I am putting together a Garment bag round-up and currently considering:
Hook & Albert, Satchel and Page, The UBG, and Tumi. What other brands should I consider?
Do Tumi if you can.

Please include: VOCIER, UBG, Samsonite XBlade Garment Bag, The Hangeroo
Maybe Carl Friedrek
On it
This is a great review, thanks Jon...definitely considering this garment bag.
I purchased this bag in navy leather and it is the most stunning piece of luggage I own. An amazing design and incredibly well made.
Can't wait for the garment bag round up !
I bought the Weekender black leather and it is an excellent travel bag. I've used it for many four day trips and no problem for me concerning the weight. It is an investment I'm proud to own.
I bought the Navy Twill with brown accents, love it
Good looking suit there, love the texture and color. Interesting detail having a peak on a single, looks sharp.
When I had to have a suit on a trip, I just wore it with loafers. ;p
Really nice piece of luggage! I agree with you, get what you pay for. I travel for business frequently and need luggage to be strong and durable. Definitely don’t mind paying for this type of quality.
Damn! Transformer bags, whats next?
What a clever design...ps looking very dapper, Jon 😉
I got my own hook and Albert because of your recommendation Kavalier. You are 3 for 3 on the recommendations you make that I buy and I totally agree with you!! The Greats, Hook and Albert and Beckett Simonon. I will always heed your advice from now on my friend. Thank you!!! Very pleased with the bag.
Love to hear that Aaron! Glad it’s working. I have a followup video coming on this soon 😊
Such a nice garment / travel bag. Well worth the investment.
What do you think of the Leatherology bags? Can you include one of them in the duffel roundup?
I commented hook and Albert on your other garment duffle bag review. Happy to see you checking them out. I got there bi fold wallet and just picked up their Chris Paul collab backpack on eBay for sub $150. Love it.
I’m impressed with this bag! Easy to pick out high quality leather. Bet you’ll have that wallet for decades (if you chose to)
Whoa, you gotta start doing a "wrist check!" Is that a Cartier? Nice
It didn't look like it fitted correctly at the lower side of the suit. Up until what size of a suit the garment Weekender can hold? And I mean, without wrinkling the end of it. Thanks
The one zipper on the garment side is an issue, had it break at the airport.
I wonder, does it sit on top of the away bag nicely?
Really interested in this bag where in New York City can it be purchased in leather.
I caught the first generation H&A bag on sale for $300 and I get tons of compliments on it everywhere I take it.
Where did you get in sale for $300?
@@racerx1326 it was a random ad that came across my Facebook feed one day
@@Carl_NoWinslow Did you get it in leather or nylon?
How do suit jackets fair after having full capacity with the bag? Does it ruin padding/put much wrinkle on the suit?
Aren’t flat hangers bad for the suits shoulder padding ?
Hey Kaviler! Could you fit this bag on a small ERJ commuter jet? Could you fit a weeks worth of clothes in this bag do you think? Thanks! Kevin
Great bag! Knowing how I pack, the suit would still get crushed so it would have to be a travel suit. Noting too nice 😂
You are looking sharp today.
Thank you Robert!
Wish it had a trolley sleeve
Mine does
I have done a lot of research on the h&a weekender. And a lot of reviews says its very heavy when packed all the way. When travelling far, It'd be cool if there was like away to slide it onto the handle of a roller luggage/carry-on. Because just laying the straps over the handle will not be secure enough i imagine, if just rolling around it will fall off. Can you confirm any of these things? The weight? How travel friendly it is? short trips. Long international trips. Heavy carrying public transit. Etc. Much appreciated!
Also stuck between this model and their carry-on garment bag. Like the carry-on, but it is small, and doesnt have 4 way spinning wheels.
I took mine to Tulum mexico for over a 2 week trip...it was heavy especially when traveling to other terminals...however I just used my wife's carry-on with wheels and I was able to use one of the handles and wrapped that around the pull handle of the roll away bag. Without that you would be stuck carrying the bag over your shoulders...and when traveling far away on long trips...that will definitely leave bruises on your shoulders...I know I had a few...this is a very nice and sturdy bag to have...and I've used it almost every other weekend on weekend getaways. But for long trips...you have to make sure you are packing the right way...or it will definitely be burdensome. I recommend the Hook and Albert Packing cubes as well.
I like that dress watch you are wearing
Cartier Tank. Pure Class.
@@The_Kavalier lol, over the moon for that watch
I’ve been looking at those but couldn’t tell the quality from the ads
I use Tumi mainly, but recently bought a satchel and page brief
I am looking for a weekender and was considering this bag, one from Carl Friedrik, or another Tumi
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts
After doing this video and seeing a sneak peak of Satchel and Page garment bag I was going to buy a few and do a roundup. Tumi included. Any other garment bags I should consider?
How do you think about garment bag for 1 week trip vs. alum roller (where you have to either wear your suit or fold it up)... will you do a video on that debate... maybe a pros/cons video
Yes excellent idea
imho this works for lesser material suits. if you would wear fine wool suits, it would get such bad wrinkles that it would be a nightmare to iron them only at a professional cleaner.
No trolley sleeve😞
Song? please
Any worry that it is only top grain leather not full grain like satchel and page at the same price?
No, the feels much better than typical top grain & after speaking to Satchel and Page founder if it was all full grain this thing would weigh 10lbs which is why the S&P bag is a lot of canvas. I’ll have the S&P bag next week and do a video comparing them as well as Tumi and Samsonite 😄
Hello brother .
Please can you send me a picture on hook and albert hardware
I don't know how you have time to make so many videos.
Thoughts on the away gartment bag?
Just ordered it. Going to include it in the roundup I am working on. End of October.
Would you recommend this bag over the tummi gatment carry on bag ? Or tummi
That video is coming, I have both on the way
Tx you
I’m having a real hard time pixking
It is cool but there are a few brands that offer better functionalities and way more affordable. I bought one with a shoe compartment at less than 50 euros.
I can buy a Honda for $1k but don't compare it to a BMW
The Kavalier You are right, mate but not everyone would/could spend money on a BMW
Nikola Tesla Yes, something I will be able to address with the round-up coming in a few weeks. $60-$600
stopped video at "$499"
good concept but I am a taller fellow and my suits are too big and I cannot see myself stuffing an expensive suit like that. Hook and Albert, you fail to accommodate the big and tall and you fail to mitigate the squishing sleeves. Nice try though.
Do you have a brand that accommodates larger sizes? I am putting together a guide for these
I use my time large wheeled garment bag. It accommodates my needs because I HATE slinging things on my shoulders. I can wheel it and it save out on breaking a sweat with the weight. Plus the tumi large wheeled garment bag is super spacious. YES, it is huge and may be an overkill. I am not obese. I am a former football player so I am 56L. When you are working with Tom Ford, Kiton, Brian I suits etc, you really want to pamper the shoulders and try not to compress them etc. Not saying I own all of these brands, but I do own a couple. They are investments. Just my thoughts, and they are worth about the cost of a cup of coffee.
TheLeadEagle Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I agree, I pamper my Articles of Style suit like I do my children. I will highlight Tumi as accommodating larger suits in the roundup. Should be up end of October!
Don't buy!! Hook & Albert has no customer support. Bought the same bag in 2021, used it twice, zipper broken. Emailed customer support three times in two weeks, but still have not heard back from them. Wasted money. Do not recommend
