Been several years since I have flown for work and next week I have several meetings in Dallas. Lots of face time with power brokers yada yada.

My question is I have to wear a suit or two and was curious whata best for packing and taking on a flight?

Im trying to avoid a suit that looks like Joan Rivers neck.

Do I just wear one on the flight and pack a blazer with a shirt to make sure at least one looks sharp?

Sorrry to ask but kinda a big deal and I want to be on my A game.

This is common for me. I have a garment bag that zips up like a suitcase with spinners. I would recommend using something like that, because it keeps everything from getting wrinkled. You can fit 4 suits, 6 shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, toiletries, etc...

This is a great one, and one hell of a price...

Roll them up do not fold. Or if it's for work why not just check them in one of those boxes for suits? The company is paying right?

Yeah companies dime (s)

Excellent call.

I may need to run out and get one. My travel time will start ramping up soon anyway.

I traveled a ton for business (both domestic and international).  Even with the garmet bag, you will still have a bunch of wrinkles.

 

I purchased a small handheld garmet steamer for about $40 that I throw in my bag.  I use it to quickly drop out wrinkles created during travel in my shirts, pants, suits, etc.  Works fantastic and will not damage the wool or wool/blend suits like an iron will.

 

Here is the one I have and it is pretty small.

I've been fortunate to stay at hotels with complimentary dry cleaning. Depending on how much time you have, you may try that if you find you slept in your suit.

 

Are you staying with a certain hotel chain and do you have a rewards membership?

I travel two or three times each month. Pack my jacket, shirts, pants in a suit bag and fold it on the top of everthong else in my carry on. Iron the shirt and pants at the hotel. Hang the jacket in the bathroom, close the door, and turn the shower on hot for five minutes. Steams your jacket - no more wrinkles.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
