What is a zippered liner in the bottom of my suit case for? I’m wondering if it has a purpose and if it would be ok to put my shoes under there

randomlylost asked:


I will be flying in a few weeks for a new job in another country. I will be there for at least a year, so i am pretty much packing my life into my luggage. Having never been on a plane before, i don’t really know how much clothes weigh in terms of combined weights within luggage. Looking back i should have spent a little more on the flight and got a better luggage allowance, but as it stands i have 20kg. I plan to take my laptop in a bag on the plane, as well as a cabin luggage.

I need to check in two bags for my trip; one bag with all my casual clothes and another with my suits, shirts etc in. I decided upon buying a small case for my casual clothes and a garment carrier for my suits etc. My question is out of the 20kg weight, how much should i set aside for the weight of the luggage alone? How much roughly would a few suits, a dozen shirts and ties, and shoes weigh? At the moment i am still a bit clueless as to what i can expect to take with me. Clothes don’t weight that much, right?

Thanks

Alex asked:

So my little predicament is, how should I pack my suit inside a rolling luggage bag? I know it has a section on the cover for attaching hung clothing such as a suit but how should I do it? It’s about a medium-sized luggage bag, about 6″ deep. I’m going away for about two months and the trip there is slightly lengthy, a bus ride from Vancouver BC, to Comox, BC on Vancouver Island. How should I do this correctly without ruining my suit? Answers quickly, as I’m leaving in less than 12 hours! Thanks

Rob asked:

I will be going to a wedding and I have a nice light colored fedora that goes with my suit. I will be flying and I want to check my luggage, hat and all. I don’t want my hat to get squashed, so I am looking for a hatbox. Not a vintage, or antique, just a hatbox. If it used or older that is ok. But luggage places don’t have it and eBay has a very limited selection, most of which are sold as antique or vintage. I am just looking for a nice sturdy piece of luggage that will fit in my suitcase and protect my hat?
I know people don’t wear hats so much anymore, but can’t I still find a hatbox for a mens fedora?
