How (And What) To Pack For a Weekend Getaway

[@jopo5615]

Videos always so neatly edited and paced. great work! You are the the GOAT menswear channel!

[@hespokestyle]

You’re so kind! That means a lot. We put a great deal of effort into all of those things you mention.

Wow!!! This takes the 'art of packing' to another level. Brilliant 👏 Also, I loved the backing soundtrack...especially when folding your trousers 😊

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much!

[@I_S2_I]

Love this - great outfit ideas. I am a bit more limited given my size. I basically have to half what you provided. I make it work, but it's hard to create unique outfits for more than 2 days.

[@Mr.Am-Ace-Ing]

Hello from a fellow Marylander! I love the channel and how accessible you make upgrading my style.

[@hespokestyle]

Amazing! Thank you so much. I'm glad you find it helpful.

[@manelisimabuza4454]

Love the new bold beard look. Cant wait to see many outfit inspirations featuring the new beardy look

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks! I actually had to shave it, but once I'm retired from the Army, it'll be a permanent feature.

Flawless. I had no idea about packing cubes!

[@hespokestyle]

They’re awesome.

Nice to see you back Brian. Hope you weren't here last weekend, it was pretty darn cold! Regardless, lovely looks and a great "tutorial" on packing! - Han

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Han. Have you been checking out the interview Shorts from Pitti?

[@tedgorman12]

Appreciate the videos. I love packing cubes and don't know how I did without them in the past. One thing that is often omitted from packing for the weekend type videos by a multitude of channels are outfits for fitness (running, trips to the hotel gym, etc.) This always has enormous impact on my ability to pack a single small carryon. While I understand @HeSpokeStyle might not include fitness on his weekend getaways, I would love to see this topic included the next time, if only a quick mention with a tip or two. Thanks and keep up the great content!

[@hespokestyle]

I've learned from personal experience that packing my workout clothing for short, quick trips is a waste of space. What is always the best of intentions turns into an impractical hope with such a packed schedule. Now, for longer trips, yes, of course, workout gear.

[@DLGemma]

@@hespokestyle So true. I am a professional athlete who really has to work out every single day and you can understand this has grown to be a huge habit so at first I used to pack sport clothes even for a single day trip. Which I never ever used. I am almost obligated to do but I don't workout during short trips. There are so many other things to do.

[@DAMinDC]

Great video as always Brian - would love to see you add links to what you feature.

[@augustinevalentine2804]

Brian, I love your sweater, and you look great with a beard!! Well, you always look great! Haha! God bless!!

[@hespokestyle]

Glad to hear it! 😁

[@rundstycke]

This is a great video format. Great structure. Love it!

[@russellgardener126]

I really like that your camel overcoat goes beyond the knees. So many overcoats these days are either knee length or above knees.

[@hespokestyle]

Glad to hear that! It's funny because a lot of people are getting quite angry over the length of this coat. It's very classic and old school. If what I saw at Pitti is any indication, longer coats are going to be making a comeback. By the way, here's a link to this particular coat (wool cashmere blend) in the shop: hespokestyle.com/product/camel-color-wool-cashmere-blend-overcoat/

The traveling tips are great and well worth keeping and I'm heading to rome in a few weeks time and it's a mixture of city walking and dining out so I'll taking four days worth of clothes and also there's a dress code for the hotel and the Sistine chapel so I'll be dressing accordingly

Is that Rimowa Essential or Hybrid carry on? I can see the monos packing cubes though!

[@rammul7801]

One item that proved absolutely useful when I travel on long distance international flights (moving to live in a new country and taking an entire wardrobe) are vacuum bags for clothes. You fill your clothes, use a vacuum to suck the air out. Literally drops the volume of your clothes to less than %30. Only down side is that it wrinkles your clothes a lot.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the tip. That's why I think packing cubes are a great solution.

[@Theo-ul8qm]

Loved the video and the looks as always! A bit surprised at your choice of a dinner look, I’d go with something a bit less conservative for a nice restaurant. But perfectly elegant nonetheless. Peace!

[@hespokestyle]

You do you

I've seen a lot of ways to pack collared shirts, and this is by far the best and easiest. Thanks!

[@hespokestyle]

Thank you!!

[@andreaitalo6998]

Great video, thanks. You didn't mention perfumes... Essiantial item! I personally have small spray bottles that I fill with perfumes from big bottles to save space and to be able to bring good variety, specially for long trips.

Great beard bro.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks!

[@scottwallace1]

I love that you have a steamer and watch roll…but only two pair underwear. 😊 sometimes after a day out, you want to shower before dinner out. It’s awfully nice to not have to put old underwear on. Just sayin’. Love the channel.

[@hespokestyle]

LOL. Thanks for the feedback.

[@scottwallace1]

Sorry for the stream of consciousness thoughts…I might have opted for a pea coat or even a dressy bomber (though a bomber not as great with suit, obviously, but small enough to fit in the carry on). Both are smaller, can be dressed up or down. A long camel coat looks pretty dressy and doesn’t stow as easily when not wearing.

[@hespokestyle]

A peacoat wouldn't have been dressy enough for the suited look.

Thanks for the great video. Unfortunately for me I am going to be going to Chicago for 2 weeks ( Thanksgiving) so packing for 3 days won't cut it, but I love the way you dress.

[@davorzdralo8000]

Huh, I always heard that you shouldn't fold ties but instead roll them up. That way, you are not bending fabric at 180 degrees anywhere, and honestly it's even easier to transport like that. I'm surprised you use that case, it's both far too bulky for what is packed inside, and it also forces you to fold the tie.

[@JR-ch3ez]

production quality of this is insanely good. Cheers!

[@swissgator6312]

Great looks simple to put together! What would be interesting (to me at least) would to see how Robin dressed compared to which outfit you were wearing. Sometimes I'm not on the same page as my wife when it comes to casual vs. dressy. 😉BTW the train from Balt/DC is the only way to go to NYC. A few years back I decided to drive from DC to NYC. To this day I still scratch my head....what was I thinking! 😂

[@hespokestyle]

Oh, man. When Robin lived in Queens, I drove a couple times. Between someone ramming a shopping cart into my car as I was crossing Manhattan through the Bronx and needing to constantly be worried about what side of the street was going to be cleaned any given morning, I vowed to never do it again.
