As
you may know, Lands' End manufactures most of its own luggage. We do
so in order to keep track of the quality of the items from beginning
to end. With good care, they should bring you years of service.
Soft Luggage
All our fabric luggage, whether
it be canvas or nylon, comes with the same care instructions:
- Spot clean or hand wash
with mild detergent.
- Air dry only. (Stuff bag
with towels while drying to help the bag maintain its shape.)
- Avoid drying in direct
sunlight.
- Do not dry clean.
- Do not machine wash.
How to pack Lands' End luggage
Here are our suggestions on how
to pack Lands' End luggage to hold more clothes that arrive looking neater.

1. Roll
clothes.
It's
an easy way to pack them so they won't get wrinkled. Rolling works
well with items like casual pants and skirts, sportshirts, pajamas
and underwear. Before rolling shirts, lay them flat and neatly
fold in the sleeves. Before rolling skirts, fold them lengthwise.
For more delicate items, or clothes that have been neatly pressed,
like dress shirts. |

2. Try tissue.
Place one piece of tissue
underneath the unfolded garment. Then fold it up with the tissue "inside."
For additional protection, place a layer of tissue between garments
when you pack them.
3. Separate shoes.
Shoe bags will protect
your clean clothes, and can also be used to store odds and ends
after you reach your destination.

4. Layer
shoes, rolled and pressed items.
First tuck your shoe bags
into the bottom corners of your luggage. Then stack your flat tissue-lined
items in the center of the bag. Next, put your rolls around the perimeter
of the packing space. (See how the bag gives?) When that space is
filled up, place other rolls around the stacked piles. In the remaining
niches, pack rolled socks and belts, even a few paperbacks.
5.Top it off with
jacket and pants...
...even when you're not
carrying a wardrobe or Solo Voyager. First fold them like this:
Spread the blazer or sportcoat out, with the lining down. Turn the
lapels and collar up so they're lying relatively flat. Fold the
shoulders toward the center of the jacket's back until they meet,
keeping the sleeves flat. Fold the lapels over the shoulders so
that the lining is facing upward. Fold the jacket in half. Lay the
pants out evenly. Place the folded jacket in the middle third of
the pants. Fold the bottom of the pants, then the top, over the
jacket.
