A permanent press is a fabric that has been chemically processed with methanol to resist wrinkles and hold its shape. Treating fabric with the simplest form of alcohol (methanol) has a lasting effect on the fabric.

This chemical process conditions it for shape and wrinkle resistance. The first permanent press finishes were created by Haggar and used in 1964.
