Abstract
Abstract A garment carrier is provided which includes a frame and a specifically configured garment bag which extends over the frame, and in which one or more suits may be hung, each on its own hanger. A feature of the garment carrier is a transverse handle portion which extends across the bottom of the frame, to be grasped by the hand of the carrier, so as to enable the frame and garment bag conveniently to be tucked under the arm when it is carried. Therefore, the purpose of the frame is twofold, in that it serves to stiffen and support the garment bag, and in addition it provides a convenient support for the suits carried within the bag, and a convenient handle for carrying the assembly.
