Travel Tip #6: Wrinkled Suit Coats
by John Wilson
This tip and picture comes from my friend Matt who travels way more than I do.
No more crumpled coats
If you aren’t riding in first class, and you’re on the way to your destination, chances are there is no where to put your suit coat. Your options are to either wear it, (try to) fold it neatly in your bag or the overhead compartment, or beg the flight attendant to take it. None of these are great options and have led to several embarrassing meetings with semi-wrinkled dress clothes… but with Matt’s tip, the whole game changes.
Assuming your coat has the tag intact on collar of the collar of the coat, use the hook (as shown in the picture) on the tray table in front of you. This prevents the coat from getting crammed in an overhead compartment, and makes it possible for you ride comfortably, coat-free.
