Bespoke Post "Destination" Review
My husband is required to travel for work quite frequently and he usually needs to pack some nicer work clothes to bring along with him so he ends up bringing a carry-on suitcase, garment bag, and his heavy laptop backpack with him. When I saw this bag, which would effectively combine two of those, I knew he had to have it! This card highlights a few of the great features such as the water-resistant shell and the fact that it is TSA compliant. Let's check out the outside first!
The Garment Duffle by Halfday - Retail Value $95.00
This duffle bag is a nice size and measures 22" x 12" with a height of 12" when zipped up. It features two smaller handles with a padded wrap to hold them together and also came with a compression strap to hook to the plastic loops on either side of the bag to carry it over your shoulder. The bottom has little plastic feet to protect the bag from getting dirty when you set it down and on one side there is a zippered compartment to hold and smaller items.
When you unzip the duffle around the sides it opens up to a full garment bag complete with shoe pockets that hold up to size 13 shoes. There is a small hook at the top to hang suits up to size 50R from which is then protected by a zippered section and held in place by a horizontal strap in the center and hem clamps at the bottom. This ensures that your suit or other garments will stay wrinkle-free during transit. I was amazed at how ingenious this design was and how many features there were that contributed to its functionality!
To put this bag to the test, I asked my husband to bring me everything he would usually pack for one of his trips. I discovered that the little hook would only hold two of our plastic hangers so I went ahead and doubled up a pair of pants and a dress shirt on each hook.
I secured his two hangers each with a shirt and pair of dress pants behind the strap and zipped it up. I attached the clamps, but I feel like those are really more for suits. Then I slipped his shoes into the shoe pockets and zipped the sides up to form the duffle bag part.
The rest of the items slipped right into the center of the duffle bag and you can see he actually had room to spare inside! How cool is this design? Here is what we packed: two dress shirts, two pairs of dress pants, one pair of jeans, one pair of shorts, five T-shirts, underwear, socks, a belt, two ties, his Dopp kit and a pair of dress shoes. He easily could have fit another outfit in there!
Here you can get a sense of scale. It's just the right size for his trips and is much better than the suitcase and garment bag combo that he usually has to use.
Verdict: This month's Bespoke Post box was perfect for my husband! They seriously have so many cool items and this bag with its innovative design will make my husband's travels a lot easier. This might be a great option the next time we have to travel for a wedding, too, since I could probably fit a dress in there as well! This bag is so nicely made and my husband and I were impressed with the attention to detail with the inclusion of the various measures to secure your garments in place. I think he will get a lot of use out of this bag which is both stylish and TSA-friendly! We paid $48.95 ($45 + $3.95 shipping) for this box and this bag retails for $95.00, so I'd definitely call it a steal!
To Wrap Up:
