As a retired consultant who flew for food for many years, I travel light with just a roll on bag that can be placed in the overhead and am curious how to travel with a kilt other than wearing it. My bag is 20 inches long and my kilt is 24.5 inches tall.

I have seen the carry on bags that can handle a rolled up kilt, but they seem to long for either the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of me and in any case, the airlines only allow one carry on.

I am also looking for shipping options such as a tube that could hold both the rolled up kilt and my sgian dubh which won't be allowed in the passenger compartment in any case.

Best practices?
