Abstract
Abstract A traveling bag has two stiffened end flaps each stitched along one of its edges to a large rectangular sheet of fabric. Cooperating halves of zippers are stitched to such sheet and to such flaps; and in the process of closing such zippers, a closed bag results with stiff end flaps that prevent sharp creasing of, for example, a man''s suit which may have been previously hung on a hook sewed onto the inner surface of such sheet. A second sheet may overlay the first sheet to provide a pocket for such suit, and also pockets may be stitched on said second sheet to provide storage for other clothing and toilet articles.
