Default Where do you store your suit while driving?

Sorry for the stupid question in advance. I have a 2014 C2S.
Winter is coming!!!! for the GOT fans out there.

I need to take my nice suit with me on a road trip.
I am wondering where to store it without creasing or crumpling it...
The hooks on the back of the seats are too low (the suit touches the floor).
The side hooks on the inside trim don't work because of their awkward location...
The frunk is too shallow. Any custom solution?
Has anyone figured this out?

If you keep in the rear trunk, the wrinkles come out nicely.

Yes, the water cooled cars add a nice steam element.

OP: The 911 is my fun car so I've not had to take a suit in it at all. I do, however, pick up the dry cleaning with it. In that case, I simply fold the whole lot in half and put it in the frunk. Granted it's not in there long, but it doesn't wrinkle at all. I suspect that you could do the same with a full garment bag.

Or just do on the parcel shelf when folding the seats.

Install a roll-bar, and then just hang them up?

How about something like this - https://www.autosportcatalog.com/cat...RoCJLsQAvD_BwE

No experience with a product like that, but it looks like should work.

Suit in the 911, LOL!! It's shorts and a t-shirt only for me as it's my weekend and occasional weekday stress release drive. I have driven it to work, but we are business casual, yes a jacket would present issues, I hate wrinkles!

When I am traveling, I always wrap my suit in the plastic from the dry cleaners, then put it in the garment bag. For some reason, it doesn't wrinkle much when it's in the plastic. Also, I take a Rowenta travel iron that can steam vertically. I steam my suits when unpacking. Hotel irons usually don't work well.

If you buy one of these, you must pack it in the middle of your bag as it does have a plastic handle that flips up for use. I have traveled all over the world with this one and never had an issue.

I have the same in my Tumi.

Hotel room bathroom > Shower on full hot > Steam > light iron for crispness.
