Stowing formal attire on a bike?

[ibafran]

I have a roadcrafter. Depending on timeframes, I wear the suit under the stich and pack other clothes. In your particular case, I would wear the suit to work and remove it and hang it up for the day while changing into the daily work garb. Then wear the suit to the event. Let us know how it worked out for you.

I'm a classical pianist, so this is a familiar problem for me, as I often have to carry a suit or a tuxedo. I use a regular garment bag, fold it in two, and put it in my Givi 52-liter topcase. There's plenty of room left over for other stuff too.

That Skyroll thing looks cool but $200? Fuck that.

I work sales and I'm required to wear a suit for work. Problem is, half the time I wind up taking the car so I'm not soaked in sweat by the time I get to work.

Change at work, or maybe mesh gear over your suit pants and shirt?

I wear mesh over boxers/tshirt anytime its over 70 degrees, I'm apparently rather hot natured. When I do I ride, I change at work. In the summer I still wind up pretty soaked.

Airflow is one area where cruisers really take the cake...

I did the rolling method described in the video back in post #12. Worked like a charm!

In the future, I'll probably buy a proper garment bag like a real grownup.

If you put it in a plastic dry-cleaning bag (like when you get it back form the cleaners), then roll it, it will keep the wrinkles to a minimum. I have done this a number of times with success.
