> 3 dayThis is exactly what I was looking for, the only thing missing is there doesn’t seem to be a way to hang it on a door like I’m used to.

> 3 dayExtremely well crafted, above average sturdiness and durability. With that said if you are looking for a garment bag that embodies robust construction and class look no further. This is the garment bag for you! Now if you are looking for a bag that is of lesser quality but will get the job done with less durability there are plenty around with a lower price. The old saying goes you get what you pay for. Now is the bag perfect? No it is not. It could have a hook for hanging it vertically. And if you have a long stride and or are above average in leg length the bag might be problematic because you might kick it with your heals as you walk.

> 3 dayThis is a high-quality garment bag with an outstanding combination of strong materials and smart design. The exterior is durable and should be able to stand up to years of heavy used. After using the bag on one trans-Pacific and one cross-country flight, it more than stood up to typical airline abuse. The inside is laid out well, with plenty of room for clothing, toiletries, shoes, and more. The packing space is ample and smartly thought out. The one minor drawback only applies to over-packers -- its very, very easy to pack the bag and go over the 50-pound limit. The bags weight is roughly 13.5 pounds, which is reasonable for the materials and size. The initial weight combined with the ample space could result in overage fees. All told, I have no problem recommending this bag for anyone that does heavy travel and needs to keep their clothes wrinkle-free. Its well made, it uses great materials, and it has a great interior design.

> 3 daySo, I purchased this bag in advance of a trip that I had scheduled a few months later. When I finally pulled the bag out to use it, one of the clips wouldnt lock. With the 30-day Amazon return policy having expired, I thought No problem. They have a lifetime warranty. I will just have it fixed, right? Unfortunately wrong. I contacted TravelPro which directed me to the nearest repair center. The day after I dropped it off, the repair center called to say that TravelPro doesnt have the part in stock (what?) and, therefore, it is NOT under warranty (again, what??). They would be happy to fix it, but their clip will not match and it will cost me $48!!! Words of wisdom. Get this bag out when you receive it and give it a fine-tooth combing but, more importantly, do NOT be fooled by the so called warranty. The fact that they dont even have those clips in stock (probably an item that costs less than a dollar), means they likely dont have many parts in stock. And why wont TravelPro pay for the repair?? UPDATE: TravelPro has since stopped taking phone calls for customer support. Everything is email or live chat, to which they dont respond to either.

> 3 dayI love most Travelpro products but this garment bag falls short in that there is no ability to hang it in the closet or on the door, which in my opinion pretty much completely negates the convenience a garment bag usually offers. Rather than having the ability to reach in and grab what you need when you need it, you have to completely unpack it upon arrival unless you dont mind constantly laying it on the bed and unzipping/rezipping it every time you need an item (aint happening). As pointed out by some, it appears this is because this bag features latches for suit hangers on both ends of the bag and thus some would end up upside down if you tried to hang it. However, how often do you really need to pack that many suits? For the vast majority of my trips two suits is enough, and thus hanging it would not have presented a problem. Even when more suits are demanded it would have been nice to have been able to remove the upside down suits and then be able to hang the bag. The fact that there is no hook to accommodate the vast majority of trips (at least for me) is quite a bit of a disappointment.
