Question 1

Silly question: who has tips on packing this thing?  Got it for husband and he said his suits were all wrinkled. What’s he doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

I have had a similar bag that I pack for my husband’s travel for the last 8 years and have had very good success with using plastic covers from the cleaners over suits and separately over shirts. I put in suits first. You have to smooth the suit out and then fold or roll the sides to fit in the suitcase, using the plastic bag in between the folds. I try to put no more than 2 shirts per cleaners bag to have more control. For the shirts, I cross the arms from the shoulder so that it resembles if you held you hands in front of you, smooth it all out and then again roll it in using the plastic in the crease. Then I make sure to use the snap in straps and especially the foam roller strap in the middle, to keep it all tightly in place, before closing. He usually is able to carry a suit, extra pair of slacks and 3 dress shirts in the hanging compartment. Any other items go in the pockets folded. He is 6’1 and average build, so the shirts and suits do hang over the sides, but the rolling technique has worked well. Also, the plastic helps with creases from folding up from the bottom. Last tip is be careful that the cuffs do not get placed in a fold. They need to be somewhere below the foam roll, but above the bottom fold. When he gets where he is going, immediately take everything out and hang it in the closet. If needed, you can hang things in the bathroom and run the shower to steam it out a little.

Question 4

No, it is not designed to attach on top of another bag but it does have a strong enough handle system to attached other bags on top of it.
