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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
