A novel garment holding device for use with various types of luggage comprising a substantially cylindrical hollow tube about which suits and other garments can be completely wrapped, a fabric cover for holding garments securely about the outside surface of the tube, and a flexible hanger which is capable of holding suits and other garments against the outside of the tube while being flexible enough to conform to the curvature of the tube. A fabric cover wraps around the garments and the tube and holds the garments securely against the outer surface of the tube. Because the garments will be rolled instead of folded, wrinkling of the garments will be reduced. The hollow center of the cylinder is utilized to carry bulky and awkward shaped objects such as shoes and shaving or makeup kits. The tube, when holding a garment wrapped around its outer surface, can be carried inside any luggage of appropriate size. Because of the novel way the suits and garments are wrapped around the outside of a cylinder the overall shape of the luggage can be more compact and easier to carry.
A garment holding device for use in retaining a hanging garment in an item of luggage comprising a rigid hollow tube of substantially circular cross section having a first attachment means for attaching a hanger with a primary hook and neck whereby said hanger is attached to the outside surface of said tube, said tube being of a dimension such that garments on said hanger are wrapped completely around the outside surface of said tube whereby garments longer than the circumference of said tube are wrapped around onto themselves until they completely conform to the curvature of said tube, said hanger being flexible enough to conform to the curvature of said tube, said garments being held in place against outside surface of said tube by a wrap around cover having opposed ends and means to detachably secure itself to said tube and detachably secure said opposed ends wherein said cover is wrapped around said garment and tube.
