Answer 1

We actually ROLL our t-shirts up, not fold and it's kind of hard to explain by typing.  You lay the t-shirt out on a flat surface, then you grab it from the bottom and kind of flip the bottom inside out about 4 inches. DONT turn the whole shirt inside out...just a few inches of the bottom.  Then you fold the left and right side of the shirt towards the middle so that the shirt is about 5 or 6 inches wide, with the bottom still inside out.  Then starting from the neck you roll it tight like a burrito all the way to the bottom and when its all rolled up, you take the part thats inside out and pull it around the shirt so the shirt doesn't unroll. Like I said its hard to explain but i hope you get it lol.

Answer 2

I was retrained by my husband on how to fold his white undershirts.

You lie them flat, then fold both sleeves inwards, then fold the bottom to the top, then fold the new bottom to the top in 1/3rds (so twice) then the left to the right in half. You end up with a shirt that is about 10" long by 4" wide by 2' tall. Boxers are rolled. This is all to get the clothing as small as possible for space requirements. If you know how to fold properly you can stow more clothing/gear.
