser press?

What does pressing pants have to do with "proper tailoring" ?

Actually, it does. Ever tried to press pants that have improperly cut and
sewn? Can't even iron them to look neat - so I can just imagine how they
would fare in a press!

Yes, but pressing them *after* they've been made has absolutely no
effect on the standard of manufacture - it can't! And I still fail to
see what pressing can possibly do for their longevity as a garment apart
from possibly shortening it by weakening the fibres through scorching.

That's my point, sort of - if they aren't made correctly, no amount of
pressing will make them fit properly, but pressing them won't extend
the useful life.

Jeans?!? I don't own any.

Jeans *can* look good.... if they're cut to measure.... and
heavily starched. But perhaps you don't do that to your garments,
either. I do.

You're not invited to my coffee-klatsch. Maybe a group of blind
individuals will enjoy your company?

Aha. Now we see. "Coffee-klatsch" ... made-to-measure trousers (and no
jeans)... and starched drawers ... says it all ...

My Dad still refers to jeans as "overalls", but then he is in his 80s,
bless his little (unstarched) cotton socks

anyone fancy a pint later?

Only if I can wear my (unpressed, unstarched) jeans. ;-)

And irrelevant to your original anyway.

Pathetic, really.

Corse I dont.

Plenty who arent blind do, thanks.
