Put simply, the best video on packing luggage that I’ve seen on RUclips. I will definitely be referring back to this when it comes time to pack for my next holiday. Thanks Ash!
With quality of leather goods that CF produces, a large garment bag would be a dream come true!! Im so very much a nutter for the patina that leather luggage develops over its lifetime. I inherited my current garment bag from my father in law who traveled extensively and you can tell that it has as well. Top notch work Ash👊
According to Companies House Carl Fredrik (accounts made up to 31 March 2022 and filed in March 2023) have no employees in the UK and capital under £10,000. I believe most or all of their production is outside the UK.
Great video and helpful. I have never seen stuffing the jacket sleeves. I have learned it in a similar way in the Swiss Army. Roll the pants with some other pants or take a rolled up t-shirt otherwise. I roll the jacket actually. I turn one shoulder into the other and lay a rolled t-shirt into the shoulder opening. Then I roll the jacket starting from the top. Works for me every single time.
Hi Ash, having been in the luggage industry for over 45 years, and travelling in Africa and Asia on an almost weekly basis, I dont buy your over complicated packing style. The luggage you are using is called a double pack, in that you can pack both sides easily. I always packed my jackets nicely folded and flat, and had no issue with creases when the dividers and cross straps were in place. I think I would do my mind packing your way. Each to his own. Your luggage is really nice, if a bit too Teutonic in style.🇿🇦🇿🇦
Never put all your eggs in one basket! This is why I came back to refresh my memory(rather my wife’s) on how to pack a blazer/sportcoat in a carry on . It would be a shame to have my garment bag go missing upon our arrival in London.
I always try and wear one of my jackets/blazers during travel. I find it easier to keep it crease-free that way - and I also get to look sharp when travelling, a win-win situation!
Many thanks for the advice on transporting the coat specifically. I knew the trick for the pants but the trick to "fill" the coat sounds incredibly useful, thank you! Thankfully the last time I had to get formal dress through travel I knew the hotel had ironing gear available - the next time will be substantially easier! 😂 Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Theres a good vid on the armoury channel for packing and Mark there just folds the jacket in half so the wrinkles end up on the elbows and lower back, where its easier to fix.
Very interesting technique With this suitcase, always had an issue, when you open the items from the top, always seem to fall out! Any advise? But if you are going to iron the shirts, why not just add the suit to the ironing list?
Perfect timing. Leaving on a trip in a couple weeks and trying to improve how to pack a suit instead of wearing it.
Glad it was helpful!
This was wonderfully helpful, as I will be packing in a similar fashion with Carl Fredrik's larger check in. Wonderful ideas, thank you sir!

Glad you enjoyed it!
I've never seen the stuffing the arms trick before. I am going to have to try this on my next trip. Thanks for the tip!

WOW great advice on packing a suitcase. Makes perfect sense and I will be using that technique next time I travel. Thanks Ash. Cheers Ron

Some good tips there Ash. I thought I was ahead of the game with my use of packing cubes but it would appear that I still have much to learn!

That is a fantastic case, many thanks Ash.
Thank you Ash. I’m hoping to go on a cruise one day which will entail packing a tuxedo so this video was incredibly helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Some great tips and techniques there Ash. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sharing this with us Ash! That was great!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Ash!
Ottimi consigli , Ash .
Un saluto dall' Italia.

Very good point, if you’re going to have the trouble of taking out the iron for the shirts you can steam jacket easily
Which watch did you wear for the wedding? Datejust or Rootbeer?
Kuoe Smith - a microbrand from Japan. Left the Rolex at home.
How about adding a pair of extra shoelaces and some wooden hangers? :-)
It's pronounced "vakketta". The letters 'ch' in Italian are a 'K' sound. Vacca = cow. Vacchetta = little cow = calf. In other words, calf leather.
I would have too much anxiety putting a $600 suitcase in the belly of an airplane!
