Can anyone explain how to fold shirts???

I need to pack my bags for a trip in a few days, but I can't fold shirts right. I mean, I fold them like I fold t-shirts. They get too wrinkled. I know there is a proper way. My mom can do it, but I don't want to have to get her to fold my crap up when I go home.

You put the shirt with the arms spread out on a bed or table, with the back up. Fold the sleeves diagonally downward, then fold up from the bottom.

The basic strategy is not to fold along the collar.

I'm pretty sure that's the way clothing stores pack shirts.

Thanks man.

button the shirts first though ;-)

 

[Spoooon]

Yeah, I figured that part out.

i fold all my t-shirts and my nice button up shirts are hung in the closet...i'm screwed if i ever have to fold them...maybe i should learn from friends who have worked at the gap...those people fold clothes in the air like in 2 sec...i need a table or a bed and it still takes me like 2 min...well not really...but longer than the gap people

Some stores cheat. They have some kind of frame that they use to fold the shirts around. Maybe I need to get one of those.

I believe that frame thing helps u with where to fold.
I usually iron my clothes in a way to fold it. Make sense ?

Its like a clip board type of thing. They just lay it on the back and fold the arms around and the bottom up, slide it out, and voila! Man, I wish they sold those things (cheap). Making one was one disaster...
