Freefold luggage system aims to make garment bags obsolete
« Back to Article
The Freefold commuter travel system is said to maintain the shape of a business suit jacket, tie, shirt and trousers
Freefold reportedly weighs less than seven ounces, is compatible with most backpacks of 25-liter capacity and above, and can be recycled at the end of its useful life

The Freefold system comprises a main foam suit former, a small flat panel for folding trousers around and a larger chest panel
Trousers are secured in place using Velcro straps before the shirt and jacket are placed over the top of the main foam former
Freefold comes supplied with a nylon sleeve
The inflatable Freefold collapses to a fraction of the size of the foam version for ease of storage or transport
The inflatable Freefold is used exactly the same as its foam counterpart
The inflatable Freefold also comes with two flat panel formers to help keep the business suit crease-free during transport
Worldline Luggage is also developing an inflatable version of Freefold, in faux suede finish
Article Summary
If you're the kind of businessman who travels cheek to cheek with commuters on the metro or subway – or who cycles to work – then you'll know that by the time you change into your once-pristine suit at the office, it can look more like a "before" image from a steam iron commercial than something fit to impress the boss. Tony Higson's crusade against creases started with Suit Commute, and is now about to enter the next phase with Freefold.
