    Folded my shirts like this. Put them in a suitcase. Two airports and a bunch of stevedores later they came out of my case in excellent condition. Many thanks for taking the time to show us.

    That shirt looked so neat, that I got an instant urge to go and fold a shirt using that method! I don't care even if it's one o'clock at night!

    I started using this technique with my dress shirts. Then my casual shirts. Then my t-shirts. Becomes addictive after a while.

    For those asking for dimensions of the board, he said it's slightly bigger than A4. An A4 sheet of paper is approximately 8 1/4" x 11 3/4".

    Always nice to see someone who knows what he is doing. I used to keep the cardboard that came with the shirts for folding the shirt and they used to put a th8n cardboard piece under the collar to keep it’s shape great help for storage.thanks for the video.

  • @TheTatmandu
    @TheTatmandu 10 років тому +18

    Been doing this for years using a plastic clip board. I had also bought a cool plastic contraption in Singapore that was made for this. I use trifold and fold the arms going down towards the bottom of the shirt. As for the collar, if you fold on an ironing board, you can have the collar overhang the edge of the board. When you stack two shirts, stack them with buttons facing each other with the collars at opposite ends. If you don't have the shirt bags, the plastic bags from the dry cleaners work great or even larger plastic grocery bags.

    You are missing a marketing opportunity :- Official Lewin folding boards in proportion to each shirt size, and a special Shirt folding table with soft top and depression for the collar to rest in during the face down part of the operation. Nice video, and at last I understand how to deal with the sleeves.

    I was stacking them about 3-4 tall. The collars would hold shape pretty well, but the collars of the lower shirts flattened over time, comparable to the compression shirt collars can experience when bunched on a rack. It seemed to be due to the weight of the other shirts, but time also appeared to be a factor.
