    Hiya, try a damp tea towel and steam only from the iron.
    To stop shine when ironing turn clothes inside out and iron the inside.
    This might not help ironing on a badge though.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    I googled it and some people say to press it with a damp tea towel then brush the shiny mark away. Some say add a bit of vinegar to the water you use to wet the tea towel.

    What's the blazer made of? If it's synthetic it will be difficult to get out a shiney mark. If it's wool or a wool belend though damp it down a bit and brush against the nap of the wool with a clean toothbrush.
