unironed

Fresh from dryer

Unironed describes fabric or clothing that hasn't been pressed with an iron to remove wrinkles: He grabbed an unironed shirt from the pile.

The word implies a slightly rumpled appearance, though whether this matters depends on the garment and occasion.

Some fabrics are meant to look unironed; for others, it suggests neglect or haste.
