Business travel - be confident about your luggage arrival

Whether it is packing for business travel, or packing your suitcase for a celebration or a special travel destination, these tips on how to pack a suit in your suitcase will come in handy!

Direction on how to pack a suit so that it’s not a wrinkled mess when you arrive, follow these simple steps:

Instructions

Step 1
 -  Fill your suitcase with the other clothing and items you need before you attempt to add your suit.  The suit should be last because you want it to be tightly packed.   The suitcase will need to be nearly full in order to pack the suit tight.

Step 2 – To add the suit, you’ll need to lay it down across the top of the almost full suitcase.  Situate the garment so that the collar is below the hinges of the top of the suitcase – have the rest of the jacket laying flat and extending over the handle side of the suitcase – we’ll deal with the part that hangs over in a later step.  Make sure the jacket is smooth and that there are no creases or wrinkles.   Next,  fold the arms over the front of the suit, taking care to assure that they are flat and not wrinkled.

Step 3
 – Place the pants of the suit on top of the suit jacket, but place them across the jacket sideways.  The top of the pants, or the waist should be lined up with the shoulder and  the legs will hang over the outside of the case.  We’ll allow the legs to dangle there for now and move to the next step.

Step 4
 -  Now we will continue to fold the jacket. Fold the bottom of the jacket over the legs of the pants toward the hinge of the suitcase.  The jacket should be completely within the suitcase now.

Step 5
 -  Next, we’ll take care of the pants that were dangling over the edge. Fold the pants legs toward the waist line of the pants and over the suit jacket.

There you have it – The packing is complete.  Now when  you arrive at your destination, you can be sure that your suit will come out of the suitcase looking great.
