Hang Or Fold T Shirts - Which Is Better? Hanging vs Folding T-Shirts
It's an age old argument in caring for your clothes: Should you hang or fold your T Shirts?
There's positives to both hanging and folding, but which is correct and which is better for caring for your t-shirts. Let's take a look.
Why it's better to fold your t-shirts rather than hanging them up in a wardrobe
Some say it's better to fold t-shirts, as the shape retention is better.
The thinking is, that if you hang a t-shirt, it may stretch the shirt. This is also the advice given to garments such as sweaters, jumpers and sweatshirts, but t-shirts can be different.
If you fold a t-shirt you'll not be hanging it up, and therefore it won't get stretched. You may get fold marks and lines, which might need to be ironed out.
But T Shirts are usually very light, and therefore you shouldn't stretch them while hanging them up in a wardrobe. (Check out T-shirt weights explained)
Why You Can Safely Hang Up T Shirts In Your Wardrobe Without Stretching
T Shirts are made from cotton, and hold their shape pretty well. As mentioned, they're also pretty light.
Therefore you can safely hang up a t-shirt on a good quality hanger which is broad that can take the whole weight of the t-shirt.
Many people use their wardrobe to hang t shirts without any issues. This is usually down to space and convenience, as many wardrobes come with a lot of hanging space.
Hanging vs Folding: Wardrobes Or Drawers
Most of us aren't lucky enough to have huge space and walk in wardrobes. If you have a chest of drawers, you might want to store your t-shirts in there, laid flat.
If that is an issue, hanging your t-shirts in your wardrobe should be fine. As you know Jesmundo has hundreds of slogan t shirts, so if your wardrobe is like us, space may be an issue.
If it's a case whether you're choosing to hang a heavy jumper or t-shirt, you should hang the t-shirt while folding the sweater into the drawers.
