Pro Club 6.5 oz. heavyweight t-shirts
are the most popular in Los Angeles because they are thick, tight
around the neck, and available in tall sizes. They are also popular
because you can wash them and they still look good. There is nothing
like the look of a brand new t-shirt, but I am going to share with you
my personal technique to wash, dry, and iron Pro Club t-shirts so they
last a long time.
-
Wash t-shirts in cold water only
-
Let t-shirts hang-dry naturally, do
not place in the dryer
-
Iron the t-shirt inside-out, only the
body of the shirt at this time. * You should use the spray and steam
function on your iron or use a spray bottle to mist water on the
section of the shirt you are ironing at that time. If you insist on
using spray starch, spray the area with the mist water first and
then spray your starch. Note: this will create a flakey residue
because of the starch, but since you are ironing the shirt
inside-out it’s OK.
-
Flip the t-shirt right- side out and
finish ironing out the wrinkles created by flipping, now you should
iron the sleeve so you can get that crease. If you feel a need for
more starch, stop!!! You can use the water spray bottle, but not
starch because it might flake up. * You should lay a white bandana
or white handkerchief over the t-shirt when ironing the outside.
Note: I never apply heat directly to the outside of the t-shirt. The
bandana is important so you don’t burn the white t-shirt and lose
that crisp white look. Also, if it’s a color shirt you don’t have
that burned ashy color look.
