Decent suit bags?

[Mal]

I've had huge difficulties finding good suit bags in recent times. BIG W has two styles - one a hideous plastic that smells of PCB for ages ($4ish), one that is a more robust but still doesn't look great (~$15).

Myer, David Jones, Target, K-Mart, and men's stores/storage shops either have nothing, resell the same PCB one as BigW (often at higher prices), or sell clear ones which just are bad.

So where can I go to find something decent?

Not looking for the "luggage" style which is very chunky, and really intended to be checked in.

The ones that come free with a decent suit???

Trifolds - I use a Victorinox one which is more of a proper bag, but definitely carry-on and has a great front pocket for my laptop.

I have a spare cover from Virgin Australia that they give free every time they hang up your coat.

You could have that on the house.


Otherwise, I'm kind of out of ideas, unless you got to a formal menswear store (i.e. the places that make suits).

I roll my suit (search YouTube for directions) and pack it in my wheel aboard...

In addition to that, decent (good quality) suits over here tend to be cheaper than Aus anyway. Welcome to suit city..... everyone loves wearing them here!

I brought one years ago & quickly realised that it was a burden.

Have you checked with a dry cleaner; maybe they know where to get one from; or maybe try ebay.

Certainly not Lowes though! Hong Kong a good suggestion..

FWIW.. Thought suit bags went out of style last century.. Admittedly, quite difficult to find any decent suit bag around nowadays..

If you mean the type you get when you buy a good suit, we just took four or five to the salvos when we had a big clean out. Not much help to you, sorry!

Yeah basically after something to store suits an shirts in without them being exposed to the elements. I have had a good look around and there really isn't much out there.

I know that's a genuine LV, but can you say, "bend over"?

Also, shipping form Japan; ideally should be quick, but it's anyone's guess, and our OP only has about a week up the sleeve (pun intended).

I was actually searching for something else and stumbled across it! :mrgreen: PF, please don't say that .... you'll end up with me scouring the site and buying something

I wasn't joking about buying things from them and the shipping is pretty quick from Japan, in general the Japanese re-sellers on evilBay are amazing
