Unless you are a flight attendant. Then you need 2 26” bags, two totes, a backbag and a purse.

And the Canadian cooler!

I can easily pack 8 days worth in the 22".

So, you can pack 8 changes of uniform clothes in a 22"? Or do you wear a shirt or pants a couple times?

If I remember correctly, when I flew (all 7 day trips) I'd bring 7 uni shirts and about 3 or 4 pants., plus a couple of pair of jeans and street shirts. I can't remember what size my Travel Pro was.

I just packed 6 days in a 22” and it was tight. Includes my shaving kit. Hoodie and jeans took up some room though. No way I could do 8

7 uniform changes...hahahahahahaha

1 uniform for each couple days, a couple t shirts and 1 pair of jeans/shorts is all you need. Then maybe some workout clothes if you plan on that

Lol how do you need that many uniform changes?

Wait, how many days do you wear your uniform shirt?

I always wore a clean shirt. Pants, I wear for a couple, but not shirts.

That's what undershirts are for.

I wore those also, but nah, I like clean shirts.

You forgot the cat carriers for the dozen cats.

2 days per shirt. Wearing undershirts of course

Well I could sweat through a couch, so don't think that's possible. :D

My pilot shirts have permanent yellow sweat stains by the armpits. I’ve worn undershirts and wash them after every trip but no luck.

Maddog or 200 driver?

This is me in the summer time. And no, I'm not a fatty. :D

Not to sound like an ad, but try that Degree
Ultra Clear spray deo. Keeps the stains off the shirts very well.

Go for a run once in awhile and the walk around won't make you sweat like you just ran a marathon

BILLY MAYS HERE FOR OXYCLEAN.

Seriously, soak your shirts in hot water and oxyclean for a few hours. That should remove the pit stains if they're not ridiculously bad. Ideally you should throw a bit of oxyclean in with each wash load and that will keep the shirts white from the start.

Whatever you do, never use bleach - that is a guaranteed way to yellow the entire shirt.

Spray some Shout stain remover to the armpit and collar areas before throwing the shirts into the washer. Works like a charm.

Am I the only one who can wear 1 shirt on a for day trip? Obviously new undershirt everyday. Definitely 1 pair of pants for the whole trip. I guess I don't sweat very much unless I'm doing physical labor.

My cleaner does my shirts for just over $2. Not worth my time for that price.

One shirt for 4 days?

I'll concede that 2 days is not bad, but 4? It's not like you don't have room in your bag for another shirt?

I used to take two shirts for a 4 day trip. 1 shirt seems to work well for a 4 day. A lot easier too. In the summer time I will usually take two shirts for a 4 day, especially when flying that sweat box called the CRJ200.

I also remember from middle school art class, that the brightest whites have hues of blue. Dingy looking whites have hues of yellow. Add some bluing fluid to your wash.
Mrs. Stewart?s Bluing ? WHY bluing for whitening fabric?

That works if your cleaner will fold the shirts so they don't get (too) wrinkled in your suitcase. Otherwise you have to iron them anyway.

I may start doing that again, but I'm going to buy like 20 shirts so my personal schedule doesn't revolve around picking up and dropping off dry cleaning on my days off.

Always keep a pressed shirt in reserve in your closet... sucks to wake up at 0200 realizing that your alarm is going off in an hour and you forgot to pick up your dry cleaning. Also annoys the wife when you start washing shirts at 0200.

Meh. I used to carry a spare shirt for years and never used it. I have plenty of room in my bag but I quit carrying what I don't need. Uniform stays in way better shape not getting packed in my bag.

I don't pack shirts in my bag=problem solved.

We used to call that "Four Day Grey".

I change shirts every two days... and I do 1-2 leg days in plane that has good AC, doesn't drip oil on me, and is tall enough not to grease my shirt on the walk around. If you're not sweating a lot you can touch-up iron your shirt and keep wearing it, but the problem is that the iron will tend to "lock in" any small stains you may have accumulated, especially grease. Once ironed in, even Shout won't get them out.

I do that for collars, never had issues with the pits but I change my tee shirt daily too.

Do they make any decent wrinkle resistant pilot shirts? If not, this stuff works well.

Quality shirts hold a crease beyond 4 days. I'm on the ERJ but I never pulled out the spare in my year on the CRJ either. My shirts still look crisp and clean at the end of a trip.

Yes. Plenty of manufacturers make quality wrinkle-free shirts.

Is that what you wear?

Yes. Filler

My feelings are hurt now.

Hotel irons never touch my shirt anymore. Even ‘clean’ irons have ruined my shirt. Now I only let the shower steam get the wrinkles out. Works great and no hassle.
Also, I wear 2 shirts per 4 day and 1 pair of pants.

Which manufacturers have the best wrinkle free shirts?

You can clean an iron by blowing steam into a towel for a few minutes, so there's that.

That said, the shower steam trick works wonders, but you do have to give it time to work -- I find at least 10 minutes is required.

I travel with a mini steamer. Gets a shirt ready in like 2 minutes, and doesn’t take any room in the suitcase. Same result as a shower steam but much faster.

I’ll stick with the shower steam, thanks.
