To properly fold a jacket, quickly align the lapel and push it flat.
Step-by-Step Guide
Based on the video reference, here's a simple way to fold a jacket quickly:
- Start with the jacket laying flat: Ensure the jacket is laid out on a flat surface, such as a table or bed. The front of the jacket should be facing upwards.
- Align the lapel: Take one lapel and line it up with the opposite side of the jacket. This essentially means you are folding the jacket in half lengthwise, from the lapel side.
- Push it flat: Once the lapel is aligned with the edge, gently press down the jacket to flatten the folded edge. This step helps to reduce wrinkles and makes the folded jacket neater.
Here's a quick recap in a table:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lay jacket flat, front up. |
| 2 | Align lapel with opposite side |
| 3 | Flatten with a push. |
By following these steps, you can fold a jacket neatly and quickly as demonstrated in the video. This folding technique is particularly useful when preparing for travel to help minimize wrinkles. The video emphasizes that the demonstration is quick and simple and it is all about the alignment of the lapel.
