Preparing the shirt
Before you start folding your shirt, it is essential that you prepare it properly to get a neat, wrinkle-free result. Follow these simple steps to ensure your shirt is ready to be folded.

Flatten the shirt on a clean, flat surface
Lay your shirt flat on a clean surface, such as a table or bed, making sure there are no creases or bumps. A flat surface ensures an even fold and makes it easier to spot any creases.

Button the first, middle and last button
To prevent the shirt from buckling during folding, take the time to button the first, middle and last button. This will help maintain the shape of the shirt and ensure accurate folding.

Align the seams and sleeves
Before folding the shirt, make sure the side and sleeve seams are aligned. This ensures that the fabric is evenly distributed and that unsightly creases are avoided. To do this, smooth the fabric with your hands, starting at the collar and working down to the hem, making sure that the seams and sleeves are aligned.

Classic folding method
The classic folding method is ideal for keeping your IZAC folders neat and looking new. Here's how to do it in a few simple steps:

- Fold the sleeves: fold the sleeves inwards, following the shoulder seam, with the cuffs aligned with the bottom of the shirt.

- Fold the sides: fold the left side of the shirt towards the middle, folding the left sleeve at the same time. Repeat this step for the right side, overlapping the left side slightly.

- Fold horizontally: Fold the shirt horizontally in half or in thirds, depending on the size and length of the shirt.

Roll folding method
The roll folding method is perfect for travellers and those looking to save space. Here are the key steps to folding your shirt into a roll:

- Fold the sleeves: fold the sleeves backwards, crossing them at the back of the shirt.

- Roll the shirt: roll the shirt from top to bottom, keeping it tight to avoid creases.

- Secure the roll: if necessary, use a rubber band or strip to hold the roll in place.

This method allows for compact storage and reduces creases, ideal for travel.

Tips for keeping your shirts in perfect condition
Here are some tips to keep your shirts in perfect condition after folding them:

- Use proper hangers: choose quality hangers to hang your shirts and keep their shape.

- Use steam: Remove creases with a steam iron to keep your shirts looking new.

- Store properly: Store folded shirts neatly in a cupboard or drawer to avoid creases and wrinkles.

These simple tips will help you keep your Izac shirts looking good and lasting.
