How to Fold Garments - Folding Techniques for Packing & Storing Clothes

About this video

The Gazette team teaches efficient folding techniques for various garments including shirts, trousers, jackets, waistcoats, and overcoats to maximize storage space and minimize wrinkles. They demonstrate step-by-step methods for each garment type, including alternative rolling techniques, and explain that while these methods reduce wrinkles, some pressing will still be needed after unpacking.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends buttoning shirts before folding and using precise, straight folds when creating thirds lengthwise and widthwise to minimize wrinkles
• For trousers, the Gazette team suggests using the Savile Row fold method when hanging—threading a hanger between the pant legs and folding one leg under itself—for superior wrinkle prevention
• The Gazette team advises that jackets should be folded by turning one shoulder inside out and bringing it over the other to align lapels and edges cleanly, as structural elements make jacket folding more complex than other garments
• The Gazette team recommends rolling garments from bottom to top as an alternative to folding, which may work better for carry-on packing and drawer storage
