Quoted on Hamish 100th kilt thread by Barb T.

The iron has a teflon sole plate cover that lets you press directly on wool without a press cloth. Although the pressing system was expensive, I've saved its cost many times over. I can press a kilt in 1/3 the time that it used to take me, I can actually see what I'm doing, and the quality of the press is much better.

End quote.

Does anyone know of a cheaper version. My old iron has just packed up after 30+ years. UK supplier.
