trouser press

Pants smoothing device

A trouser press is a device that holds trousers flat between heated panels to remove wrinkles and restore creases.

Once common in hotel rooms and homes, it offered a gentler alternative to ironing dress pants.

The appliance has largely fallen out of fashion as casual clothing has displaced formal trousers.
