I used my garment bag for the first time last weekend, and it worked out very well for me. It was used on a road trip so I can't comment as far as taking it on a plane, etc. I only had one ladies jacket plus a cami (double hung) and two ladies blouses (also both double hung) for a total of three hangers. I really think I could have carried twice as much without being too crowded. I did use the thin hangers that are suede covered (if that makes sense). I'm very happy with it so far.
