<p>MyLB - My H also resisted duffels, he was one of the last people carrying a hard suitcase - but he is a total convert and loves his motherlodes. He has all three sizes but uses the Junior most of the time. He travels internationally for business about every other month and carries suits and dress shirts with him. He folds the shirts in half with the two sides of the back together and stacks them on top of one another then pulls all the arms on top and folds the stack in half with the tails up to the collars. It works great. Your son can also get the cleaners to give him some shirts folded instead of on hangers just before the trip but my H’s system works better for him.</p>
<p>The motherlode duffels are not the lightest or the cheapest but they, or their free replacements, will literally last forever.</p>
