I used to travel regularly every week. Only 80 kms by car. Worked at a winery. Lived at my city house. My parents farm an0nd vineyard only 15 one away from work. Usually lived there during the week and the city on weekends. Wrong way around. One should be in the country on weekends.

Doing all that travel lugging luggage around was a pain in the arse. My mania for carrying excessive stuff around probably came from back then.

But I desired an old style travelling trunk from those days. Polished shoes, suits, dress shirts, jackets, dinner suit, casual clothes, cufflinks, tie bars, silk ties, all or some could be carried in a steamer travelling trunk. In reality not all of that but some.

I even wondered if I could make one? Modern plastic trunks don't work.

I DO have a lovely navy blue steamer travelling trunk now. In good usuable condition.

BUT it is TOO BIG!!! It won't fit in a cars boot, or back seat. Not even into my Landcruiser. Not the rear seat. It might in the rear section but I have a cargo barrier, divdervab0nd shelf in mine. Fits an engel and jerry can on a side. Similar on the other. But no steamer trunk!

Only the roof rack. They are heavy! And not waterproof. Also not wheels on the bottom. Designed for the blackamatics trolley or handcart.

Mine has travelled at the very least from Copenhagen to Lima, Peru.

Will takes some photos one day.

They should be very useful.

Maybe one day I will have a Landcruiser Troopie and it can be my permanent travelling wardrobe. After all even in the bush has dressing for dinner completely died out?!
