Flat irons or sad irons were first made by blacksmiths in the Middle ages, ('sad' coming from Middle English, meaning 'solid', as they were made of cast iron) to keep a Lord and Lady looking sharp. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a well pressed outfit denoted a social status desirable to many.
