- try a shirt folder with a board as described above. I have the Eagle Creek 17 or 18" model. Works quite well. Fold two shirts together at a time. This way one shirt reduces the creases of the other shirt. It's like putting silk paper in between the shirts, except it adds no weight. Alternate direction of collars when stacking the shirts. Wrap ties around the folded shirts. Be careful with velcro closure and ties.
Just a little feedback... I use the method quoted above, but have found I can wrap my dress slacks around my dress shirts directly, without wrinkles. I fold and stack my shirts as noted above, less the paper in between them. Next I snuggly wrap my slacks around my shirts sideways. Finally I enclose them in the packing folder which I close tightly. Even in an unstructured shoulder bag, they come out unwrinkled.
