Luggage case have included devices for holding garments on hangers. These devices usually consisted of a clamp-like device for holding the hook portion of special hangers together with a ladder-like rack which was laid over the garments in the case. Then the garments were folded over this ladder-like device. Such systems tended to the cumbersome and did not easily permit the use of ordinary closet hangers. The disclosed system includes a buckle and strap arrangement that holds the hook portions of a number of closet type hangers, regardless of style or construction, snugly and compactly near a wall of the luggage case. A simple packing bar comprises a laterally extending rod held by flexible rod supports. The rod supports are detachably pivotably mounted to opposite side walls of the case and have a length which permits adjustable positioning of the rod relative to the bottom wall of the case depending on the number and thickness of the clothing being packed.
