For personal item, check the Red Oxx Extra Small Aviator Bag. What you can pack into that bag boggles the mind. It is personal item sized, same as many pet carriers and fits under the seat. I can pack my 14" laptop (in a sleeve), a pair of shoes, a change of clothes and still can squeeze in my Bose QC15. For travel clothing check the Scottevest clothing, I have cargo pants and a jacket, the ereader, misc chargers and cables just disappear in them.
