    The garment bag is a protective cover for crease-sensitive or particularly valuable clothes. However, the travel garment bag differs from simple models for the closet: the business and evening wardrobe can be hung in it and transported crease-free over long distances. The special thing about travel garment bags are practical outside and inside pockets. Many garment bags have a laundry and shoe compartment. A removable toiletry bag and a trolley strap provide even more travel comfort. The trolley attachment system is typical for models that are offered in the multi-piece luggage set with a garment bag. Among the all-rounders are models for business trips. These are usually classic leather garment bags. However, the simple look should not deceive you about the functional equipment: Business models feature, among other things, a padded laptop pocket and a removable address tag. Spacious models close with a TSA lock, which can be opened by airport officials using a master key. Popular are also models with two embedded wheels. Each wheeled garment bag is equipped with feet as standard and can therefore not only be pulled comfortably by a telescopic handle but can also be stored safely. The travel garment bag is a separate piece of luggage and not just a holder for crease-prone clothes. Whether a leather garment bag or a fabric model, many compact versions have an adjustable carrying strap and can optionally be worn over the shoulder.

    Before you buy a garment bag, you should consider what clothes you want to carry in it. When folded, the suit garment bag measures approx. 55 cm in width and 100 cm in height. The depth is about 5 cm for standard models. The garment bag for several items is wider, so your clothes have more room and do not fold as much. For long coats and evening dresses, you need a larger model. Regardless of the size, the foldable garment bag is secured with either a circumferential zip or press-studs. The suit garment bag usually has a lockable zipper and a hanging loop next to the carrying handle. This allows it to be hung not only on the car handrail but also in the hotel wardrobe. No matter which model you choose, whether it is a suit garment bag, an overlong version for larger clothes or a wheeled garment bag, when travelling by plane you must keep an eye on the permitted luggage size. The garment bag for hand luggage should not exceed the dimensions of 57 cm x 54 cm x 15 cm.

    Typical materials and their advantages

    Most garment bags are made of nylon and / or polyester. Thanks to light synthetic fabrics, they are lightweight even with other elements such as hangers or trolley grip. A garment bag made of nylon or polyester is also breathable and usually trump with a water-repellent coating. Important: Water can get inside garment bags that are not completely closed or where the hanger comes out through an opening. Another advantage of fabric models: They usually have no own smell, which can transfer to your clothes. Garment bags made of nylon or polyester have a sporty touch. An elegant alternative – the leather garment bag. In addition to its noble appearance, it impresses with high durability and tear resistance. Leather is furthermore a breathable and weatherproof material.

    How to pack a garment bag properly

    For clothes that are sensitive to creasings, such as silk blouses or linen suits, we recommend stuffing the sleeves and legs. The best solution: white handkerchiefs. Make sure to use blank handkerchiefs – prints can rub off on light clothing. We also advise you to wash or dry-clean and to iron the clothes before packing. If you take several items of clothing with you, it is best to hang them in the order of the planned meetings or events. A garment bag for several items can be identified by more than two built-in hangers. Use inner packing straps to fix the garments in place: they should not hang too tight or too loose. If the garment bag has external compression straps, you should not tighten them too much. Models with inner compartments are especially practical: they can be used to carry accessories such as belts, stoles or ties. High-quality garment bags have hangers with a smooth surface so that sensitive clothing cannot be damaged. For the same reason, you should empty all pockets and close all buttons and fasteners. After arriving at your destination, unpack your clothes carefully and hang them up in the wardrobe as soon as possible.
