Hoh, that bluing was the best! My gramma used to use it, too. And on sheets and pillowcases, too. And my Auntie had a mangle -- some kind of fancy device that was just for ironing big flat stuff like sheets and tablecloths and such. It was like a big heated pair of rollers like the wringers on a washing machine, only was big.
Well, I guess I am in the minority.
Do you iron your aloha shirts at least???? |

My friend Rick has a mangle. He mounted it on an old steel workbench, and adapted it to a monster rotisserie. He builds a fire on the table & cooks whole pigs. Tastes almost exactly like kalua pork. Now that's using an iron to best advantage!

| Speaking of jeans, when I was younger, in the summer I'd don a new pair of jeans and jump into a horse tank on the farm or a pond or a lake (same thing, but east or west), and wear thme 'till they dried. Shrink to fit! Best fit evah. Nevah blued 'em 'cause naturally faded was way cool to da cowboys I hung wid'. Oh - my surfin' buddies & me would jump into the ocean - salt water shrunk! |

Sometimes even used starch for formal affairs. Mine even had cuffs like slacks. We wore those with spitshined Florsheims french toe shoes and three quarter sleeve two tone shirts. Hair slicked back like Elvis. Man dose was da daze. I remebah dat new jeans would turn your undaweah blue if you nevah wash um firs. Da jeans dat is. |

When I lived in Utah, the ranch kids would get a new pair of blue jeans each fall. Those were the ones they wore to school--ironed. When they started to fade, they became work pants and they'd get a new pair for school.
When the work pants faded a bit more, they'd donate 'em to the ZCMI for the poor folk.
Then the Japanese started getting hot for used Levis... so a couple of enterprising folks started tooling around the boonies, buying "old" jeans for .$50 and selling 'em overseas for molto yen.
The Utah kids thought it was the stupidist thing they ever saw... imagine some idiot paying good money for an old pair of pants.

I grew up in California. We never ironed anything (my comfort zone). Now, with in-laws in the east, I own blazers, and other shiny clothes, and I've learned to iron.
But I digress... jeans, never. Aloha shirts, not yet Maybe if I slept in one or it fell to the bottom of the closet. |

Back in the high school days when I use to walk five miles, barefoot, thru the blizzard in San Francisco, dress code was ʻlaxed so that we could wear Ben Davis pants as long as they had a crease. So classmates and I ironed those pants. But with blue jeans I just fold them out of the drier and then when needed throw them on.
And I also iron Aloha shirts prn.
