On the move and on the ground, the Werks Traveler 6.0 collection fuses smart functions with elevated detailing to smooth out potential wrinkles on business trips.
Samsonite says many garment bags are designed for cabin size limits but some may need checking in. Check the folded size against the airline's cabin bag limit. On easyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air the free allowance is a small under-seat bag, according to the airlines' own baggage pages (checked 27 Oct 2026), so a suit carrier usually needs a paid cabin bag option.
Hang the jacket in its carrier as soon as you reach the hotel to let any creases drop out.
Suits themselves are everyday clothing, and GOV.UK says the self-employed cannot claim for everyday clothing such as suits, even if worn for work. HMRC guidance also says ordinary luggage does not qualify for employee tax relief. If the company buys suit carriers for staff, ask your accountant how to treat them.
On our shortlist, the Tumi Garment Bag - Travel Accessories - Black is the best overall pick at £230 from Case Luggage. For a tighter budget, the Tucano BPCOWE-ECO-B luggage Garment bag Soft shell Blue Nylon (£26.99) is our best-value choice.
A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim the VAT on equipment bought for business use, as long as it holds a valid VAT invoice from the supplier. Ask the seller for one at checkout.
The picks here come from Case Luggage, Back to the Office. Most UK trade suppliers offer next-day delivery and VAT invoices; some offer credit accounts for regular orders.
Often yes, if it folds down to the airline's cabin bag size. Samsonite notes some garment bags may need to be checked in. On low-cost airlines, a suit carrier usually needs a paid cabin bag.
A bi-fold carrier gives fewer creases and suits train travel. A tri-fold folds smaller and fits more easily in an overhead locker.
Not if you are self-employed. GOV.UK says you cannot claim everyday clothing such as suits, shirts, dresses or ordinary shoes, even if you wear them for work. Uniforms and protective clothing are different.
