Ironing Kit

Post by Korel »

How do you iron bits of kit (combat 94 stuff) like the DPM shirts and jackets, i'm good with the trousers but where do the creases in the sleeves go ect... from the shoulders of across them?

(sory not used to the laptop keyboard yet.)

Korel'

Soldier 2000 (95' as was)

It's not for ironing, it's for dying in! quote from a DS circa 88'

Jackets and shirts should be creased from the bottom centre of the epaulette to the horizontal seam of the cuff!

It's not difficult mate! but just for you!

1./ Put ironing board in upright horizontal position.

2./ Plug iron in to nearby socket.

3./ Lay garment of choice flat on ironing board.

4./ You are now ready to commence ironing.
