How to Fold Your Suit for Travel

what's up fellas it's great to see you

and as always I'm glad that you're here

in today's video we're gonna talk a

little bit about travel and how I

personally fold roll and pack my suits

sport coats and dress shirts I'm running

a couple different camera angles so you

can see exactly what I'm doing so please

stick around alright fellas I'm going to

show you a couple different ways to do

this the first thing I always do though

is I'll start with every other button

buttoned all the way down the placket I

will then take the shirts and flip it

upside down okay so we're doing sort of

that department store fold on this one

I'd like to put a finger right here next

to the collar and you're basically

folding that whole half of the shirt

over take the sleeve and the sleeve is

just going to go straight down the back

of the shirt eliminating as many

wrinkles as I possibly can take the

other side same thing fold the whole

half of that shirt back over on itself

take the sleeve and just let it just it

just kind of wants to relax right in

this position here so from here guys you

can do one of a couple things you can

fold it in thirds and have a very nice

flat package or what you can do

depending on what you've got like a

duffel bag or a suitcase depending on

like how tight you want your bundle to

be here taken you can roll it like this

and a nice little soft roll and that

gives you a nice compact little bundle

and this works really really well one

thing I wanted to add here really quick

though feather looks like this isn't a

magic potion that will eliminate

wrinkles entirely typically when I'm

traveling I'm either staying at a hotel

a relative's house or some type of air

B&B where I do have access to an iron

an ironing board what this is doing by

folding your items enrolling them in

this manner is you're eliminating those

big heavy like press wrinkles and seams

that you get if you just sort of fold an

item over on itself and then have a

bunch of other items in your suitcase

weighted down on it alright guys so

before we get into the suit jacket and

sport coat I want to do this first

because this is going to come into play

here in just a minute

trousers very simple guys we're folding

these in half you can fold them you can

roll them I like to do the roll

so I'll start to bottom kind of roll and

pull roll and pull keep the wrinkles out

as best you can and then you end up with

a little roll just like this again I'm

gonna set this aside because this is

going to come into play in just a moment

alright guys the first method I want to

show you to fold your suit jacket or

sport coat is put your hands inside just

like this and then bring your hands

together like you're clapping your hands

a little bit and then grab with one hand

both shoulder pads pop the collar up

like this and then take the shoulder

pads and pull them through you're kind

of turning your jacket inside out and at

this point you can let go and line up

your lapel make sure your notches are

nice and lined up from here guys take

the shoulder pads you just pulled

through and push them back through this

way and as you can see your jacket is

folded very nicely right in half from

here fold it over and you can pack this

in your suitcase just like that alright

guys the next method I want to show you

is starting similarly as you did the

last time but take one shoulder pad just

one and pull it through inside out then

take the other arm and put it into the

shoulder pad you're kind of turning your

jacket inside out at this point okay

from here as you can see your jacket is

nicely folded in half to make this more

compact take your trousers so what you

end up with is kind of since your

shoulder pads on this end or a lot

then the lapel and right here you're

just going to sort of add a buffer for

the lapel just like this from here you

just gently roll your suit in a nice

little bundle just like this and it will

pack just like this nice and compact all

right guys one more thing you can do if

you have a nice sort of travel garment

bag like this this one's from suits

apply my suit is in here on the hanger

you're basically folding the hanger end

over and then you fold the bottom half

over and this is so cool that's got

zippers all the way down you can just

carry this it's got handles on it just

like that or you can just lay this flat

down in your suit or in your suitcase

right on top so guys if you enjoy men's
