Stitch Golf

The Ultimate Garment Bag ($328)

Although Stitch Golf is predominately a golf-bag brand, its travel accessories shouldn’t be overlooked. The Ultimate Garment Bag is one of the best 2-in-1 duffles you can buy. I’m a big fan of the Stitch Touring Fabric, which is a super smooth, soft and durable pseudo-leather material.

This bag is super lightweight, durable and water resistant, with enough room for two suits, shoes, and all other travel essentials. It’s worth every penny; this is the business trip or weekend bag. You can get The Ultimate Garment Bag in seven color options, and you can personalize it with your initials.

The dopp kit is spacious enough to be sure you have room for everything needed to look and feel good when traveling. It also has two separate zipped pouches to ensure your items stay organized during travel.

Halfday

The Garment Duffel ($98)

This is the most affordable garment duffel bag on the list; at only $98, this is a popular option. The Halfday brand just gets it — they understand the golf lifestyle. We all love that feeling of shutting our laptops a little early to catch a round of golf while the sun’s still up.
