I'm really not sure what to make of the 'permanently affixed' style they have going now. Seems quite awkward to load, no?
I may not be the best person to answer this question, but I really don't see the point of garment bags. They hold very few clothes in relation to the amount of space they take up, and they tend to be cumbersome and difficult to use.

The BR suiter inserts in my bags have always kept my suits & shirts reasonably wrinkle free. All it takes is a bit of hang-time in the closet or perhaps 5-10 minutes in a steamy shower room, and voila, the wrinkles are out.
