wrinkling irons

An iron that is designed to give your clothes an extremely wrinkled look.

why?

Perhaps to add a bit of texture and visual impact to an ordinarily plain shirt or pair of pants, or perhaps it could be another way for youths to distance themselves from their clean-cut suit and tie wearing parents. Its new, its slightly different, buy! buy! buy!

       Idea still has a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out.

       Unnecessary (having had some experience with an item of clothing that was meant to be wrinkled): simply wash the item, then screw it up into a tight little bundle and let dry.

       As [DrCurry] indicates, no special iron required. My wife has a skirt that she "irons" by twisting it mercilessly and then tossing it in to the drawer.   

       I do think that an elaboration on the proposed idea might work. A roller iron with a repeating pattern that would press designs in to the fabric might be interesting. Something along the lines of a wheel type rubber stamp that I've seen. A wrinkle pattern could be one many available wheels. It might be too subtle unless the ironing board surface was made to be very pliant.

       It may be unnecessary, as it were - but the idea is for wrinkling which takes time and energy, rather than using common sense.
