Preparing the shirt
Before you start folding your shirt, it's essential to prepare it properly to achieve a neat, wrinkle-free result. Follow these simple steps to ensure your shirt is ready to be folded.
Flatten the shirt on a clean, flat surface
Lay your shirt flat on a clean surface, such as a table or bed, making sure there are no wrinkles or bumps. A flat surface ensures even folding and makes it easier to spot any wrinkles.
Button the first button, the middle one and the last one
To prevent the shirt from warping while folding, take the time to button the first, middle, and last buttons. This will help maintain the shirt's shape and ensure precise folding.
Align the seams and sleeves
Before folding the shirt, make sure the side and sleeve seams are aligned. This helps distribute the fabric evenly and avoid unsightly creases. To do this, smooth the fabric with your hands, starting from the collar and working down to the hem, making sure the seams and sleeves are aligned.
Classic folding method
The classic folding method is ideal for neatly storing your Izac shirts and keeping them looking brand new. Here's how to do it in a few simple steps:
- Fold the sleeves: Fold the sleeves inwards, following the shoulder seam, with the cuffs aligned with the bottom of the shirt.
- Fold the sides: Fold the left side of the shirt towards the middle, folding the left sleeve at the same time. Repeat this step for the right side, slightly overlapping the left side.
- Fold horizontally: Fold the shirt horizontally in half or in thirds, depending on the size and length of the shirt.
Roll folding method
The roll folding method is perfect for travelers and those looking to save space. Here are the key steps to roll folding your shirt:
- Fold the sleeves: Fold the sleeves backward, crossing them at the back of the shirt.
- Roll the shirt: Roll the shirt from top to bottom, keeping it tight to avoid creases.
- Secure the roll: if necessary, use an elastic band or a band to hold the roll in place.
This method allows for compact storage and limits creases, ideal for travel.
Tips for keeping your shirts looking their best
Here are some tips to keep your shirts in perfect condition after folding them:
- Use appropriate hangers: Choose quality hangers to hang your shirts and preserve their shape.
- Use steam: Remove wrinkles with a steamer to keep your shirts looking new.
- Store properly: Store folded shirts neatly in a closet or drawer to avoid creases and wrinkling.
These simple tips will help you maintain the elegance and durability of your Izac shirts.
