Really quick question I cannot find the answer to -- I aim on buying a pique cotton button up shirt (not polo) soon and was wondering if you fold it like a polo to avoid hanger marks and stretching, or do you hang it like a regular button-up shirt?

If you use a wooden hanger then there won't be any stretching or hanger marks, because shirts, polos, and similar garments are simply too light to be damaged this way. I only fold my sweaters, because they are heavier.

I hang almost all of my shirts and knits.
I found these that are grippy and curved, so they distribute the weight and I've never had a shoulder stretch or notch problem. Even with heavier long sleeve wool polos.
