Thanks to Jon for his question on how to fold your gi top for easy transport and storage.
We welcome any questions you have. If you’re wondering about something, there’s a good chance someone else is too
Step 1
Lay the gi top out front-up on a flat surface. Straighten as you go.Stretch the base of the back out flat
Align the left-hand (as you look at it) side seam
Fold the left side of the gi across
Align the the bases of the back and left front
Straighten the lapel from the base to the collar
Step 2
Fold the right hand side in the same way
Check that the two side seams are straight
Ensure the bases of the back and the two sides line up at the bottom
Forgetting about the sleeves for the moment, make sure the front, back and sides are stretched out flat and the collar and lapels are flat and neat
Step 3
Fold the left side of the gi across the front
Be careful not to fold the bottom corner of the right side back on itself
You are folding from the edge of the right side at the base to about half-way between the collar and the left shoulder at the top
Stretch out the sleeve
Step 4
Fold the sleeve back on itself in about half
Step 5
Repeat for the right side
Step 6
Fold up from the bottom in thirds
