suit (garment) bag recomendations

[Mr Herbert]

Am looking for a suit bag which is good for a couple of suits and a sports jacket. Any recomendations?

I am leaning towards the Filson Garment Bag Style Number 270 but am open to suggestions.

Garment bag ($6,990), suit ($3,440), and shirt ($545) by Tom Ford, tomford.com.

Men who wear pleated khakis, sneakers, and pink polo shirts to fly are fine with black nylon rollers. If your business-trip attire includes a cashmere blazer, however, you should invest in something that reflects your status. Consider Tom Ford's foldable garment bag. It's made from supple full-grain bull skin and full-grain French calfskin, which is fancy talk for durable and masculine. It-s also water-repellent, lined in perforated suede, outfitted with gold-plated bronze hardware, and equipped with two pockets for shoes. It-s a carry-on worthy of your four-figure suits.

For 7 grand I would expect the hardware to be more than just plated bronze.

The answer depends on the purpose of the storage bag... If your'e traveling, then those nylon bags that you get from your clothing retailer are quite useful. If your'e storing your wools for the summer, then you should NOT use those nylon bags. For 2 reasons: (a) the nylon breaks down over time, off-gases acids and acids are detrimental to fine garments, and (b) all garments, whether composed of natural or synthetic fibers, need to breathe. Note to SFers who store in nylon bags: Yes, I know that you've stored your garments in those bags for years "with no detrimental effect". For more information and my comments on this subject....

If you mean for travel I have a Tumi alpha tri fold rolling garment bag. It's better than a standard rectangular rollaboard if you have more than one suit to pack, perfect for that business trip lasting more than a couple of days and you can carry/roll it on board a plane. It's only drawback is not much room for shoes so I choose a versatile pair.
