I have several of the simple plastic and tyvek type breathable side bags from walmart or target for storage and I also have a travel bag from Order of the Gael. I have a handful of Scotwebs kilt hangers which are great, several pairs of simple skirt hangers (like the scotwebs but half the size with only two clips---used two per kilt and folded in half to hang), and 4 Gael hangers. I like the Scotwebs best and the other two systems are functional. The Gael hangers, although most multifunctional, are the hardest to use IMHO and have a definite weak spot at a wood joint in the hanger part----I have had one replaced and had to reglue two of them in the 12 months I have had thier system. The Gael hangger's three parallel sets of kilt clips are actually somewhat cumbersome to use and IMHO not wide enough for my kilts (45" waist) or for my jackets and vests (50xl). I prefer to travel with my Samsonite oversize garment bag and the scotweb hangers and regular coat hangers for my jackets/waistcoats, if I am packing for airlines. If I am simply driving somewhere the Gael is addequate, but I worry the hangers won't last the abuse of the baggage gorrillas at the airport if I were to fly with it.
I use lavender scented blocks with the hanging bags along with some cedar block hangers to ward off the moths, and prefer the scent of the lavendar personally.
