How to Fold a Hoodie - 3 Methods (Including a Pillow Hack)

This one turns your hoodie into a travel pillow. Lay it flat with the logo facing down. Fold both arms straight across to the opposite side - if the arms are long, fold them in half first. Bring both sides into the middle so the body becomes a long rectangle.

Split the rectangle into thirds and fold them over each other twice. Fold the hood up over the bundle. Pull the drawstrings tight around the whole thing and tie them in a bow. Thicker hoodies make better pillows - thin sweatshirts compress flat.

Best for drawer storage. Lay the hoodie face up. Fold both sides into the middle so the body becomes a long rectangle. Take each arm and fold it diagonally down across the body - the arms create triangle shapes pointing toward the hood.

Fold the hood over the body and tuck the drawstring ends inside the hood so they don't dangle. Split the bundle into thirds vertically and fold over twice. The result stands upright in a drawer, which means you can see every hoodie you own without unstacking.

Tightest packing of the three. Lay the hoodie flat with the logo facing down. Fold both arms across to the opposite sides. Fold both sides into the middle - if you want a really tight roll, fold each side again to make the rectangle even narrower.

Roll tightly from the bottom hem all the way up to the hood. When you reach the top, fold the hood over the roll to lock it. Pull the drawstrings tight around the roll and tie them in a bow. The roll holds its shape in a packed suitcase and you can see what you have at a glance.

You don't need one right answer. The methods solve different problems.

Long flight, train, or bus? Pillow fold - actually comfortable to sleep on, and you don't have to carry an extra pillow. Closet drawer? KonMari - it stands up and you can see every hoodie at a glance. Suitcase or backpack? Travel roll - tightest packing, drawstrings keep it locked.

Most people end up using two of the three depending on the day.
