Packing Essentials as Told By a Traveling CEO
 |
Aaron Sanandres is not only UNTUCKit’s CEO, co-founder, resident foreign language nerd and team cheerleader—but he also commutes weekly from his home in Chicago to our NYC HQ. We figured there is no better man to ask about his travel essentials.

 1. "The engineering that goes into UNTUCKit’s wrinkle free shirts is pretty incredible. Wash after wash, trip after trip, I am impressed at what the team has accomplished. The Saldini is great because it is a casual take on a business shirt and I find daily reasons to turn to this staple."
|
2. "When it is time to head home, I am excited to see my kids and wife, but need to recharge on the plane and maybe get a little nap in so I can give them my best. The Patrimo is straight-up the softest effing sweatshirt around. Cozy and perfect 'pajamas' for the often-often chilly flight."
|
3. "UNTUCKit has henley options from garment dyed to duo-knit. We actually make 6 unique henleys at this point—but I still turn to the classic waffle knit, Vouvray. Soft, but structured, it is a must-pack item for layering or wearing on its own with good dark jeans."
|
4. "Flannel is packable and versatile but it is tough to get away with a distinct plaid on repeat when it is your go to “throw on over a tee shirt” on a chilly night option. The Fuigini is a solid, woven 100% cotton option that is handsome, soft and its brushed finish means that it wears extremely well."
|
5. "UNTUCKit’s new shoes were built with the same mission as our shirts, to redefine casual. The team extended the tongue of a traditional sneaker—much like that of a loafer—making the Drake a wear to the office, wear to happy hour, or wear on the weekend shoe. The Drakes and a pair of gym shoes in my carry-on and I am good for the trip."
|
6. "Traveling so much, creating a gym uniform takes the thought out of what to pack. My uniform also can’t take up too much space in my luggage. The Clarendon is super-packable, quick-drying shirt and a generous dose of stretch. No other way to say it than THE perfect performance shirt to have on-hand.”
|
7. "Embarrassing but true, clothes can start to smell a little stale when packed in a suitcase with your gym shoes. The guys at Way of Will use natural oils to create functional products. Their Clothing Refresh Spray does just what it claims and I am happy to share the good word"

8. "A sturdy, good-looking bag at a relatively reasonable price is a tall order. I have found all of those things in AWAY luggage, and the guarantee for life… yes."
