    Question Rabble: D'ya think this would work for kilts?

    Found this today after being frustrated with traditional garment bags. Anyway, it vaguely reminded me of the kilt roll luggage available at the many fine kilt vendors featured here. That got me thinking....wouldn't this work for kilts as well? What d'ya think?

    Don't know about that one but I bought this one for my wife and it's one of the most efficient pieces of luggage that she's ever used:

    Have to think that the tri-fold or roll style of garment bag is the wave of the future.

    It looks to have merit on my cursory perusal. I wonder if you can fit a sporran in it and how many garments can be rolled? I have a kilt garment bag by Order of the Gael that rolls up similarly.

    Both of those seem to be very interesting pieces of luggage... For suits or for kilts...

    Thanks, you guys, for posting those links.

    I saw that on campmor myself, but i was worried about too many folds and i opted for the skyroll. Plus, when i ordered the skyroll from the online merchant i used, I was automatically entered into a drawing for a cessna 172s with a glass cockpit.

    As soon as I get it in hand, I shall endeavor to report on its kilt possibilities....stay tuned

    What a great piece of luggage! Makes me wish I went somewhere!
    Experience is something you don't get untill just after you need it.

    Looks interesting, but the kilt would have to fit cross-ways rather than length wise, or it seemingly could mess up the pleats. Remember if you roll a kilt for packing, you roll it with the pleats the long ways of the roll.

    Otherwise does look interesting.
