Likewise… Love a good tutorial video.
I must confess to doing mine like the US Marine Corps. Start by folding the sleeve along its length to remove the bulk from the folds. Looks cracking.
Need a further explanation/images
Bookmarked that … I see no reason why the method can’t be used for Dark Blues

I think it’s something like this:
Where is the video where they finish that off?
This shows it well.
Although, I do a bit of a hybrid that I was shown by a USMC mate some years ago.
Starting with the longitudinal fold the same, but then I make my first ‘roll’ fold to just below the elbow. Then I fold again, coming up to that point, and my final fold then covers the cuff and brings everything above the elbow (similar to the way she starts that casual shirt fold).
But the key is that longitudinal fold at the start which removes all the ‘puffy bulk’ in the upper arm, hiding it in a pleat, and makes the folds snug around the bicep.
Oh, I see, that would probably work well with Working Blues as they’re less drainpipe cut than LW jackets. I thought you were talking about something like that casual shirt fold.
