[Narrator] How to do it better

(bouncy jazz music)

with GQ.

How to fold and pack a suit jacket, the right way.

(applause)

One, if you have a suitcase, stash your suit

in a plastic dry cleaning bag.

Two, fold it in half.

Three, lay it in your suitcase.

Boom, you're done.

But if you're working with something smaller

like a weekend-sized duffle, try this

inside-out trick we call suit jacket origami, hi-ya.

One, grab the suit jacket and pop both shoulders inside out.

No need to be delicate here.

Two, fold it in half so the lapels touch.

Three, fold it again.

Four, throw it in your bag.

(bottles clinking)

Five, when you get out, pop the shoulders

back into place and your jacket

is good to go wrinkle-free.
