Trying to remember. Probably 4 shirts and two jackets and some pants, in a garment bag that normally goes in the closet. A carry bag attached to a roller, which had to be unattached at five points to fit in the very small overhead. And my Briggs & Riley bag, which is not much of a problem.
It was the carry bag and roller which caused the time delay, as I wasn't prepared to pull apart. I'd have been glad to pull into row 3 and get it done, and let everyone by. Since ATC really determines when we take off, it probably didn't affect schedule, though-- but it could, so let the people past!
