I've folded shirts like that for the last couple of years. Someone showed me how. People who work in the clothing industry use it to fold lots of shirts in a small amount of time.

Here's another site that is a bit easier to see how they do it.

Where have I been all these years?! I've never seen anything like that shirt folding, but its AWESOME!!!

I couldn't go to Wrennies first link, cuz I already know my puter freezes up on youtube, & her shirt folding link took me to a download window that would take 18 minutes... so I tried Jim's link ...(& froze up anyway, & had to restart)!

I hate having to admit that I had to watch it 6 times before I finally got the hang of it. The guy was folding faster than he was talking ...& besides that, I'm a little rusty on my Chinese!

I've always hated folding clothes, but I think I'll go look for some laundry to do!

I won't even try the link ifin it's youtube, for folks with dial-up it's just too slow.
But, I did see Martha S. fold one once, she t\showed how, but I didn't folow her.
Folding yer shirts like that is way to O.C.D....even for me

  you got that right Phil. If ya want your shirts like that do them yourself

I've worked in retail and have never seen the shirts folded like that.  The problem is that they come unfolded to easily and that causes workers to have to spend more time folding than necessary.  It is a really cool way, though. 

I love the fabric-wrapping link.  That was real neat.I may have to try that for some gifts this year - less waste 'cause it can be reused!!

The shirts are ok. You can't just slide your hand under a stack of them  to scoop them up because you snag on that sleeve back there. But it is a cool party trick.
