Your weapon against a rat’s nest of cords, this handsome pouch has a Velcro strap to keep things nicely coiled.
Trew Weightless NuYarn Shirt ($65)

A folding design and just enough noise isolation make these a must-have on red-eye flights. Bonus: both Bluetooth and a wired cable are included, should you wish to avail yourself of in-flight TV.
Pacsafe Transit Pants ($100)
Sweatpants on a plane? Always. And the trim fit of the Transit doesn’t scream slob. Seven zippered pockets keep travel documents secure.
