How to fold your shirts like the US Navy

- Folding T-shirts is a common practice for several reasons:
Organization: Folding T-shirts neatly allows for better organization within drawers or closets. When T-shirts are folded uniformly, it's easier to see and access each shirt, making it simpler to find the one you want to wear without rummaging through a pile.
Space-saving: Folding T-shirts efficiently can save space in drawers or shelves. By folding them neatly and stacking them vertically, you can maximize the use of available storage space, especially in smaller living areas where space is limited.
Preventing wrinkles: Folding T-shirts properly helps prevent wrinkles. By folding along the seams and smoothing out any creases, you can minimize the risk of wrinkles forming while the shirts are stored. This ensures that your T-shirts remain presentable and ready to wear without needing to be ironed every time.
Preservation: Folding T-shirts instead of hanging them can help preserve their shape and elasticity. Hanging T-shirts for extended periods can cause stretching along the shoulders or misshaping due to gravity. Folding them allows the fabric to rest evenly without strain, prolonging the lifespan of the garment.
Travel: Folded T-shirts are convenient for travel. They can be easily packed into suitcases or bags without taking up too much space. Additionally, when properly folded, T-shirts are less likely to wrinkle during transit, keeping them looking fresh upon arrival at your destination.
Overall, folding T-shirts is a practical way to maintain organization, save space, preserve garment quality, and simplify wardrobe management both at home and while traveling.
That's a terrible way to fold a t-shirt. The goal should be a perfect collar, not one folded in half. Look to hi-end department stores for the proper way to fold clothing.
no way is better than the Navy way, and As for Department stores the way they fold their clothes only benefits sales, we've all done it, picked up a store folded shirt and what does it do? Becomes unfolded, a freaking mess in your hand, this is done for one to display the shirt and two make you have to screw with the shirt longer than you need. Both of these reasons push sales. The fold in the collar STEP 6 looks good upon opening, complementary when unfolded matter fact. Now for collared shirts we don't fold them like this but another way which is on my channel also.
He said the Navy folds them that way. He's right. My son is in the Navy and that is how he showed me how to fold his clothes.
Don't tell the enemy !
How can I tell which shirt has the right design? They all look the same.
Typical New Yorker. Think they know everything better than everyone else. But they live in NY City!!! How dumb is that?
Holy cow, you just made my top 3 most awesome hacks I’ve seen on RUclips. I just refolded all 32 of my t-shirts, and somehow manically made more space in my drawer. AND I reversed the fold so I can see my graphics on the outside without having to stack in my drawer. Now to not forget how to do this tomorrow.
Just did my T's, I can't believe I didn't look this up before, great tip, thank you.
Learn something new everyday. Thank you. I have struggled folding t shirts all my life and now I know how at age 67. 😊
Me too. And same age.
Yes, been folding t shirts for 50 years and never thought of this.
I went to the library to search for a book on folding clothes and returned home crestfallen.
I wish it was that easy after the t- shirt has been washed and dried a few times without being ironed.😵💫
Me too 62 😅
I truly believe you’re the only man that actually does that I love it your wife must be ecstatic very organized. I love it.
No it’s just that he’s controlling, yet won’t do it himself.
My dad was in the USN and until the day he died he still folded his clothes like he was still enlisted. He never had to turn the lights on to get dressed. Everything had its place. It was instilled in me as well
Thanks for sharing that, I love the bit about the lights....yes everything has a place
Excellent video. I love my T-shirts and have several drawers full of them. I'm going to refold all of them right away. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great tip dad! Hopefully like this i can fit more shirts in my dresser!
You bet!👍
And it would save space.
The way you fold them definitely can make a bigger difference than one would imagine. I fold in half then roll mine. Can fit double what I could before I started doing that.
Too many creases.
Terrible idea
The best way to travel. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Whoah......wait a tick... the way the US NAVY does it IN BOOTCAMP!
I was in the Navy in the mid 80's. We were taught to fold in thirds. I have always folded that way since then. But I like your version better!! I will be trying this!! Thanks!! ❤
Been doing that since 1991..boot camp great lakes..go navy
You just saved my tshirt investments!! Thank you!
I hang but that gets out of hand. This is great!
I love this! I laugh at the way you say - so you can be like me! Adorable 😊 Go Navy 🧑✈️ my brother is a retired Navy Seal Team One- Frogs UDT
I’m so proud of him. 👍💯💪
my husband was in the military and he still folds his clothing just like that…love the military
My Dad ( retired Navy) has the most organized drawers. They look like clothing files.....😊 anchors away kids ⚓
I am 77, Navy vet 1966-70, learned this method in Boot Camp, and have folded my T shirts this way ever since. Quick, easy, and efficient
Yeah, but you can’t see what’s on the front of it🤷♀️
Exactly my thoughts
I was thinking the same thing, I need to see if I'm feeling that shirt for the day.
exactly!
In the military you don’t have any printed shirt while in duty so their way works.
You could do all the folding with the printer side out?
When you are looking for a specific shirt with a logo on the front……. 🦗
Are you the same man who showed me how to hang my sweaters? Awesome!
Now do fitted sheets 😂
Navy doesn't use fitted sheets 😂
Trick question, no one has fitted sheets on shipboard.
Now do 45 degree hospital corners.
Yes! Fitted sheets, please. 😂
Day 2 R and O, San Diego Ca. 1979. Still fold my shirts and pants the Navy way after 44 years...!
I used to date a biker. I roll mine up.😎😂💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Beautiful, great tip, I love tee shirts too!! Thank you. GOD bless you.❤❤🎉🎉
Bless you too
STILL do mine this way, boot camp was in ‘82
Squared away is the only way to be
@@Baasicstuff
Now, do you recall how to fold the raincoat?
Turned that huge thing into such a neat package.
@@pmrich7035 owe man thats a good one
I live in Norfolk Virginia. ( largest Navel Base in the world)I observed a sailor in the laundromat years ago. He was so efficient with his clothes. I was mesmerized.
That snap in the beginning was awesome
April 1976... san diego... still folding them the same way i was taught in boot camp...
GO NAVY !!!!
US Army, rolls everything.
love the Army!
Aww man!! Now I have to go refold ALL my Tshirts. ❤ 😅 Thank you so much. This looks like it will cut down on more space😊.
it will and you will be so proud of the stack when youre done
Last step....folds the collar.
He sure did 🤣
the crease in the t-shirt STEP 6 looks good when unfolded, this is why we flip the shirt, that fold goes inward making the collar press against the neck, making for a better looking neck line. The Navy has thought of everything
Only thing dumber than the fold is trying to defend it
Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect we all have sinned fallen short of the glory of God, except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. (Until you accept his gift of salvation. You will be seen perfect in his eyes because Jesus Christ paid the price.)Forsake meaning do not sin. (You may stumble but just rely on the Lord he’s got you in Jesus name.) We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again of the spirit to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. (John 3:3) !
God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .
God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️
@@jrmartinez1354 WTF? You are hijacking a video about FOLDING T-SHIRTS to blather on and on and on about your imaginary, man-made, non-existent supernatural friend?
Please...go away.
I still remember my boot camp days, and this folding method.
Thanks I watched about 4 times to get it right
Thank you! I was thinking of getting new dressers, all I need is to fold my shirts 👕 like this! Saves so much space!👍
In the Army we rolled our clothes up and it’s quick and keeps them wrinkle free.
That’s what I do. I was not in the service, but I dated a biker a long time ago. 😂🤣 that’s what I got in the habit of rolling up my clothes.
I rolled mine up to for the same reason. I actually learned it from my daughter. She said it saves room and it certainly does, and the T-shirt don’t look all wrinkly.
I hang mine. Fast and wrinkle free
Actually make sure I could get everything in my duffle I rolled everything up. I dont ever remember doing that
That's the way I fold (roll) my clothes when traveling. 👍
But I’d have to make my bed first 😩
My husband served aboard subs for 21 years. He used to fold his t- shirts that way. His rack didn't have much room, as you must know. He retired 21 years ago. He doesn't fold like that anymore. Except when we fly somewhere. We try to avoid checked baggage Ransome money. This is a great way to pack a week worth in a carry on.
Awesome way to conserve space, also. The pinch point technique is also good to limit creases especially with dress shirts.
Fantastic. I will use this always going forward.
GM SINCE 2004 and haven’t stopped folding my shirts like this since.
Thanks, but no thanks.
May all your closets be blessed with no mess.
You are one squared away sailor!
Im having flash backs of bootcamp! 😅
Doing this tomorrow. Switching up from a military roll. Will watch a few more times to nail it.
I love tee shirts too. I’m definitely going to use this.
You should!
Thankya brings back memories of our Dear Navy SCPO Brotherfriend great space saving technique gunna start doing this it smart🏆🏅🎖🥇
Have not did that in 44 years brings back memories
I bet it saves closet space too. I'll remember that. Thanks buddy 😊
Been out of the navy since 2009 and I still fold shirts this way.
This just came up on my feed. I was so impressed, I tried refolding a couple of T-shirts. They certainly pack up neatly! Just acquired a whole bunch more drawer space. 😊
Wow!!!
I thought I was OCD but I'm not even close to this guy!!!
My dad served 20 years on submarines for the first 15 years of his career. He was a master folder. King of all folders and he get more in a suit case than any human I've ever known! Miss you every day Dad 😢
Daughters are great, they love their Dads so much
Retired 20 Year Navy Chief here,,, and still fold my clothes the same way!!!
lol
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!! Sorry about being so excited my drawers a mess with how I'm folding them .😂 thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love that. It creates all kinds of space
Compact and convenient. Especially, since I wear camo everyday.
In Virginia I wore camo everyday also lol .... or my carmel Carharts
very calming to look at. I'm from retail. I fold my tees the way they're done in dept stores.
You seem calm
My dad showed us many of these tips when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.
Strolling through RUclips and I’m like I know this guy! You’re a celebrity Chris! I have to show Alan this because after 30 years he still can’t fold shirts! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Hi! I just hit 100,000 subs! Thank you for commenting
I bought a $10 folding board from Amazon. Easy to fold a shirt in 3 steps, design showing so I know what shirt is what, and the shirts stack nicely in a drawer.
I was in the Navy in the 90s. Exactly how I remember. Especially with limited space on long aircraft carrier developments. That was a must.
wool blanket tips is cool
Love it!!!!! thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great folding technique that’s helpful organizing in drawers and baggage’s. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this.
Looks excellent to me. Must try. Far better than my current method - or lack of, lol!
Skinny fat fat skinny was our boot camp term to remember the correct final fold lol.
I really like the Navy how the package things, in there backpacks.
I am trying to learn from them👏🏼
Look how neat his wardrobe is, not to forget his bed is made!
Few things in my life are as important as knowing how to properly fold my t-shirts.
I like this fold because It saves space. The only modification I did is instead of doing it upside up I turned the shirt upside down. That way when it's folded I can see the design on the outside
I was always doing the steps in the wrong order, so I would just pile them up and peel one off when needed.
Now I'm psyched to start folding them.
TY
I love it , takes up less room in the drawer. ❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS USEFUL INFORMATION!
As a wife this makes me melt 😅 your lady is very lucky
very lucky ;)
What a revelation; amazing! 😮
It's the little things in life. 😊
I like it especially if you put into the drawer very organized
I do it like clothing stores do, but I like this method also.
He needs to come and organise my wardrobe.
Love it so neat ❤
Thanks a lot, how to fold T-Shirts.🙏I love it. It's perfect for me, bc I'm mostly travelling/flying with carry-on. I often have my sports gear luggage with me, so carry-on minimal packing and slight folding is essential.
Travel well, and explore
a carry on should be fine for a few days if you fold right
Thank you so much for showing a folding technique slowly one that can be implemented the others go so fast and yours is best
You are so welcome!
@@Baasicstuff you rock I’m subscribing love light and blessings to you my brother !!!!!!
😂 Works for me. I'm for anything that's organized, nice, cheap, clean & looks good. Heyyyyyyyy😄
Yes it does!
nice haircut!
Thanks!
You are a legend Sir! Thanks for sharing.
🤩 T-shirt perfection! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I like this method. It fits in my drawers perfectly. The only problem is finding my Def Leppard shirt among all the other black t-shirts!
Excellent way to save space.
My hubby USAFA grad. He does the folding of towels, bedding, and his tee shirts. Which works out great for us.
Oh man I need this hack!
Nice. Will fold like this going forward.
Thank you sr for this clip. Great contribution.
Knew this, I was in the Navy. Had to learn to set a Locker correctly for inspection.
Thank you! That was amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing.
That is awesome. My husband loves T-shirts too and has quite a few. That method of folding will definitely make more room in the drawer.
Totally!
Love it❤ thanks...will do... very organized
Great video shipmate!!!
Love this AND wool blankets
Love it! Thank you for your service! 😊
I’ll try this out on my husbands white T shirts and jet you know what he says! I think it’s great!
WOOOOOW, I'm impressed 😮😊
