Introduction
Your waterproof jacket has been wrinkled, crinkled and creased. Ironing your jacket can help prevent creases that can lead to excessive wear in your jacket. Every jacket is different so you'll need to pay attention as you iron your jacket. Don't iron over drawcords, and watch for other closures that can create a bumpy ironing surface. Don't have an ironing board? No problem. Fold up a towel on a solid surface, such as a counter or table, to create a makeshift ironing board.
What you need
-
-
Unzip your clean jacket and slide one half over your ironing board.
-
Flatten your jacket with your hands.
-
-
-
-
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.
Thanks very much for your great sharing! It is indeed really helpful. I was wondering how to clear the “wrinkles” on rain jackets we have newly bought for hiking use.
thank you so much yall helped me out a lot
Great advice…really helpful…! Thank you..:-)
Helpful! But I am wondering if a jacket that is old has that gray waterproofing fused lining disintegrating at the neckline where the hood comes but is otherwise okay, could any fusible patch work? (It is not Patagonia). beinzig6@gmail.com
and after all this, is it still waterproof. no mention of reproof g it. wondering as other sites, from the people that actually create the jackets, says no. do t do it. as it affects the waterproofness. which is, as we know... the whole point of the said jacket

Thank you, this is a good suggestion for foreigners who speak Chinese. Even if they did not lose their marbles, they did not abstain, but there is still no clue.
oohhhhh really helpful thanks for this blog…. But I have a question did we follow these steps on leather jackets??
I want to express my gratitude for sharing this helpful article that I personally think is very good. If you are fond of this type of jacket, I highly recommend you to check it out. Tops and bottoms online store.
I was not aware that this type of jackets can be ironed also.
