For the business traveler, a garment bag is an invaluable travel accessory
Suits and dresses require special care for wrinkle-free travel
If you travel on business or are heading to a location where you will need to wear business or formal attire, a garment bag is an absolute necessity. Also called a suiter, this bag is so aptly named because suits and dresses will arrive at your destination wrinkle-free when packed in a well designed garment bag. These bags are meant to be carried on, if you are flying, and will stow in the overhead bin or may be hung in a closet on the plane.
Garment bags are most often made of leather or fabric, usually ballistic nylon or canvas. These bags are meant to be folded either in half or thirds which makes them much easier to carry.
Look for these features
A well designed garment bag may have some of the following features:
- quality materials
- zippered pockets for shoes and other accessories
- garment curtain to protect clothing
- hanging door hook
- large hanging garment section
- snap out corner pockets
- heavy duty zippers and double zipper pulls
- removable, adjustable shoulder strap
Deluxe models may also come outfitted with additional features such as custom luggage tags and removable laundry bag.
Some popular makers
Popular makers of quality garment bags are:
Briggs & Riley, Atlantic, Tumi, Victorinox, Samsonite, Vera Bradley, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Lark, Travelpro, Pierre Cardin, American Tourister, London Fog, Hartmann, Boyt, Clava and Travelon.
Capacity
Most garment bags will hold from 2-6 suits or dresses. Larger models are available as rolling garment bags with wheels. Be aware that larger wheeled garment bags will be more difficult to carry on and may have to be checked into baggage.
Don't overstuff your garment bag
Be aware that the most common misuse of a garment bag is to over pack it. Best not to try to carry so much in your suiter that it looks like it is about to burst at the seams. Clothes packed in a garment bag that looks like an overstuffed sausage will almost certainly arrive at your destination wrinkled even in the highest quality bag.
