For the perpetually un-grown up among us, ironing clothes without steaming in creases in the wrong places is mostly totally impossible. Iron one side, wrinkle the crap out of the other. Repeat. Hopefully this genius invention from Quirky will save me (us, I mean us) from spending 15 minutes ironing one dress shirt.
The Outline is remarkably simple: it’s just a flexible steel loop with a handle that slides up and down to expand or retract the loop to fit into pant legs and sleeves. It’s brilliant and I want one. You can help with the pricing and other details of the project over at Quirky, or just sit around and hope that it’s eventually a real thing that you can buy. [Quirky]

I wouldn’t say ‘a Million Times Easier’, perhaps a factor of between one or two would be more accurate.
Assuming any of the guys on Slashdot actually do any ironing…

Success!
OK who the hell irons creases into jeans?
What jeans!?
The picture above appears to show someone ironing creases into jeans.
That isn’t a pair of jeans – it’s a pale blue shirt. You can tell by the cuff and the pleat.
You’re right. Time to clean my glasses.
Or you could just save your money and learn to iron properly. If you’re constantly creasing things in the wrong place then you’re not doing it right. A shirt should take no more than 2-3 minutes to be perfect, even less if you just want it to be wearable.
Or you could just save time and money and not iron anything.:-)
