Love the bag! I was easily able to fit: 1 suit (in the suiter of course), 5 t-shirts, 2 pairs shorts, 1 pair jeans, 1 polo, 5 dress shirts, 6 undershirts, 10 pairs socks, and 10 pair boxer briefs, and a fleece with no expansion.

Fitting the bag wheels first in overhead bins was the biggest concern of mine, but I read that the newest model of the 22" baseline was far better at fitting than the previous version. It easily fit overhead bin wheels first in a United 737-900 in Y and United Airbus A320 in F (I imagine same size bins as Y). It only fit sideways in a United 747-400 in F and a Lufthansa A380 in C (window side), but I don't think these bins would fit any rollaboard wheels first. The main cabin on the United 747-400 and middle rows of the Lufthansa A380 can accommodate the bag wheels first in overhead bins just fine.

No complaints whatsoever and highly recommend. Great functionality and great looking! I just need to find a good use for the pocket between the handle frame. I'm thinking a compact travel umbrella will fit the bill...
