"Hello everyone. I'm Russ Handler and I just love to travel. I'm sure you do too. If you're looking for a garment bag, you know it really, if you didn't know, it really depends on what your purposes are when you choose a garment bag. For instance, here's a garment bag that is for light duty, and this is the typical kind of inexpensive version that you can get at Wal-Mart, and it does work wonders if you're going to be transporting a suit or some garments to and from your home, perhaps to your office. But if you're going to do a lot of international travel, or domestic travel, you're going to want a good one. So, what you want to do is you want to find one, number one, that possibly has a locking mechanism on it. Number two, that is easy for airport security to navigate in and out of, or through, in some cases. And number three, you want to make sure it's high quality. I prefer leather as opposed to some sorts of vinyl. The leather helps your garments breathe better and you want to find one that's going to make sure that when you get to your destination your suits are going to look fine. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
