I'm gonna start bringing a portable clothes iron around to get out the creases from activist flags, it's not a huge deal but it just always irks me a little. Their image would be even more impressive with a nice creaseless flag.

    The cheap, thin nylon is incredibly easy to melt. I buy a new, thick Pride flag every June for my house as the old one is tattered and faded by then. Usually run it through the steam dryer 2-3 times and then hang it out on a nice hot day, and the wrinkles relax. An iron is easy to overdo it with as I learned with a cheap Trans Pride flag one year.

    there must be some sort of temperature setting on most irons that can handle delicates.
    but yeh the fold wrinkles do stand out.
    though not more than the half assed gear the gestapo is wearing.
