Do you or your significant other iron blue jeans?

No Way!!!! Put ’em in the dryer for 10 minutes and then hang them up to finish drying. Smooth ’em a bit and fold ’em and you are all set!!!

Just make sure that you hang them on the line the right way and wear them few a few minutes before heading out and they’re good to go.

Nope. If they are wrinkled from sitting in the dryer I give them a spray of water and fluff for 5 min or so.

Never.
If my DH wanted them ironed I would do it because I love him, but I would consider it a ridiculous request and he would owe me big time.
But then one of the reasons I love him is because he isn’t the kind of guy who wants his bluejeans ironed, so it would never happen.

No! Ironing is against my religion. 😉 It should be outlawed and considered abuse. LOL

Nope! I’m with Marguerite. If he wanted them that way I’d do it — it’s my love language, acts of service, but as it is, his cotton shirts and khakis get ironed. Jeans stay in the washer a day, if they don’t smell, into the dryer. Sit there a day or two, then shaken severly, folded, and into the drawer. Or into a basket, where he’ll find them after his drawer is empty.

We haven’t had a dryer in a few years, so on a few occassions I have had to.

I believe that there are laws against that in many states, and I am definitely a law-abiding citizen! Besides, jeans are meant to be soft, comfy and a little on the worn-in side. Ironing them would ruin that.

No way. But . . . when I was a teenager, sometimes my jeans weren’t quite dry ater being washed and hung out to dry. I’d put them on the wood stove and use the kettle filled with water to “iron” them dry. That’s as close as I have ever gotten to ironing jeans.

Nope! I haven’t broken out an iron in quite a long time. If I did it would be for a dress shirt or that type of thing.
Into the dryer on high for a few minutes and they are as good as new. 🙂

Um, NO! My DH doesn’t iron anything, really. But he does make sure his jeans are folded and hung right out of the dryer, so I guess there is some attention to wrinkle prevention!

Real Oklahoma cowboys wear starched, creased jeans. They should be able to stand up by themselves. Of course, one usually takes them to the cleaners for this treatment. I’m not married to a cowboy, so we don’t starch or iron our jeans in our little corner of Oklahoma.

Tumble dried is good enough for us. Now slacks though are a different story.

I’m married to an Oklahoma cowboy as Jan made reference to in her comment. He takes all of his jeans (Wranglers, of course) to the cleaners to be starched. As Jan pointed out, the jeans do stand up by themselves. Thankfully, since he takes his jeans to the cleaners I do not have to iron them. As for my own jeans, I do not iron them. I try not to iron anything unless absolutely necessary.

Though I am fully capable of operating an iron, I prefer to leave the task to professionals — the drycleaner gets all the jeans & shirts & when I pick them up, they’re all crisp, starched, ironed & seamed… I tried starching & ironing jeans myself, but they came out looking like they’d had Elmers Glue dumped on them and they were really uncomfortable.

i rock my jeans wit a cuff and a crease. a razor sharp crease. so this does require ironing and lotsa startch. taking them to the cleaners to get them pressed is easist, but doing it myself is cheaper.

It is a southern way of life. People in the south wear pressed jeans. It is a subtle thing here that often goes unnoticed by most yankees
