"Now I am going to talk to you about how to roll a shirt and the basic principle behind that. Basically we folded this shirt and it looks great. But if you are packing stuff in a suitcase and you had a fabric that didn't wrinkle easily, it might actually save you space to roll the shirt. Now I don't recommend this for long term storage but as far as packing it really limits your space that you use. So you want to fold it completely in half. Smooth out anything that you had the way you do with anything else. But completely in half. Fold this in. The idea with the roll is to have as long and short something as possible. Because, then what you are going to do with it and you always start at the end that doesn't have the collar because the collar isn't going to roll easily. If you roll it as tight as possible, it?s almost like making a lot of folds. Now you would think that this would make your stuff really messy. But it doesn't because when you are traveling, it?s not using in your suitcase for that long. Now look at how little space this takes up. Now you might think that it takes up more than the folding does, but generally if you have an entire suitcase and you roll everything in it, it really doesn't take up a lot of space at all. And you can just fold the collar right around and you have done it."
