Abstract: A garment folding apparatus and method which facilitates the neat and uniform folding of garments such as shirts and the like. The apparatus has a simplified structure including a substantially rigid main body portion which serves as a folding guide, and an upper supporting portion which facilitates storage and handling of the apparatus. The apparatus may be fabricated of a thermoplastic material such as acrylic, or alternatively the main body portion may be formed of aromatic cedar while the supporting portion is formed of metal. In use, the apparatus is removed from the folded garment after folding operations are complete, so that it may be re-used time and again.
