Sweater Storage: Do Not Hang Every Knit Like a Shirt | Lena’s Japan Tips

OVERVIEW
This video is intended for a male audience. An everyday tip for a male audience, based on Uniqlo Japan’s February 3, 2019 storage article, checked October 21, 2026 JST. It recommends folding thin knitwear. Long cardigans and knit coats that do not fit in drawers can be hung, but hanging them normally like shirts or jackets can cause loss of shape. One illustrated method folds the knit lengthways into a V, places the hook at the underarm, and folds the sleeves and body over the hanger. Another folds it before placing it halfway over the hanger. Choose according to the hanger. The article is in the WOMEN category; this video applies its general storage discussion to a male audience, not male-exclusive products. Check the garment’s care instructions. No universal guarantee or new announcement is claimed. Considering folding first is Lena’s opinion.

FULL SCRIPT
A sweater is not always hung like a shirt. Japan’s Uniqlo recommends folding thin knitwear for storage. Long cardigans and knit coats may need hanging when drawers are too small. Hanging them normally can cause loss of shape. One method folds it lengthways, with the hook at the underarm, then folds the sleeves and body over the hanger. Choose a method suited to your hanger. My tip: consider folding before hanging it by the shoulders. Check the garment’s care instructions. More everyday tips from Japan here.
