Rare KKB Posted January 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) $210 shipped for all 5 pieces with a Black Friday discount. Jacket, top & dress reversible. Some complained about being too heavy but I think it is a nice weight even for warm weather climates. We usually fly SWA domestically so luggage isn't usually an issue; but as we retire & intend to travel more internationally I am striving to find washable, wrinkle free coordinated items to strive to travel with only one bag. Super easy to add other colorful tops & scarves to round it out! https://www.travelsmith.com/ShopCategory.aspx?ID=726,6153 https://www.travelsmith.com/itemdy00.aspx?ID=114,5494&T1=MWR033+BK+S (note: the top & jacket are on backorder...)

Reina del Mar Posted January 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I am forever in search of a way to ‘pack lightly’. I like the items shown above, but can’t really understand how reversible (double layer) clothes are lighter than taking double single layer outfits. Sure I can be proved wrong . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted January 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I thought Travelsmith had gone out of business. They were always too heavy for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie54 Posted January 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It looks like Magellan maybe bought the name and their remaining stock? They definitely went out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted January 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2022 These are only travel clothes by name - if there are no pockets big enough for a phone or a passport its not travel clothes in my book. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mips Posted January 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I am at a loss, I get it for 2 looks, but I usually cruise for 14-21 days. What do you wear when for example the top is being washed? Also being a size 16/18 I couldnt fit all my clothing and other crap in a carry on anyway, but I think a thinner fabric I could roll 3 or 4 tops in the same space. I am interested to be proven wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a zippered pocket, that's a no for me. 2 items one would NOT want to lose. I have had far too many things fall out of side & back pockets on a normal day. Too easy for pickpockets as well. I prefer a pickpocket-safe crossbody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have deep enough pockets for my phone not to fall out of - but they are are rare. Passport is always in a concealed money belt or a zipped concealed pocket - always in the front - never on in the back. A cross body is too visible for me I have travelled the world carry $1000's cash for various reasons - and I've always "worn" my important items. You can't sleep with a bag - but I can definitely sleep with my pockets and concealed money belt (which hangs off a bra srap under my arm - that's the most secure - but doesn't work if you need to use your passport etc during the day.

I am interested to be proven wrong though. I'm a similar size - and I agree - I finally found a properly reversible fabric with different patterns o each side. its a Japanese woven cotton. I made myself a truly reversible top which is just one layer - its very light weight and would dry over night - it will be going cruising when I've finally allowed out of the country! But I've never seen anything like it commercially made - I'm lucky I can sew. But I can totally do carry on only in terms of size - the weight is about 10kg though which is too much for most airlines. What puts me over is my laptop and camera gear not clothes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
