If there are any wrinkles or creases, one swipe of the iron is enough. If I know I am going to wear a jacket, I don't even bother ironing. The creases come out within 30 minutes if I am wearing a suit jacket. I buy no-iron shirts from lands end and roll them. If there are any wrinkles or creases, one swipe of the iron is enough.

Next trick - getting shirts to my destination without them looking like I slept in them. Any tips for that, anyone? Must try rolling the suit and see if it works better than the suit pack I use now.

We didn't roll anything, but there were practically creases in our clothes from folding them! I do still fold towels as I did in Boot Camp and can't stand them folded any different. Sad!

This particular suit is not off the rack - so I need to get it into a tailor. The sleeves are about an inch too long, but everything else is beautiful. I do wish the slacks had a silk lining, my other suit has this and it's nicer to wear than an old pair of jeans. The roll up works! I promise :) My taste in clothing is much more than my budget to buy them, JD! This particular suit is not off the rack - so I need to get it into a tailor.

I learned this packing gem when I was out in CA visiting my best friend who was stationed there at the time. I was packing my bag to go home and it really irritated him. He took over and rolled all of my clothing and it ended up fitting into about a third of the space that I had taken up. I think it's a military thing b/c the only people I know that pack this way have either been in the military or had that influence in their lives. Regardless, I've folded by rolling everything since. I always arrive with no wrinkles (which are the bane of my existence) and plenty of room for other sundries. Dress shirts, though, yes, have to usually be touched up with an iron. Good post, and very valuable information to have as a business person. You former military man, you!
