[Lemonpeach]

With "intelligent & smart" fabrics, the clothes iron may become redundant.

[danny8x8]

ironing is a waste of energy. I don't mean human energy, but electricity. Imagine how much energy can be saved if there's no need to use the iron worldwide.

They apply something to these fabrics to make it non iron. Repeated washing will reduce its non iron characteristics
No issues for people who change to new shirts every 2 years but for people who wear it for a decade, it'll starf to be wrinkly by 3rd or 4th year.
