"So now we're going to look at how to do a collared shirt that has a stiffer collar, it's not necessarily a button down. I have it right here. So you want to make sure that the collar itself is, is flat and you want to button the top button so that the shirt can be uniform; you don't have pieces hanging out. There you go. And what you want to do is lay it flat again. Lay it out. And you're going to do a fold in leaving room again from the collar. Cause this is a stiffer collar so it really wants to have room, it doesn't want to be crushed cause then when you wear it; it's just going to look creased even if the rest of the shirt is nicely folded. This one goes in. You want to do this same thing on the other side. And keeping away from the collar, keep them down. If you had long sleeves you'd want them farther down. Smooth it out. I like to do three folds up for this one also, because then it is just the collar on the top. And now one other thing that I can point out here is this has an emblem, and you'd want to stretch that out too. Possibly iron it; emblems are really hard to fold. But that's the basic gist if it. "
