Looking Fly After You Fly

Packing a suit for travel can be a daunting task, but with the right technique, it’s a skill you can easily master. In this guide, we’ll walk you through step-by-step instructions on how to pack a suit in various scenarios, from fitting it into a suitcase to carrying it in a carry-on. Follow along to ensure your suit arrives wrinkle-free and ready to impress wherever your travels take you.

Packing a Suit in a Suitcase Without a Suit Bag

STEP 1

‍Start by laying the suit jacket flat on a clean surface.
‍

STEP 2
Carefully fold the sleeves over the jacket.
‍

STEP 3
Fold the jacket in half, matching the bottom of the jacket to the top. Make sure the sleeves are still folded neatly.
‍

STEP 4
You did it! Now gently lay your suit jacket at the bottom of your suitcase.
‍

STEP 5
Fold the suit pants in half, matching the bottom hem to the waistline.
‍

STEP 6
Lay the pants over your suit, and you’re done!

Packing a Suit in a Suitcase With a Suit Bag

STEP 1
Put your suit on a hanger and insert it into your garment bag, carefully closing it.
‍

STEP 2
Fold the bottom of the bag over the top.
‍

STEP 3
Place it in your suitcase, and you’re good to go!

How to Pack A Suit in a Carry-On

STEP 1
Follow the same folding technique for the suit jacket and trousers as described for packing in a suitcase.

‍

STEP 2
Lay the suit bundle flat at the bottom of the carry-on bag, ensuring it lies as flat as possible.

‍

STEP 3
Use packing cubes or compression bags to organize and compact the rest of your clothing, minimizing wrinkles and maximizing space.

‍

STEP 4
For extra protection and ease of use, we recommend using a suit bag. Simply fold it in half and place it at the bottom of your carry-on suitcase or weekend bag.

Additional Tips and Considerations:

- Invest in high-quality garment bags or suitcases with built-in garment compartments to provide extra protection and minimize wrinkles.

- Avoid overpacking your suitcase or carry-on, as excessive pressure can lead to wrinkles and damage to your suit.

- Even though we take measures to try and prevent them, wrinkles happen, so upon arrival at your destination, hang your suit as soon as possible to allow any wrinkles to naturally fall out.
