nostr:npub1lzxs40ukpkqdw7kmj3tjwrg8akweckw0fcu6gkwh55szn6cwhfasq9ay2f I mostly gave up ironing after I gave up wearing business-formal clothing, over the period 1990-98 (mostly stopped from 1990 but had a couple of consulting gigs that demanded a suit and tie circa 1995-98).

But a big chunk of what made it possible was the advent of wrinkle-free fabrics and fabric treatments. Even casual clothing used to need ironing in the 70s and 80s. Pyjamas, even!
