Garment Bag?

January 14, 2023 1:02 AM

Do you have a garment bag you like? My budget is up to $200, but I'd rather spend $100 or less. It would probably need to hold only about four outfits, and I'd probably use it only a couple of times a year, but I'd like it to hold up well for that.

I have an older eBags Garment bag that I've been very happy with. This is their current iteration.

I wouldn't say like my garment bag. It would be more accurate to say I am indifferent to it. But I've taken it to a few weddings and it's been fine. It's this one from Wally. I think a hanger clamp (like most Wally bags have) is essential if you're carrying anything on hangers. Otherwise you've basically got a folded tube with clothes in.

I have seemingly an earlier iteration of that Wally bag, and can tell you it's lasted about 15 years (but starting to fray at the seams now) and that I'm also sort of indifferent to it. Mostly used it for flights of about six hours, and have been able to hang it up or lay it flat, but I end up folding it in half to navigate airports and transit, so that shirts and pants don't still look like they were just ironed -- but are in this sort of gray area where they don't look bad enough that I feel compelled to iron them again at my destination.
