Hudson Sutler: Our go to duffle bags

By Marla Milling Apr 26, 2016 1:58 PM

If you’re rushing to make the next flight, we’ve discovered a new must have for your trip. It’s a garment bag from Hudson Sutler that’s hardwearing, durable, and fashionable at the same time.

The bags are crafted from 18 oz. canvas that doesn’t flinch no matter what you throw at it. Plus, the hanger hooks and handles are made from heavy weight cotton webbing along with a rust proof zipper normally found on boat covers. This bag was built to last through many new adventures.

There are three collections of garment bags: Hatteras, which comes in a khaki exterior with light blue checked interior; Lowell, which is a handsome shade of gray; and Yorktown (shown in the picture above) with its patriotic color scheme: blue exterior with red piping and red and white checked interior. Retail price: $145.

They fold for easy carrying and fit comfortably in overhead bin storage. Even better, your clothes will arrive wrinkle free and ready for a night on the town.

Forget Wailea: Why The Ritz-Carlton Maui Is the Perfect Escape on the Island’s Quieter Side

During my recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, I discovered that some of the best parts of a Maui vacation don’t require a packed itinerary or even leaving the resort. From meaningful learning experiences about how the land connects to the culture to dining experiences highlighting locally sourced ingredients, this luxury property offers a true escape and a reminder of how important it is to slow down.

As “slow travel” rises as a trend, it’s easy to see how resorts like The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua fit right into a slow travel itinerary. Though you may hear more about vibrant resorts in busy tourist hotspots, here’s why an escape at this resort on the island’s quieter side might be in store.

Why Hyatt Regency Lost Pines belongs on your Austin itinerary

Austin has a way of filling every hour. Breakfast tacos lead to a brewery, which leads to Sixth Street, which leads to you wondering at 1 a.m. why your feet hurt. So when my best friend and I planned a quick getaway, we did things a little backward: we started with two nights of doing gloriously little at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa, then headed into the city.

Best decision of the trip.

Dale Brisby ate my steak: Ranching like a Modern Cowboy

Ranching is a whole lifestyle with its own culture, fashion, and quirks, and it’s the kind of life that’s hard to acclimate to if you haven’t grown up with it. That said, the modern cowboy is incredibly fascinating to me, and it was a real treat to meet the greatest cowboy in the world himself, Dale Brisby, to pick his brain on what life is like on the ranch.

Representatives from Can-Am invited us all out to dinner, and I was immediately struck by how authentic Dale Brisby was. He shared so much about ranch life and rodeo that it felt like drinking from a firehose. Learning from him brought me up to speed, just in time for the PBR Rattler Days event.
