Hi,
I'm Kirby Allison founder of The
Hanger Project and here at The Hanger Project we love
helping the well-dressed take care of their wardrobes.
In today's video I'm going to be showing you how
I pack to travel.
Now packing is a delicate art
between balancing fitting as much
into your luggage as possible
while packing in such a way that you
protect your clothing
and all of your items arrive undamaged
and ready to be worn.
So today I leave for a six day trip to
London and Paris
and so I've got all my clothes here
and I'm going to be showing you how I fit it into my
luggage. Now we all reach a point in our
life where we just don't want to struggle
with our luggage anymore
and so I've recently upgraded
all of my luggage to the Rimowa
Salsa Deluxe.
I've got three different pieces from them.
I've got their largest carry on piece of
luggage.
I've got a medium check
and a large check.
And so depending on how long I'm gone
determines which piece I take.
So if I'm going on a domestic trip where I'm
just going to be gone for a few nights
of course I'm always taking my carry on
but if I'm going internationally
and I'm going to be taking more clothes then
I'm choosing between one of my two
different pieces of checked luggage.
For a trip that's less than a week,
I'm going to take my medium
and for anything that's longer than a week
I typically take my largest piece
of luggage. You'll also see that whenever I
travel I always make a point to dress up
in a jacket and tie.
I find that I've just receive better service
when dressed properly and promise
that I even received upgrades solely
because I was well dressed.
Secondly it just makes travel
more fun.
I pack my luggage in two different sections.
On the left side which doesn't have
the railings from the handles
and is the most flat I put all
of my clothing
and then on the second side
the right side which has kind of the
rough bottom because of the the
handle reinforcements,
I pack my shoes
and then all my different sundries.
The reason I keep those apart is because
on the left side I am able to pack all my clothing.
I am able to keep it flat
and as wrinkle free as possible.
I don't have to worry about any of my bulky stuff
possibly damaging anything.
And then on the right side I'm packing
my shoes
and everything else in such a way that
again my shoes are well-protected
but I'm still able to fit kind of all those random
things in there without
bothering any of my clothes to the left.
The other thing that I've recently started doing
differently is I am always traveling
with my hangers.
And again it just goes back to this philosophy
of not wanting to struggle whenever I'm packing.
And so if I'm packing
with my hangers whenever I arrive
I'm able to just pull everything out of my
wardrobe
or everything out of my luggage,
hang it in the wardrobe.
I don't have to hassle
with putting things on
or off the hangers
or folding things nice
and neatly
and then second it's just nice to
have hangers that fit
and that are taking care of my clothing properly.
Now this is something you could really only do
with the proper hanger like the wooden hangers
we sell here at The Hanger Project.
If you were to try to pack
with wire hangers I would be
too worried about those sharp metal ends
tearing my fabrics
or scratching anything.
So with hangers from The Hanger Project
this is something I'm able to do.
Now as I mentioned earlier on the left
smooth side of this Rimowa luggage
is where I like to put all of my clothes
and I'm going to start with my trousers first.
So the reason I start
with my trousers first is because I
figured that between
the trousers and the shirts,
the trousers can take the most
amount of weight on top of it
without creasing
and any unsightly way.
So I flatten these out
and what's nice about this large
Rimowa is that these can
just fit in
with just being folded over once.
Now if I'm traveling
with my
carry on piece of luggage I can actually
get these on the left side of the Rimowa carry
on which is folding
you know like this at the cuff
so again I really love this
Rimowa luggage. I find that it packs very
easily. I've got the
second pair of trousers
from my gray flannel suit.
So again,
I'm going to put this in.
Right here so I like to alternate
again kind of the direction
I packed things just so that it packs
flatter.
Now that the trousers are in I'm going to
pack my shirts next.
Now as I mentioned one of
the things I really love to do is to pack
with the hangers
and it's actually quite easy to do.
What you do is you just
slide the hanger into
the shirt so that the top of the hook
is level with the collar
and then you just simply fold
your sleeves over
and then fold the body of the shirt
over once
and it fits in perfectly.
OK so next I'm going to pack my
second shirt.
On my first shirt my collar was towards
the left on the second shirt I'm going
to pack it with the collar towards the right.
The reason I do this again
is just so that those items nest
as much as possible
and I find that it just allows me to
pack everything in flatter.
I'm going to position this,
I'm going to fold the sleeves.
I like to flatten these things out as much
as possible.
Since this is a French cup shirt I'm going to fold
that over once
and then again I'm
going to fold this shirt
over once.
There you go perfectly flat.
Again I'm going to drop the
hanger into the shirt body
and then I fold my sleeves
over
and then fold this once.
Now one of the things I do is before I pack
my last shirt,
I take a moment and I pack
any of the other items
in there before I put that last shirt.
I like the last shirt to be.
I like to have a shirt that I place in last
to just kind of seal everything in
to this clothing compartment
and so I've got the vest
that I'm going to wear with my stroller.
I'm going to put this in here.
I'm going to place this
with out the hanger just
because the direction
I placed this the hanger really wouldn't
go.
But as you can see I can fit this in
there and nothing wrinkles.
And then what I'm going to do is pack
my ties.
Right. So again
whenever I'm packing I'm thinking 1.
How do I pack everything in such a way
that nothing wrinkles
or that I minimize wrinkling?
And then 2. How do I pack things in such
a way that minimizes movement
around inside the luggage?
So one of the tricks that I've learned
with packing ties is basically
I'll pack these kind of in a lattice
pattern.
With kind of one over the other.
And what this does is again it
just locks these ties in together
so that you don't have all
your ties moving kind
of around in the luggage.
So let's see I've got that.
I'm going to throw my pocket squares
and right here.
I've got an undershirt.
I'm going to throw also
on top of that.
OK. And then I'm going to pack
my last shirt on
top of all this.
You'll see again because I've got this
shirt going on top
of everything,
it's just going to again
kind of help lock everything
in and just protect
the clothing from anything that
could damage it.
I always like that pack a few extra white shirts
especially whenever I'm traveling to London.
You know there's just nothing more elegant than a
nice white shirt
and I find that whenever I'm traveling
I really appreciate my white shirts the
most because they're just so versatile
in how I wear them.
So this is the last shirt.
And then let's see what else I'm going
to take my socks.
You know I like to put the socks kind of
in between the
hooks to the hanger.
Again just with the idea of kind of locking
those in so that nothing's moving around.
And then there's inevitably always a little bit of
void kind of around the edges.
So I pack my socks in kind of
in and around that.
But for the most part I think I'm done
with everything here on the
shirts.
So I'm going to close this side over.
And again one of the things that I really appreciate
about the Rimowa is you've got these
little accordion dividers
and so it just allows me to synch
everything down
and it's just going to keep everything secure
and from moving around too much.
So for this six day trip to London I'm going
to take three pairs of shoes.
I'm going to take one pair of casual loafers which
I'm wearing
and then two pairs of black shoes
bespoke a whole cut seamless
and then my bespoke cap
toe oxfords.
So the way that I've packaged
these is basically
I'm going to put everything in a shoe bag
but what I like to do
is one is off first place
the shoe in the
Cleverley bag that they came in.
But then second I'll essentially
double pack them and what I'm using here
are The Hanger Project
mole skin shoe
bags. And I like these because they're the
plushest,
softish shoe bag
and you just are going to
have the best protection for your shoe
against anything inside the luggage damaging
that. So I'm essentially
just double bagging these.
Taking the time to snap
these closed.
Another thing I really like about this
Hanger Project mole skin bag is that
it can be tied.
And again this is just going to do a better job
protecting the heel.
And then these bags are also available in several
sizes. Now another thing that I've learned
to do with my shoes is I always place
my shoes
and anything that's heavy that I'm packing
at the bottom of the luggage.
You might not be able to see it
but the wheels are on this end.
And so by having the heavy
items at the bottom whenever the
luggage is upright
and I'm rolling it through the airport,
the heaviest items are already
all the way up the bottom so you don't have to worry about them
falling down the luggage
and crunching everything.
So I always pack my shoes
at the bottom.
Another thing that you'll see
is I always travel
with my shoe trees and again because
you know I want to be protecting my shoes
and so by packing the shoes
with my shoe trees I
know that even if I've got a lot of stuff
on top of the shoe that
the integrity
and the structure and the shape of the shoe
is being protected by the shoe tree.
The other reason I like to always pack
my shoe trees is because inevitably
whenever I'm traveling I'm always
doing a lot of walking.
So it's even more important at
night to make sure that you
let your shoes rest
with the shoe trees inserted.
So,
I know that shoe trees can be heavy.
You know we sell a travel shoe tree here
at The Hanger Project that's lightweight.
These bespoke trees from Cleverley
are especially lightweight
but regardless of what the weight sacrifice
is,
I always feel that it's
necessary to travel
with shoe trees.
Again if you don't have one of our
Hanger Project mole skin bags,
you know you can double triple bag
your your shoes.
I mean again the more
protection you have around the shoe just
the less you have to worry about it scuffing
or anything kind of scratching
or damaging your shoes during transit.
You know personally I really appreciate that piece of
mind.
Now since these are so well-packaged
I'm going to actually place this
fourth shoe and kind of nest
it between two of these other
shoes. With the shoes packed,
now I can move on to kind
of placing everything else in
all the kind of sundry items
in the leftover space
on the side of the luggage.
And again whenever I'm doing that
I'm just thinking how do I place
these items in such a way that I'm going to protect
my shoes as much as possible?
Now one of the ways that I'll do that is take
you know some of my underwear
and some of my other kind of soft clothing
items
and I'll place those
on top
and kind of around the shoes
because again it's just an additional
layer of protection.
I always travel with a Maglia Francesco
travel umbrella.
So I'll put
that kind of right here
you never know when it's going to rain especially in
London.
I've tried to travel
with a full size umbrella
but it's just too awkward getting
onto an airplane
with a full size umbrella.
So I've just kind of resolved myself to traveling
with a nice travel umbrella.
So we've got an extensive collection
of Maglia Francesca umbrellas available
at The Hanger Project. You can find one
that suits your style
and it's a small
but subtle way to really
add a little bit of flair
to whatever you're wearing.
So even in London where I'm dressed
quite formally
or in New York,
it's nice to have an umbrella that just
is a little bit out there in terms of style
and so that's one of the things I really
appreciate about the Italian umbrellas.
These are the extra shoe trees
that I spoke about earlier.
I'm just going to put these kind
of in there.
And then let's see I've got my
toiletries.
One of the other reasons I really enjoy
traveling
with checked luggage is
that you don't have to compromise
in terms of shaving.
You know if you're carrying on your luggage you're limited
in terms of what you can
bring so you can't bring your favorite aftershave balm.
Often times they'll try to confiscate
you know your shave cream.
You certainly can't bring a safety razor
but if you're checking your luggage you can take all
that. So if I'm traveling abroad
and I'm checking luggage
you know I just find that having the right
shaving accoutrement whenever I'm traveling
internationally is just kind of a
home comfort for me so I always take that.
So I've got my shave cream.
I've got a shaving brush.
A badger shaving brush
and then I've got some
of the this is the castle
forbes shaving balm
which I love.
Now these liquids
I always have a few kind of small
ziploc bags in my luggage
and so I'll make sure that
this cap
or the top is is closed
tightly
and then I always put you
know these liquids.
Anything that could possibly spill on my
luggage I always put it
in its own ziploc bag.
Now this I'm going
to instead of placing it in this compartment I'm
going to put this in kind of the zip
and again this kind of helps kind of protect.
Should this explode
this divider is waterproof
and would help prevent that.
So here I'm traveling primarily
with black shoes.
I'm going to take some black cream polish.
I'm going to put this in its own
ziploc bag
and then I always travel
with wax polish.
So here I'm going to travel
with some black mirror gloss
because in London,
especially in the gentleman's
clubs,
you know having a properly shined
pair of shoes is very important so I'll always take a
moment at the end of the night to just
polish my shoes for the next day.
And then I'm going to take a neutral wax
polish
and again if you're traveling
with brown, burgundy.
You can always use your neutral to just
you know quickly shine your shoes.
And so you're only going to travel
with one piece of shoe polish
I would say just a 50
mL tin of the Saphir
Medaille d'Or neutral polish is really as good as it gets.
So I'm going to put these in a bag
again just to protect them.
I'm traveling with a high shine chamois
again this is very useful
for shining your shoes.
I always travel
with one of our medium shoeshine
brushes again at the end of the day I
like to buff my shoes brush
them out just keep them clean
and looking good when I'm traveling.
I've got a small cigar case
with two of my
rolled Corona cigars.
I'll place that in here.
One of the other kind of tips
or kind of tricks that picked up over
the years of traveling is
that in whatever country you're traveling
to if you're traveling
with like Apple products you know go
by the store
and see if you can either buyer
have them give you just one
of the little adapters that goes on.
So I've got one of these
with the euro adapter I've got one for the
U.K.
And I just find that it's so much better
than using a converter.
I've got the iPhone chargers
for the UK
and for Europe.
And so again it just saves all those
crazy adapters you know you might be
used to traveling with.
I've got a travel shoe horn.
I've got one of these in my briefcase
but I also like to keep one of these in my luggage.
Another thing I always travel
with and this is through experience
bad experience actually is
I always travel with an extra set
of sovereign grade shoelaces.
This is actually something you should just go ahead
and put in all of your luggage.
If your shoelaces break while you're
traveling you can rest assured
it's going to be right before
an absolutely critical meeting
and you're not going to have an extra pair
of shoelaces with you
and nobody no shops are going
to be open where you can go buy shoelaces.
So this is just something good to have
because if disaster strikes
you always want to be prepared.
I like to keep that.
I've got a little
travel pouch that I keep
my collar stays in.
And then another thing I always like to travel
with is just a spare iPhone
battery charger because
you know you're out all day.
Especially in this day and age if your phone dies
it can be rather disastrous.
And then although I've got the wireless
earphones for my iphone,
I also always travel
with a pair of kind of Bose wired
headphones and the reason is because like on
an airplane
you still need to plug in.
So these I'll keep in my briefcase.
And then another thing that I always travel
with is just a lightweight
v-neck sweater
and I'll keep this in my briefcase
and the reason is as we all know that whenever we get
onto the airplane it can be absolutely
freezing.
So having a sweater that you could throw over easily
whatever you're wearing is often a lifesaver.
So there we go. We're done
with this side.
I'm going to go ahead and close this off.
OK.
One of the things that you'll notice that I didn't
pack in my luggage are my suit jackets.
And I absolutely refuse
to pack any suit jackets in
my luggage because you're just asking
for all of the structure
and kind of three dimensionality of a nice
nice suit jacket to really be
completely
squished out of it so
I always carry all my jackets on
to an airplane and so I'm going to Europe
you know a six day trip.
I'm going to take two suits
and jacket.
And so what I'll do is I'll always
wear one of them onto the airplane
and they carry the other two in
a garment bag.
So this is our Hanger Project
luxury garment bag it's really one of the
best garment bags in
the world.
And one of the things
that we were keeping in mind whenever we designed
this was that it could be used
for travel also.
So what I'll do is I will
take my
suits
and I'll basically I'll hang
two suit jackets
on the same hanger.
Right.
And so especially
with our luxury kind of wooden
suit hanger with the two
and a half inch shoulder flare.
You can do this snd the
garments are still incredibly
well-supported.
Right. I'll always put if I've got a jacket
that's cut slightly larger than the other I'll
always put that on last.
And then I'm simply just going to put
this onto the garment
bag
and then fold
this in half.
What I'll do is again
I'm checking this piece of luggage.
Right. You're allowed two carry ons.
So I'll take my briefcase
with me
and then this garment bag
will be my second piece.
You can put this either in the overhead storage
or if you are on an airplane
and you've got a nice flight attendant you can
ask if they'll allow you to hang it
in one of the hanging closets.
Personally that's what I always do.
And what's nice about this bag is it can be
folded over
and we've got this little tab at the top
that allows it to be easily
secured in place.
And so it's just efficient to carry.
One of the other things is if you unzip
it a little bit
you can carry it underneath
the neck of the hangar
and it's just very easy to carry through the airports.
You've got your briefcase in one hand your garment
bag in the other.
Now if you try to carry it on the hooks
your fingers will hate you.
The trick to get around that is just carrying it from
underneath the neck of the hanger.
As I mentioned. you know I always
travel with my hangers.
So I'm going to just place
kind of the extra hangars that I didn't
use into my luggage.
You know what I might even do is take one
of these onto the airplane.
So if I want to hang this jacket I have the
option to do it.
You'll see that I travel
with my briefcase.
Basically I use an overnight bag.
One of the reasons I love using an overnight
bag as a briefcase is because it's
throw so much great stuff
inside that so it's always nice.
I've got my trouser hanger.
I've got the extra shirt hanger for this shirt
that I'm wearing.
So there we go. So I'm going to close this luggage.
So I've got my checked luggage.
I've got my
garment bag that
I'm going to carry on.
And then I've got my briefcase.
And I'm just going to throw this other hanger
in there
and these
items.
It's going to be quite chilly in London
and Paris so I've got my top coat.
This is a top coat an old Christian
Dior actually inherited from my grandfather.
And then I'm taking a top hat
with me.
Anyone that's ever been in
cold weather knows that a top hat
really is almost as affective
or as important as a top coat to keep you warm.
And there's no more stylish way to travel than
top hat.
So I always take one of my optimose
with me. This is something that you would
absolutely carry on to the airplane
and wear it on
and then be very careful putting it in the overhead
space just to make sure
that no one comes in after you
and puts anything on top.
