There are many reasons why the traditional city gentleman continues to suffer the ignominy of a crowded daily commute by bus, train or tube rather than jump on a bicycle and energetically weave amidst the traffic of their chosen metropolis.
It’s dangerous, the weather can be foul, you can’t read a newspaper (or an iPad), you’re vehicle of choice has a great chance of being stolen...and there is no suitable way of transporting a suit, or any smart clothing for that matter, in a practical and stylish manner.
Thankfully the SLICKS SUIT 25 bag solves the latter, while leaving you the necessary time to come up with ways of overcoming the four other problems on your own.
While at first glance the SUIT25 looks a smart if unspectacular backpack, on closer inspection it reveals an innovative and ingenious design concept. On opening up the 25 litre pack the user is presented with access to a folded and detachable suit carrier, including hanger, which is perfect for carrying one’s Sunday best without the risk of leaving it a crumpled mess.


While the main feature works a treat, the bag also encompasses enough room and pockets to pack shoes, a towel, additional clothing, as well as a specially developed laptop compartment.
Convenient to the last, and working specifically with the working man in mind, the SUIT25 also includes additional pockets for money and keys while incorporating – in an minimalist manner – reflective strips and a high visibility rain cover.
It’s a superbly thought out piece of kit, brilliant for city commuters and a worthy piece of kit for the 21st century gentleman.
