Business travel has one requirement the others do not: arriving unwrinkled. Fabric choice does more for that than any folding technique.
Choose fabrics that recover
Wool and wool blends drop their creases hanging overnight. Linen and cotton do not, and no amount of careful packing changes it.
One suit, two shirts, worn differently
A two-day trip needs one suit. Changing the shirt and tie changes the outfit enough for anyone who is looking.
Hang it up on arrival
The first thing out of the bag goes on a hanger in the bathroom while you shower. Steam removes most travel creases for free.
