Default Huge thanks for shirt folding instructions

The instructions someone (james?) helpfully posted on folding a shirt
are fantastic.

Instead of a shirt rolled into a beach towel and requiring virtually an
entire pannier for transit, I am just about to leave for work with my
shirt folded back into the box it came in. It slips easily into my
briefcase pannier. Truely marvellous.

You don't have a similar recipe for origami-ing a full business suit and
office shoes into a rack-pack, do you?

I would just wear the damn stuff and try to stop acting like a big
blouse ... IMO cycling is normal & doesn't require 'specialist'
clothing, but it looks like your job isn't and does. So how about
attaching a large umbrella to your frame and with the aid of some pegs
duck tape and hangers you're entire weeks wardrobe can attach and be
transported in one easy action. this has the advantage of being able
to dry wet clothes en route

Ridiculous!
If you need an umbrella, just ride along with one hand on the handlebar
and hold the umbrella in the other.
Goes well with chap's jacket, shirt and tie, and shorts to match the
jacket. For details visit Oxford.

Yeah, thanks for that. You may have noticed that until last Wednesday I
was doing exactly as you suggest. But with a new longer commute, there
comes a point where it is neither practical nor enjoyable to cycle in a
suit.
