Change in topic here, but curious to know what you guys do with your POLO type shirts. Do you hang them in th closet or fold them and shelf em? Im scared of hanging my good ones for chance of the neck getting stretched out or stretching in general from a hangar, especially if not worn in a while. then again you gotta Iron if folded

I fold mine so they don't get hanger marks on the shoulders.

I hang mine on wooden hangers.

I touch 'em up with an iron - then fold them over good hangers. They last years that way.

I hang almost everything, including polos and outer T-shirts. All trousers, even blue jeans and cargo shorts, get hung full-length, never folded in half over a hanger. Neckties & bow ties are likewise hung to avoid wrinkles.

The only things that go into drawers are boxers & briefs, gym shorts, swimwear, white T-shirts worn under other shirts, and socks & jocks. The few sweaters and bulky knit shirts I still wear in Florida are folded flat on shelves.

my idea of "ironing" is to spritz it with a water filled spray bottle, toss it in the dryer, and put it on while it's still warm.

Take mine out of the dryer while damp then on a wooden Hangers. Then do not shrink if you do that

On a good hanger, never on a crappy metal hanger.

Polo shirts should always be folded. They lack the support structure in heavier shirts that are ok on hangers. Your polo shirts will eventually stretch out on hangers.

i hang mine, but now i think i'm going to start foldin' 'em.

I hang mine, always on good curved wooden hangers. Plastic ones tend to leave those little hanger bumps on the shoulders. I actually hang everything. The only things that go in drawers are socks and undies.

Yes! The popped collar made guys look like douchebags in the 80's. If anything, it looks even worse now.

I actually do both. For some reason, I usually hang newer shirts and fold older ones. I also try to use plastic hangers, no wires.
