    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @sjlsharp
    @sjlsharp  15 лет назад +1

    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.

    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

    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 : ).
