    Lay shirt on floor and fasten top button.

    fold sleeves into centre, and then fold again each side on a line down from each side of the collar so they overlap.

    roll up from bottom of shirt to collar.

    put in ruckssck / bag.

    arrive at work and unroll shirt to find no creases.

    as he said - rolling them is the way, be prepared for consternation from anyone else who sees you do it but it works

    Rolling works for me, I also take some spare socks with me and roll my shirt around them, works even better.

    Whilst rolling works, I find all too often a rolled shirt ends up as a crumpled heap at the bottom of a pannier after it's bounced around a while.

    I switched to using a shirt packing thing, and it takes my shirt, trousers, slips in to my pannier (fits a "laptop" sized compartment perfectly), and no real crease problems. Changing is a doddle as I take my pack-it and wash bag to the showers rather than lugging my whole pannier.

    IMHO well worth the money, it's called an Eagle Creek Pack It and costs around £15-20:

    I've got an Eagle Creek one. Picked it up at a Rohan store a few years back. I've seen 'em in other travel / camping shops too.

    It's really good at it's job, too - I use it everytime I'm abroad with work (and I pack for a three day trip into a large laptop case).
    How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.
