got it saves space so the one of the things my my t-shirt drawer is mess so how do we start with the T-shirt okay so when you're file folding you want everything to be the same width so we're gonna actually start with Folding It vertically okay like that which is little different than what you're used to okay you need table to fold everything table something mean it makes it easier you want flat surface because the less wrinkles you have the better your folder is going to be okay now you're going to bring that sleeve in and also all the way down okay now if you have shirt that's little bit wider or little more narrow the trick is that you want to fold them all to the same width regardless so some of them you'll bring it in little bit more than others because you want them to be the same okay exactly so now you're going to bring the bottom to the top don't over fold it okay yep and now the trick with folding thirds always think in thirds so now we're going to fold it in like you're putting it into an envelope basically my gosh one more time that's amazing what if it's like perfect just like that this is great because you can see like what the brand is so that's the size and then look voila and then you just pop it in there like that used to work at American Eagle we had like little board yeah yeah all right all right thank you great job okay jeans jeans okay jeans are gonna be the same for few sweatpants leggings all that so basically you're going to fold it in last time failed at your fitted sheet experiment so feel like you're gonna nail all those things okay so now do you see this little thing right here yeah call that the baby Corner okay triangle it's the boo corner it creates nice straight line so you're going to then bring the bottom to right below tuck in your booty little bit more tuck in the booty perfect okay bring it up tiny bit more right there is fine honestly and then again in thirds one two look at that and so you're gonna put it in drawer with this rounded Edge on top and the open part is going to act like little legs and it's going to keep it upright that's genius and this point it doesn't like get uneven exactly yeah so if you put something out they're not all going to follow that's awesome okay let's talk about workout gear workout gear feel like this is almost like weird shaped things are little more difficult exactly you got the complicated one today yes but the pants are going to be the exact same way we just folded the jeans you're going to fold them in half tuck your boots like so tuck that booty Corner okay bring the bottom to right below the waistline okay now we're gonna fold it in and then we're gonna pause okay now grab that workout top little set flip it over so you don't man and then thirds love thirds right nice and organized now you're gonna pop this right on top of here no way this is gonna make it over wow and you have little workout pouch that's all that and then this way your tops and bottoms match exactly and you can stick it right into your workout bag grab and go awesome look at that that's awesome okay let's keep going you know I've got slew of hoodies in the in the closet okay ready we're gonna start with it face down all right okay nice and smooth you're gonna bring that right side in and we're gonna think of it the same way as the T-shirt you want them all to be the same width okay so you're going to bring that in and now you're going to cut and lay that sleeve flat just like that now do the same thing with the left you're going to want to bring it in the same width that's all right bring it down cut yeah right there yep you might want to bring it in tiny bit more just so you don't end up too wide okay now you're going to bring that hood Hood's coming out down down okay with the strings with the strings make it nice and flat because sometimes it's not gonna be perfect right just judge okay just gonna judge right so like I'm just gonna little judge like that and then you can pop it in or put it straight onto shelf but you want your pocket up like that if it's just like that yeah that takes up lot less space than the ones that fold and if you have Graphic or whatnot then you're gonna be able to see it yeah no this this is going to be bit controversial for some folks okay you contend that we should all be hanging our slacks yes no fold no folds because there's seam that goes right down the front take these over here so what you want to do instead of folding it in half bonobos love that bread yeah we're gonna Pinch at the waist like that and then you're gonna Pinch at the back and it immediately folds them to right where that seam already is yeah it's nice and easy and then equidistant yeah yeah and when you put it on the hanger you want to make sure it's even so you want to make sure that the waist lines up with the ankles like that so that it sits in the closet nice look at that closet you know that was fantastic thank you so much wow
