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.

[@DavidBenson2]

Brian, let me tell you that this sport coat packing hack just changed my LYFE!!!😂🙌

[@hespokestyle]

Glad to hear it! 😁

[@jproog41]

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

[@Calvinware]

Love this video because of how it shows so much overlap of outfits. Great closing too.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much!

[@DennisxDaring]

That steamer is chic !!

[@hespokestyle]

Sure is! Here's a link: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2200657&u=3150984&m=133791&urllink=steamery.us%2Fproducts%2Fcirrus-no-3-steamer-charcoal%3Fvariant%3D39446123053140&afftrack=

[@hudsonpitts994]

Wow, didn't realize just how useful those packing cubes are!

[@zeiss72]

Packing cubes are the way to go, been using them for years.

[@phillip_reynolds]

Love that smooth jazz in the background Brian!

[@hespokestyle]

Cheers 🎷

[@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.

[@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.

[@Larry-qz3es]

I hope you and the misses have a great weekend here in NYC.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks!

[@Javi_C]

Really appreciate the formula you use when selecting clothing, thanks Brian!

[@hespokestyle]

You got it, Javi! Thanks for the comment.

[@JR-ch3ez]

production quality of this is insanely good. Cheers!

[@hespokestyle]

Not exactly on topic, but totally owning that beard, Sir! Good length, good coverage, well trimmed, and enviable grey distribution.

Thank you!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@gabigolz]

Wow watching you pack those cubes is so satisfying 🤩 love it

[@misha9952]

Great tip!

[@michaelmartin4366]

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.

Great plan for a weekend. I like how you organise it. I follow HSS from 2 years and as you say: dress well and increase your confidence, i well done. Usually I take with me 2 watches, one for travel and casual occasion and another one for cocktails and dinner or job meeting. I will buy these bag accessories.. very helpful. I would like to buy also a cover for my coffe capsule.. I cannot travel with out my Italian coffe 😊

@hespokestyle would you be open to doing a video on how you pack for a longer international trip?

[@LogicalNimbus]

Did you do a duffel bag pack? AND How do you handle repacking with dirty laundry?! Same way?

[@kagezen]

What about your pajamas? What do you wear to sleep?

[@hespokestyle]

A glaring omission! Yes, I usually travel with PJs as well. My favorite pair to travel with are a silk set from Budd Shirtmakers. They're exceptionally comfortable, very lightweight, and take up hardly any space.

[@matthewsherman2002]

I’ve been a HSS binge, and I’ve never been so happy! Started with me looking for my first heavy hitting timepiece and it’s definitely going to be a FOIS now

The packing tips in this are amazing! I have been struggling to find a good way to fold my shirts, I will have to give that a try. Quick question, what is the brand of those packing cubes. They look really great.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the comment. They are by Monos

Great video as always. Love the boxes. Can buy you share the specs for the boxes and the steamer? Thanks

[@densitydad]

Love the tank watches!

[@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.

[@swissgator6312]

Let me start of by giving thanks to you for providing great content. I noticed the you love a 2" cuff for chinos and trousers. I appreciate the look and would like to get your guidance on going about achieving the same look. Are your pants purchase off the rack? Bespoke? Do you have to buy your pants longer in order to have enough fabric to get the cuff. Thanks!

[@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/

[@Theo-ul8qm]

It’s always great to have a video from you, Brian. Really great video! I love the outfit videos, of course, but these are some great practical tip, especially the packing cubes.

Hi Brian. What brand are the packing cubes ?

[@XxLogo]

So if you had to wear a coat with your suit, would you change differently or would you still wear the camel overcoat? I want an Overcoat next FW season, but I am trying to decide on colour. I have a navy suit to wear the odd occasion, so would go with a charcoal overcoat, but I would likely wear it more casually, thus looking into a Dark Camel and trying to decide if that would clash in formality with the odd suit pairing

[@XxLogo]

Also, what brand packing cubes do you use??

[@hespokestyle]

They are from Monos: monos.com/products/packing-cubes?variant=32037068013642

[@hespokestyle]

Did you not see the chalk stripe suit with the camel coat? Camel is always a good choice and very versatile. If you want something for more formal affairs only, I would go with a charcoal greatcoat. Here are both coats offered in the HSS Shop: Wool Cashmere Camel Overcoat: hespokestyle.com/product/camel-color-wool-cashmere-blend-overcoat/ Charcoal Greacoat: hespokestyle.com/product/charcoal-gray-wool-cashmere-greatcoat/
