How to Store Knitwear and T-Shirts Without Stretching the Neckline

Storage can affect shape when garments spend long periods under tension. Necklines and shoulders are especially vulnerable when heavier knits are placed on unsuitable narrow hangers.

Decide whether to fold or hang

Light T-shirts often hang well on smooth, correctly sized hangers, but heavier knitwear may be better folded to remove constant shoulder stress. The garment’s construction should guide the choice.

Keep storage clean and dry

Fold garments without sharp compression, avoid overstuffing drawers and make sure everything is fully dry before storage. Give collars enough space so they are not continually bent out of shape.

• Use wide or supportive hangers when hanging is suitable.
• Fold substantial knit polos when shoulder stretch is a concern.
• Do not pull hangers through tight neck openings.
• Keep storage areas dry and clean.
