Shirts and the carrying of them

[AntLockyer]

Hi guys, I want to bring 4 shirts to my office on a Monday morning and have them crease free ebough to wear for the rest of the week. I do not have ironing facilities at work and am not using the laundrey service anymore for financial reasons. I will be travelling on public transport on Monday's so something like a foldable suit bag is about as big as I'd like to go.

What have you had success with?

While not perfect, I have good luck *folding shirts and than rolling them into a towel. The entire mess goes into my courier bag and 1 1/2 hrs. later emerge looking pretty darn good. *Not sure where I learned to do this the trick is to fold each side 1/4's than fold from the bottom in 1/3rds. This is sort of how I do it:

Interesting, I saw this today ShirtStar - The unique travel packing system for a crease free shirt

I've had decent luck with the Eagle Creek folders, but they can get heavy if you have to commute by bike to use them (I know you're not, but I'm assuming some reading this will be). I think the shirt matters quite a lot. I have some that look like shit no matter what, even fresh from the dry cleaners, and some that I'm pretty sure I could shoot with a .45 and would look fine. The last big trip I did, I just folder them freestyle and used the "bundle method."

+1 on the Eagle Creek folders.
I have one of the smallest ones and bring my work clothes in my messenger bag every day.
Also use it for short business trips- nicely fits 2x shirts and 2x pants, so 4x shirts would be no problem.

Maybe keep 4 hangers on the back of your office door and hang them up when you get to work?

I use their packing cubes and have had pretty good luck. I'll start using the bundle method with it to see if I can get better luck.

Fold them carefully around rectangular pieces of foam core and put each in a 2 gallon ziplock bag, press the air out and seal them up with the zipper. Hang them up when you get to work. You can carry them in a grocery bag like that and they will stay fresh. All in the folding though.

Buy Brooks Brothers' no iron shirts too. Great.
