Victorinox Garment Sleeve "Werks" For Me

Twice a week I walk the 1/2 mile to the cleaners and back to pick up laundered shirts. Twice a week I struggle to keep from dragging the hanging shirts on the ground (I'm 5'2"), being slobbered on by the dog, or wrinkled as I lay them over the chair when I stop for coffee, on the way home. Twice a week I think there must be a better way to get them home.

Today I went on an online search for a garment bag to carry the clean shirts home in. The requirements were: very lightweight, inexpensive or dual purpose (useable for plane travel) foldable so it doesn't drag on the ground, and a shoulder strap so I have my hands free to hold the dog, groceries, or handlebars of my XOOTR.

This is what I decided on:

Victorinox Werks Traveler 2.0 Deluxe Garment Sleeve at eBags
At $129, it is not inexpensive (there were some for $20), but I'll be using it twice a week, vs the twice a year that many more expensive models are used for. Plus, we are big fans of the duffel bag for travel at our house, so a small sleeve for hanging items will fit in perfectly, since there are always one or two items that don't hold up well in the unstructured bags. Below are the Garment sleeve's specs. This garment sleeve was the best combination of lgihtweight and style that I found on eBags, plus, it has a shoulder strap!

Unique design and innovative materials come together to deliver a bag that is durable, lightweight and stylish.
