Soon after we get married, FI and I will both be going to several academic conferences and (we hope!) on job interviews for professorships around the country. I am therefore considering registering for at least one, maybe two, nice garment bags that fold up like carry-ons but can hold a few suits and dress shirts at once. Our careers thereafter will involve at least a couple of cross country, and possibly international, conferences and research trips a year for each of us. This would definitely be useful gift if anyone got it. But...holy crap are they expensive! The ones I've seen are at least three hundred, mostly 400-600. Other than that, the most expensive item on my registry is a kitchen aid mixer which is a pretty standard item for most showers/weddings I've been to for my family and FI's recently. So my questions are, 1) If you own one of these and travel a lot is it worth it? 2) Would you side-eye a piece of luggage that was this expensive if you saw it on a registry?
