I have never seen anyone pack better than I do, everything arrives ready to wear. Forget tissue paper layers and rolled trousers. I was going to detail my techniques here but I think I'll set up a little business and charge people £375ph + VAT to pop round and do it for them.

Trust me. No matter how you pack, Sudanese customs will rustle and crumple its way through everything on arrival, assuming Kenyan customs haven't already done so. In my experience the baggage handlers at Delhi and HEATHROW are both good rummagers and don't respect the labour of love that went into the case packing!

I've always found that the best way with shirts is to fold them as they 'as bought' so that the front is clean and crisp - that's the part everyone sees after all. The way Fraser does his will leave very unsightly creases from the collar points across the body. I really can't see the point of placing a belt around the case, and I always roll trousers.

I can only agree with C Wood and Andrew - what some people will pay for! Make your money while you can Fraser...

Use materials that don't show creases. Oxford weave buttondowns or seersucker, in the summer, don't show wrinkles. Similarly trousers with a bit of lycra in the weave don't crumple. The other tip is everything in dark colours, a bit boring but a lifesaver when stains are an everpresent risk.

If you can't lift your backpack over your head with one hand, you''re travelling too heavy. The first thing to leave out is your pajamas. The hookers don't object; trust me on this.

Dear me, isn't this all common sense? where are all the other 'killer' tips? trousers flat in the bottom of the case, so they arrived pressed and not crumpled.. socks 'balled' inside shoes to ensure the latter retain their shape [without the need for weighty shoe trees].. jackets with sleeves 'crossed', and folded along seams... I could go on with many, many more - but why should I? - with my knowledge I could start a company, it seems... [astonishing what some people don't know, and what others are prepared to pay for...].

andrew, London,

I learned, in the Royal Air Force, that the best way to pack clothes that are liable to crease, is to roll them up. As the material is not folded back on itself it does not crease.
My wife folds her clothes and then complains, but refuses to use my method for unfathomable reason.

I travel long haul with stops twice a month, makes a minimum of 4/6 packing/unpacking. This white shirt will come out completely crumpled. What about the suits ? I am not convinced.
