I've mastered this technique at home, but there are two drawbacks: (1) it needs a flat surface on which to fold, and (2) it leaves one sleeve flapping about underneath the folded shirt. I'm working on variations which will allow me to apply the folding method without need of a table or the floor. Excuse me while I go do some ironing.

I just finished making closet-like doors for my bookshelves according to a plan I saw on that show. (FYI, it's Japanese, not Chinese.)

Speaking for the slob contingent, can I just say you compulsive shirt-folders creep me out a tiny bit? I just finished making closet-like doors for my bookshelves according to a plan I saw on that show. Now that sounds cool. Keeps the dust off. Next you'll be wanting climate control ;-) /book fetishist, not laundry fetishist ;-)

Am I the only one who hangs t-shirts in the closet in order to avoid the whole folding issue?

Hey planetkyoto, any way you can find a link to that plan you mentioned? I'd love to hide the clutter...

What's up with that film cut a few seconds in? I think they're installing wires in the shirt. The whole things is CGI. Or she's like a 4th-generation Asimo. Or something. Aliens.

Dude, just try it! It's so easy! The best is when you show this technique (in person, not the video) to someone who's worked in retail, and their jaw just drops.

That's some seriously weird voodoo magic.

Awesome. I can't wait to try it when I get home. However, I must admit that I fold only some of my t-shirts, and hang up others. The divisions break down thusly: "Good" t-shirts (i.e., fitted ones that I can wear to work): hang up. "Weekend" t-shirts (i.e., fitted one with band logos, faded color, patterns, etc. that render them perfectly good for wearing out with jeans or to yoga or something, but not to work): fold carefully, stack in small piles in closet. "Whatever" t-shirts (i.e., old, sloppy shirts that I wear to bed or whilst schlepping laundry, some dating back to concerts attended in the mid-'80s): fold vaguely, toss into large stack in middle dresser drawer. I can't believe the rest of you freaks don't live according to these obvious t-shirt distinctions.
