Any recomendations for a good suit bag?

(Sorry for the poor spelling in the title.)

I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a good suit bag. I frequently have to commute with a shirt, tie, and slacks. I have a bag that I currently use that I got from a bicycling magazine, but the cheap quality of the bag is starting to show its colors. The elastic hooks are weakening and it is just a tad too small for my shirts.

I think that it may be time for an upgrade.

Thanks!!!

Check out the garment sleeve from Eagle Creek.

Here a youtube video showing how it works.

Found at Amazon.

Hope this helps.

Sorry you missed the Nashbar Garment Pannier sale. I don't know if Nashbar still sells them, those deep discount sales usually means 'closeout'. Performance may still have a few. I love mine and use it nearly everyday. I don't know how you would attach the product linked above to a bike rack.

Thanks for the input. The eagle creek option doesn't look like it attaches to the rear rack of a bike.

I think that I have a Nashbar suit bag. I was looking for another option because the elastic attachment system is really annoying.

I guess that there are not a lot of "suits" commuting to work on these boards.

I just bought something from Bushwhacker, but it hasn't even arrived yet, so can't comment on quality yet. The Westfield, I think?
