Garment bags?

[Firetacoma]

Curious if anyone has any experience with garment bags for kilt storage. I would like something large enough for my kilt, PC and the rest of the ensemble.

I've been looking at wally bags but am curious what size would be required.

I do take along a kit in the car on occasion. The kit travels best in a cloth garment bag, if it is to be in a closed up car. The argyll and waistcoat are hung on a cedar hanger, to protect everything in the bag, should I stay at an inn.

Are you looking for transportable storage or just a home storage device?

I have one of those hanging closet things. It's about five feet tall and about three feet wide. It holds my one wool kilt and my Argyll jacket plus all of my accessories. I have cedar blocks on the inside and some on the hangers that are attached to the top of the enclosure. It works really well for home storage but would not be practical for travel.

Mostly for home storage... is what you're describing the large plastic box looking thing?

Not sure if I have room in any of my closets for something that large. That's why I was looking more at the bags.

http://wallybags.com/ is what I was looking at.
Also found this http://www.orderofthegael.org/kiltkit.htm but seems a bit pricier than what I want to spend.

No, this is not a hard plastic box, it is a soft breathable bag, but has metal reinforcements inside to hold its shape. I obtained it at the local big box retailer for like $20.

Got my Order of Gael bag today. Haven't gotten my kilt in it yet but they get an A+ for quick service. Ordered on Sunday, here by Wednesday.

On the single suit sized bags from WalMart, I have had difficulties with the zipper sides coming apart. They kind of unzip themselves. I do have two of the 17" multiple garment contraptions with the internal frame and hanging rod I like those and that is what I use for my suits and nicer garments.

Riverkilt found this solution a while ago which I think looks like a very elegant solution and will be my next storage solution: http://www.orderofthegael.org/

Order of the Gael makes a wonderful bag, I have one- room enough for three kits including sporran and shoes. I haven't filled it up all the way yet but have my PC and semi-formal wear in it at present. So, what Cerebite said!

The soon-to-be spousal unit has approved funds for the Gael bag! WOOHOO! Thanks everyone for the replies.
