Oh yes, do I remember pants stretchers. I had four brothers and absolutely hated ironing their jeans. Yes, we sprinkled them, rolled them up to even out the moisture, then ironed and ironed and ironed. EVERYTHING! Even my dad and brothers' tee shirts! I was so happy when polyester came out! Yuck now, but oh the memories!
