Step 4

Starting near the center, iron the jacket in one smooth stroke running parallel to the zipper.
Only iron in one direction. Each stroke should go in the same direction. Change directions only when you move to a new section of the jacket.
Do not press down with the iron. Allow the heat and weight of the iron to do the work.
Always keep the iron moving. Stopping in one place can result in burnt fabric.

Step 5

Remove the towel from your jacket.
Inspect your work.
If it looks as though the iron did nothing, you can increase the heat of your iron by one setting and try ironing again.
If your work looks good, position another section of the jacket flat on the ironing board, re-cover it with the towel and repeat the process until your whole jacket is wrinkle-free.
Don’t forget to turn off the iron when you finish.
