this topic is neat and dear to my heart
my current approach is a Henty copilot for up to 2 jackets with 2 shirts and 2 pants and then additional shirts or pants in a travelpro zip in suit thing, packed in a precisely sized deuter convertible shoulder/backpack aviant 28.
The henty goes in the bin and the aviant goes under seat. Together I get up to 3 jackets with mix and match layers and a 2nd pair of shoes. Can also hold 2 laptops and an iPad natively.
i had to add a diy shoulder strap to the aviant thru the top handle and the water bottle d ring.
The combo is too bulky to look elegant but most of my use is professional conference where everybody is in a jacket but nobody is overly formal, if that makes sense.

Ideally would carry two suits and at least one pair of shoes along with a MacBook (ideal is that this is the only bag I'm taking on). I find bifold garment bags to be unwieldy. I really loved the now discontinued Vocier Avant spinner where the suit wraps around the inner compartment (and the external laptop compartment is terrific) but the wheels keep coming off those bags. Maybe this is an issue with all spinners? I'm considering the Bennett Winch Suit Carrier Hold-All. The LAT 56 doesn't appeal to me because of this special folding system (and I'm concerned about spinners now after my Vocier experience)...in general anything that involves special folding systems doesn't appeal to me.
Plenty of you are traveling with suits...how do you do it? TIA!
