Packing a Suit - Briggs & Riley U119CX
 
I recently started traveling for work and am looking to pack a carry-on suit in the Briggs and Riley U119CX, which does not come with a garment bag insert. I am hoping to avoid bringing a larger suitcase that I would like to check in. Does anyone have tips for packing a suit inside the Briggs and Riley U119CX?

I have the same bag and it's a favorite. Here's a link on how to fold a suit to fit in one.

Dedicated garment bags and other suit-specific packing implements are mostly superfluous.

My suits and sportcoats that are worsted wool, flannel wool, cotton, linen, cotton-linen, tweeds, silk blends, all different weights and weaves... I just pack em normally and they never wrinkle unduly.

Trousers are trousers - 2 folds like any other pants.
Jackets - I like to invert 1 sleeve, and slide that sleeve into the other. Then fold jacket length wise.

But really you can do any which way you want. So long as you arent compressing everything to an inch of its life, its not going to crease. Worst case scenario, wools will breathe and "relax" if introduced to some steam

Thanks so much folks. Traveling next week and now I'm comfortable bringing the U119CX so I don't have to deal with checked luggage.
