Collecting luggage is one of the most troublesome moments in preparing for any trip. The question "How to fold a jacket neatly?" has to be solved by those who, due to certain circumstances, need to take a full "gentleman's set" on a trip, including business shirts and at least one suit. Trying to put a jacket in a suitcase is really not an easy task, because this bulky wardrobe item is incredibly capricious in terms of transportation methods: if it is not properly packed in a suitcase, it will crumple badly.
There are several ways to fold a jacket even into a small suitcase so that the item eventually retains a completely presentable appearance. As a result, you will not be ashamed of your appearance, including in cases where you will have to put on a suit immediately after arriving at the place, without the opportunity to iron it. One of the ways to fold a jacket is to place it on a horizontal surface (for example, a bed or a table). Subsequent manipulations are easier to carry out if the jacket is positioned with its back facing up.
To fold the jacket, gently bend one shoulder along with the sleeve towards the back. On the front side, the fold line should run next to the corresponding lapel. Do the same with the other shoulder of the jacket. Do not crumple the sleeves at the same time. Place them parallel to the midline of the backrest. Now bend the folded item horizontally approximately in half, so that the lapels and the bottom of the shelves look outward. You can pack everything in a suitcase. If it is not clear exactly how to fold the jacket in this case, look for a hint on the diagram.
The above method is not the only way to fold a jacket neatly. It is possible to fold this wardrobe detail in another way, for example, with preliminary turning inside out. However, it is done in a clever way. To fold the jacket, grasp its collar area. While holding the thing in the air, try to twist one shoulder. After such manipulation, the sleeve should be on the inside of the jacket and located almost parallel to the side seams of the back and shelves.
Next, to fold the jacket, you will have to perform one simple but necessary action in this case. Try to carefully insert the shoulder of the jacket that is not turned out into the shoulder that is turned out so that the front sides of these jacket parts are pressed against each other. After this operation, the sleeves will be located inside the folded item. Make sure that they do not crumple, and each naturally bends exactly in half, parallel to its side seams. If you want to fold a jacket in this way, look for a hint in the picture.
If the previous steps were performed correctly, then it will be easy to fold the jacket. In fact, you will have half of your jacket turned inside out in your hands. Make sure that all the elements inside it: shoulders, pockets, sleeves, etc. are folded as neatly as possible. Now fold the jacket approximately in half horizontally (as shown in the picture) or roll it up into a not very tight tube. It all depends on how roomy your suitcase is and how much free space it still has left.
Recommendations
- There is one trick that allows you to save space when putting various things in your luggage and, at the same time, keep the shape of the jacket. So, when folding the latter, place socks and/or underpants rolled up inside the shoulders.
- Jackets with a simple cut and without intricate complex elements like lapels can be stowed in luggage like jackets. First, fold the sleeves of the thing with the back up in half, then turn its shelves to the back with the inside out so that they overlap slightly with each other. Now roll the jacket horizontally. transescort.org/trans/india/mumbai/
