Whats gaf's opinion on man bags?

I use mine occasionally, similar to this one

Even my boy david has one

StalkerUKCG · Jan 4, 2014

Fuck no, GF recently asked if I wanted one.

I don't. Handbags drive me insane with the shit girls stash in them. Why would I want that.

If i'm carrying more than my phone and my wallet I should have just stayed at home.

I generally have a bag or backpack either with me or in my car

akira28 · Jan 4, 2014

Only man bag I carry has two gigantic man marbles in it. And also a laptop and a Nintendo DSLite.

Community Forum · Jan 4, 2014

I don't even know what I would put in one.

Samara · Jan 4, 2014

As long as it made or looks like leather, I'm a-ok.

I have about 7 or 8 bags.

I showed that particular bag as it is probs the most controversial one I own.

BocoDragon · Jan 4, 2014

I just wear a backpack like an oversized schoolboy.

What I was going to say. Needs to look a little more rugged.

Nibel · Jan 4, 2014

I'm not sure how to fill that bag

All I need is my smartphone and my wallet - I can see people who need to take their medicine or something like that having a bag, but otherwise? Pardon if this sounds too ignorant :lol

The Albatross · Jan 4, 2014

Generally hate bags. I use a sleeve for my laptop. Only bags I have are luggage and my gym bag or a beer bag.

I think most women I know love bags, but lose everything they own because they've got 3 or 4 active bags. I can't live like that.

WhereAreMahDragonz · Jan 4, 2014

Man bags? They're called satchels.

Yes, I have a murse like the second picture. I've been using one since secondary school, it's the manliest of manly bags.

That's pretty cool

I fill mine with plenty: tablet, cameras, lenses, SD cards, batteries, 3DS, lunch, random accessories, papers. Macbook Air, hard drive, and more cables when I'm traveling. It's a hell of a useful thing to have. Plus, living in NYC, it's basically the trunk of the car I don't own.

Just ordered a new Billingham to replace my current messenger that's getting a bit ratty.

ReturnOfTheRAT · Jan 4, 2014

I don't carry enough things on me to warrant a satchel or messenger bag or something comparable. Laptop sleeves and sleek carrying cases are much preferred

PaperFlame · Jan 4, 2014

If it's something like this

ZiZ · Jan 4, 2014

I just use my laptop bag.

oconnomiyaki · Jan 4, 2014

I have a canvas messenger bag and a leather satchel. The satchel is for more formal occasions. My mum got it for me probably thinking I was going to get into a suit-and-tie job. The canvas one is what I usually rock. Don't leave home without it.

What gets on my tits, though, is that on planes, girls' bags count for free but mine is considered hand luggage. Bullshit, I tell you!

That's a nice purse

Kenai · Jan 4, 2014

I like them when I'm going to a convention and I'm in cosplay sometimes since they are easier than a backpack to carry and access stuff in while wearing one. Otherwise it depends on how much stuff I'm carrying around but usually no.

EviLore · Jan 4, 2014

I use a 13" waxed canvas Muzetto Outback these days. Enough for 13" macbook air, camera, kindle, and odds and ends. Pretty rugged and lightweight.

Aye, cool purse bro.

overcast · Jan 4, 2014

I don't need one on a normal day. Absolutely no problem if somebody uses it, they look great a lot of the time.

Love my messenger bag that I use for school.

No no no, that's a murse, big difference. Like the night and day. Good and evil.

Azzurri · Jan 4, 2014

I have a messenger bag, but it's only used to carry my laptop.

Man, I honestly don't like sleeves other than for protection. I need both hands free at all times.

IISANDERII · Jan 4, 2014

Satchel?

NameGenerated · Jan 4, 2014

It's European!

reggieandTFE · Jan 4, 2014

Filson original briefcase in otter green.

Just classy enough for work, rugged enough for day to day use.

Alcander · Jan 4, 2014

I use this one from Frank and Oak

Really not a fan of the smaller satchels that look more akin to a purse, though.

captmorgan · Jan 4, 2014

I have honestly never needed to carry so much stuff that I needed a separate bag. What are you guys doing that requires you to carry so much shit?

casabolg · Jan 4, 2014

I'm seeing an increase in the use of the word "satchel" between both men and women.

DietRob · Jan 4, 2014

I question why I would need to take enough stuff with me to warrant needing a man purse to carry it around. All I ever end up having with me when I leave the house is cellphone, wallet, and keys.

I guess I can sorta understand if you are packing a laptop to and from work but it's kinda stretching it.

Vilam · Jan 4, 2014

I'd be ok with them if the guys would admit they're carrying a purse. But they won't, so I'm not.

Jeels · Jan 4, 2014

I don't like carrying around that many things, I feel uncomfortable carrying bags and I'm likely to lose/forget it. It's annoying to have that much on you at all times. (I usually only ever need my wallet and phone, keys, maybe a pen, and sometimes a gaming handheld).

I also don't think I could pull something like that off either.

I think once I start working they will give me a backpack for my work laptop and anything of that sort. That's really all I need atm.

SolVanderlyn · Jan 4, 2014

All about briefcases. Man bags are for hipsters.

I don't understand this complaint.

If I search purse on google I get.

For work I use a backpack, it's just easier when you have loads of stuff!

I mainly use a bag when socialising or shopping.

rexor0717 · Jan 4, 2014

Anyone have some stylish backpack recommendations?

BGBW · Jan 4, 2014

Back in2006? I questioned why have men never copied the handbag because clearly it is a practical item. Then I went hunting to see if I could find a men's handbag. I had no luck so I literally had to buy the most unisex looking handbag from the ladies department. Then in 2007 they suddenly started popping up in stores. Typical. I am talking a small bag here, not a laptop sized shoulder bag.

It's good for the summer when you lack pockets from not wearing a coat or jacket.

I don't care if people think it's funny to carry. It is 100% practical.

Mindwipe · Jan 4, 2014

I have a black leather one I take everywhere. It has my Nexus 7 in it, some spare contact lenses, sunglasses, gloves and an umbrella, because I live in England.

You would have to tell us more about where you would be using it.

radios shipping overview · Jan 4, 2014

If you've got stuff to carry, you might as well make it look good.
