T-shirts, Hang or Fold?

[DJ_Flame]

Kinda of a simple question, but which is a better way to store tees?

Hanging might stretch the neck. Folding will definitely crease the arms.

Choose your poison.

I fold due to lack of space.

Beats the hell out of me about which way is better.

you can always lightly tumble dry to release creases, so i say fold 'em. stretching is not so easy to correct.

hangers definately stretch neck/shoulders.. i try to fold almost all my clothes unless the fabric doesnt have any play (like synthetics, heavyweights and jackets)

well hangers won't cause light-weight tshirts to stretch at all, but heavier items like sweaters I always fold. one thing you don't want to do is hang t-shirts wet. then they will stretch.

How about throw on ground

haha amen

I fold, or throw. Whatever's faster.

Roll them. Lay the shirt on its front, fold the sleeves toward you at the seams (so it essentially looks like a sleeveless tshirt), and roll from the top down. This method saves space in your dresser and you won't suffer the creases associated with folding.

I would definitely recomend folding. Not just for t-shirts, but all knits (polos, sweaters) It's much better for them. Though creasing can be an issue, at least personally, they seem to go away after you wear them a little. Also, make sure you fold them properly. Fold it like they do in stores so you see the middle of the chest, not the sloppy way where you just fold it in half.

As for woven shirts (dress shirts) I'd say hang, it's much easier for them to crease from folding, and the collar isn't very prone to stretching. Also, use good hangers, you may think they're expensive, but directional wood hangars (which simulate the curve in shoulders so the shirt hangs more naturally) can be purchased at Ikea for something close to $3 for eight. Plus since they're directional, all of your hangars/shirts will face the same way (looks good in your closet, and makes it easier to find shit)

By the way, sorry for all the parenthesis

what do you all do with hoodies/jackets?

[Hemidart]

I made a rack with 2" wood dowels...four dowels in a frame about 5' high. T's drape over the dowels. No hanging by neck and no folding....Best of both worlds. I hate stretched necks and fold lines.

I am also a bit OCD.

I had watch the other one with a count downto see howfast this method is. I used this method and then roll them because it save space and easy to pull out from the drawer like that.
