I'm doing some homework regarding traveling over to the Tattoo this summer. I've read all the postings about traveling/packing a kilt and have found lots of good information, especially how to roll a kilt for packing. I have another idea I'd like to share. Using what is called a "SkyRoll". I came across one in a men's suit outlet.
In this series of pictures you can see how the roll works. The suit lays in the zippered garment bag. There is space for some shirts/ties/accessories in zippered pockets on the bag. Zip it up around the kit and attach the center roll. Then roll the bag up. I've used my wool Eisenhower jacket because it's about the heaviest coat I'd put in the roll.
There is space in the roll center, accessed from each end for shoes/socks/underwear and toilet articles
This "suit bag" is marketed as a carry on bag for airports because you can stuff it in the overhead easily. It's marketed at $100 in high end men's clothing stores, but I picked this one up from a chap in California on Craigs list for $25.
