Mothproof suit bags

Anyone know of a good source for these? I've bought some from a dry cleaner before but they not much heavier than their regular plastic bags. I like to hang my coats, pants, etc. in these for protection from moths, dust, etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Biggrin

I sourced mine from Amazon  and filled them with lavender bags.  It sets up an environment where they don't want to be.

If you are stowing clothing items for sometime such as sweaters, and scarves, etc, but them in a 2 gallon ziplock bag.  Push the air out of them and put them in the freezer for 2 weeks.  It will kill any moth eggs in them.  Then store them sealed until you need them again.

You quite welcome.  I learned the freezer trick from a museum exhibit.  The freezer trick is how they stabilize/de-moth wool rugs.
