By helping that one customer, he's helped over a million struggling bag-packers. Well done sir.
Well, thanks to that one customer too ... :-)
3.4 million and counting! I wonder if this guy has ever seen this video and his impact.
I could watch this man fold suits all day.
"Too much pressure, too much wrinkle" ~ Wise words from the great tailor.
Why? I show you.
I watch this like 1-2 times per year just to feel the level of calm it brings
He folded that shirt like a master
By the way - the real credit for this goes to Jacky Tam (the person in the video) at British Tailers in Hong Kong. They are at 8-B Carnarvon Road, TST, Kowloon, Hong Kong. They were so good! The jacket that I wear all the time is the one I got there.
This man could break your arm with his pinkie. Easy. With no wrinkles. Awesome.
Instructions were smooth as silk! *10/10*
Just like the suit.
Hey gang. Places like Lowe's (in the US) sell XL Ziplock bags that are 24 in x 20 in and work great for this. They are about $6 for 4.
You can tell by the way he handles the materials how much respect he has for his garments, and pride in his work. Excellent instruction and display of professionalism.
For those who can't find a big zip bag, use a garbage bag and tie it off with a rubber band or bungee cord. Works great.
I was looking for instructions on how to pack a suit jacket to post and saw this. He treats the suit with such reverence and makes the whole process look like a work of art.
this is what the world needs more of. thank you jacky tam shoutout British Tailors, 8-B Carnavan Road, T.S.T., Kowloon, Hong Kong. professional beyond professional!
This guy's the bomb! Best approach for folding I ever ran across.
This guy is skilled! I rewatched and wanted to hit the like button again but it was not possible...
Hong Kong don't fuck around. Suits are their culture.
One of the many arts the British imparted on us , a shame the Chinese are taking it away though.
Brian LO It's too bad. The British should have "given it back" to (ROC) Taiwan, not mainland communist China.
MrPisster They had no choice, it was an agreement that was signed 100 years ago.
So what's the tailor store the local will go for their custom made suit?
Cablev94 technically Taiwan considers themselves an autonomous part of China. Soooooo technically wouldn't be dishonoring the agreement.
Is a weird I've watched this video like 90 times?!?!
+Michael Kirk Not if you did not understand the first 89 times!
sytestorm something about it that makes my mind relax. Almost therapeutic
Michael Kirk
Ah I see. Well then, continue :)
+Michael Kirk Because it's ASMR video
Shinji K what is that?
Ziplock 2 gallon freezer bags for a suit, 1 gallon freezer bags for shirts. It really works! The 2 gallon size can be hard to find..
The suit folding was wonderful, and then... BAM! He amazes you with the shirt folding technique. I had to watch it in slow motion just to see what exactly he did. Great video.
Tam has the smoothest touch here, the way he caresses the cloth is second to none. A true master
Fantastic! The bag with air idea is brilliant!
This helped. Thanks, Kung-Suit master!
Proud being a man! We are so simple and always solution oriented! Give this gentleman a medal of Honor!
It's cool to watch somebody who really knows what he's doing.
It works pretty well. What inspired me to ask this question of the tailor was that I had been shopping for a suitcase with a suit hanger. It seems they don't really exist the way I was used to and then, as I thought about it, that never really worked anyway and in any case it makes the suitcase too large. This method isn't perfect but it seems to be the best thing short of wearing your suit.
Yep. Its always cool to see people doing something they love
2 minutes of care on an 8 hour flight is worth it for me. High rollers notice the details. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the post!
My boyfriend used your advice and it worked great! No wrinkles!
For the Bag we used the Space Bag, Medium size, they are the vacuum seal ones we just left out the vacuuming part, we bought it at Walmart, worked great!
MAN...WE ARE LIKE DOOR KNOBS TO THESE ASIANS...THEY ARE FREAK'N GREAT AT EVERYTHING. I FINALLY LEARNED THIS TODAY, NOW THE ONLY THING I NEED IS TO BUY SOME SUITS.
Just used this video to travel from Philly to SC. It was perfect. Not one wrinkle. Thanks Dude
I just got told I cant take my suit on a singapore airlines flight because I'm in economy. I think this guy and his legendary folding technique may have saved the day. Thanks to the uploader too!
By FAR the best technique I've found on the internet for both suits and shirts.
this is excellent.I have found that a large packing cube can hold a suit when folded this way, so if you have an ebags or eagle creek large cube,it will take the suit, and will not crease or wrinkle. youtube has another video showing a guy using a plastic cleaners bag, this absolutely works as well and is cheaper than the cubes
This is a brilliant demo always watch just before travelling
Honestly, I love watching this better than most of the movies I've seen and paid for. The guy has me totally mesmerized.
One straight forward video out of thousands. Well done!
This guy just caresses the clothes into submission... a true master of his profession.
I watch this video nearly every time my husband travels. he has never complained, and doesn't have to find a dry cleaner! :)
We use a 2.5 gallon bag
+Bridgette Souza Perfect, thanks! I hope I can find one tomorrow morning
This is so helpful! And he is so classy when he folds it- so professional!
Anyone else think it's pretty cool that this is the line of work he has a passion for?
That shirt fold though jeez so pro
This is the real deal. This single video beats other 100 vids out there.
I traveled globally for business and this was and still is my reference for folding a suit. I haven't needed to do that in a few years, but I'm now going to my daughter's wedding and will need to pack a suit for the flight and I'm right back to this video. It works great. Just buy some large ziplock bags and you're good to go.
I’m in the same boat tonight. Need to pack a jacket for a wedding, and back to this video after many years of not needing it. Once again in awe of this guy’s technique.
I have tried this method without the plastic bag and it worked, with a little help from the shower steaming it. I am going to try this with a 2.5 gallon freezer bag.
Huge respect for tailor Jacky!
watching a master at work.
I always wondered what to do with the dress shirt sleeves, now I know!
16x20 is large for a bag - but not for shrinkwrap for an artist canvas!
Many art and frame shops shrinkwrap framed pieces, and 16x20 (along with 18x24) is a common canvas size. You can seal the shrinkwrap at home with a hot hair drier. Not as much finesse, but works on the fly w/o custom-ordering large zipper bags.
this guy is awesome. I had a suit made in Bangkok, and I'd love to do the same in Hong Kong. Much more affordable than if I had one made in the U.S. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video ! I had my suit custom made by Master Tam on my last visit to Hong Kong!, can wait to have another visit!
видно сразу , что человек любит свою работу, делает это с душой))) красава. уважаю таких !!!!
A master at his craft makes it look easy
The bags Jacky Tam gave me are 16" wide by 20 deep.
He is sooo good at folding! makes it look so easy too!
Even though I remember the steps by heart I still watch this video before travelling
Super-dee-duper awesome video. Short, simple, easy to understand, and as a result, easy to do. Thanks to you, I didn't look like a wrinkled mess at the career fair. :)
This worked great on my last trip, even without the bag. On the way back I tried one of the "rolling" methods & it didn't come out nearly as well.
This guy is a ninja - a true master. Thank you for sharing, very helpful.
Before every business trip I watch this video again :).
I did this for a wedding last weekend. Works great!
What a good citizen.
This guy's got some skill. Awesome video, saved me a lot of work :)
Thanks to Jacky Tam!
Love learning from a pro !
wonderful video! in additon to zipper bags, I found that the suit bags that the stores give you kinda work too, although it won't hold that much air.
dude is the man
ohhhh thank you UA-cam for solving all of our How To problems in a snap!!
awesome first business trip ahead thank you for this helpful video
I think I need to keep that dude in my glove-box for whatever comes my way!!!!!!!!
Amazing. Got the chills for like 2 min haha
2.7 million views for this video, and still worth MORE than that. Jacky Tam may not even know how important he is.
NICE! This was the first time I actually cared to fold a suit correctly, and did it right. It looks tight. The main problem was that my suit was too big for the zip-lock bag I had laying around, so I had to fold the pants and suit each in half once (which I am guessing will probably create unwanted wrinkles -- whatever it still looks tight : ).
Best folding video yet! Thanks
I want to trust this guy, but what is going on with his tie?
tsearliv he's a great guy, he's just not good with ties!
Microphone.
Finesse! That was amazing!
One of the most useful videos ever!
I primarily wear dress shirts under a sweater, and Comfortably Collared shirts are super easy to fold and pack. It's basically an Under Amour shirt with a collar and cuffs - it's perfect under a sweater.
Simple but brilliant! It's a skill that only makes sense AFTER you know it.
Brilliant ... well done and thank you!
I just love the instructions on this video. :) thanks. the best I've seen today.
Oh wow! This man sure can fold! Perfect!
I had a suit tailor made in Hong Kong -- I'd follow their advice!
Gotta love Hong Kong shops. So helpful!
THIS GUY IS A GAME CHANGER!!! NO MORE FUCKING HANGERS IN THE CAR!!!!
That dude is now my personal tailor...
I signed into UA-cam just to add this video to my favorites. Thank you for this post!
Wow! This guy is a real pro.
This guy is my hero. good post.
Hong Kong Tailors are top notch.
Thx for this. I was about to haul out my big-ass suitcase just because I needed to pack a suit. Now I can just fly with carry-on.
I followed your advices, no wrinkles at all on both my suites! Thanks =]
I love it. This guy is a genius.
I didn't know 3 million people would be interested in this! Y'all should watch the Madonna movie..
bloody brilliant, will help no end with taking my suits to new york!
I googled this and it was my tailor demonstrating this! Great job!
Much appreciated. (ps.. I was told by the tailor to wear the suit on the plane, I'd never heard of that before)
amazing! thank you.
this is strangely relaxing
Great tip. I always thought there has to be better way.
Makes it look so easy! :)
For the suit bag use the plastic from the dry cleaner and just tie both ends very tight with a knot and it will put air in the bag to hold the suit!
Great video, thanks for sharing! The guy really knows his shit...
