Folding clothes

Folding clothes is a regular activity for most people. Clothes are folded to allow them to be stored compactly, to prevent creasing, to preserve creases or to present them in a more pleasing manner, for instance before their sale. Folding the clothes indicates that the person is organized and not shabby.

Many cultures fold clothing in different matters. In many ways, folding clothing is a type of meme. Some clothing, such as hakamas, have tradition or cultural meaning to their specific way they are folded.
