May 2, 2007 King-sized travel king
“His suits are custom-made by Alfred Dunhill in London with a military-grade lining to handle the stress of a heavy shoulder bag. Inside the jacket are five custom pockets for gear, including cellphone, passport and two travel humidors.”
Dean Burri is a big man and a big traveler. This Fortune story on CNN.com is an interesting look at upscale one-bag travel. I totally sympathize with his need for custom pockets: it is the rare sport coat that properly accomodates a boarding pass. Burri goes one-bag by packing (somewhat) lightly and using hotel laundry. But, if you see this guy in the airport, get out of his way:
“Shadowing Burri in an airport is like following a Porsche around in a Toyota Corolla. Though he’s 6-foot-5 and 340 pounds, he has the agility of a left tackle.”
HOW HE DOESN’T ROLL
Note the reason for his agility - no wheels. Burri uses a shoulder bag. Might I suggest this as the king of carry-on no-wheelers - the Red Oxx Air Boss.
