"Now we're going to talk about a button down shirt that has a collar. And the biggest difference here is that you don't want the collar to be folded and creased inside. So like I said with the other one especially cause this one has a collar you want to make sure the top button is all buttoned up, and that you button the other ones as well cause we want everything to be uniform. So we just button everything up. If you want you can do every other button, and that'll work too. Let's do that for the bottom here. Now we turn it over. And all the folding starts from the back. You can see how creased this is because I didn't used to fold my clothes. And so for a collar you want to leave a little bit more distance on the side than we did with the other shirt. So you're going to go from the end and do a really quick fold in. And this has short sleeves so we don't have to fold them up like we had to fold up the other ones. But you can see that there's like an inch from the end of the collar. And see that's left about another inch, you want to keep it even on both sides. And for this one, this is a longer shirt so I like to make two folds. One is about 1/3 of the way up and the next one goes all the way up. And you can see that that's at the top. Now when we turn this over, and you want to be careful about that; you can see how nice that looks. You've left room on either side of the collar and it hasn't been creased by the folding."
