Official Neogaf Bag Thread: We all have them

I have an actual purse, and it's from Aldo.

There's only two bags I like on my men, none of which have been posted yet.
 
Recently picked up this Tommy Bahama bag on Woot! for ~$80. Been really happy with it.

At my office, there are two types of male employees:

1) Men who carry satchels/murses/bags.. Whatever you want to call it.
2) Men who wear backpacks.

Guess who reports to who?

To the guy who has his secretary/personal assistant carry his shit for him.

The one who carries a briefcase.
 
Have a messenger bag type thing, but I cannot for the life of me remember what brand or anything it is. I basically only use it for PAX because I'm usually just carrying around a wallet, phone, and keys which all fit in my pockets quite easily.

Quite useful for PAX though.

EDIT: I bet these 'manly men' who think you have to have a vagina to carry a bag are also too cowardly to drink the 'girly' drinks, like anything mixed. Oh no, if you do that someone will call you a fag, whatever will you do!?

Not my photo, but I still use this Timbuk2 bag that Nintendo gave me at their 2004 E3 press conference. Very durable and has a lot of sentimental value.

I have that same Nintendo bag. Still use it a lot.

We all have bags or have bags we want so why not discuss them.

This is the bag I've been using for a while now.

Bag I want to have by the end of next year.

Dream bag right here. /blows a load.

Post your bags or the ones you want to purchase soon.

I don't get why some would blow $1300+ on a bag that ugly and passé. Whenever I see someone with one of those Louis Vuitton Damier bags I just think they're a bit of a retard, to be frank. If you're going to spend stupid amounts on a bag, at least spend it one some unique and amazing, like this one from Rick Owens: http://www.oki-ni.com/Mens-Bags/Rick-Owens-Lambs-Leather-Weekend-Bag/invt/ro0147cha

Your guy still reports to my guy. I win.

But seriously, I look like a giant tool wearing any kind of bag. It's not about being manly or anything - I just look stupid with one on. Like I'm trying to look like a 20-year old hipster and failing as hard as the 40-year old wearing a Twilight tee-shirt because it's cool with the kids.

I've got the Bauer Sack and a Chrome bag I bought last year. The Chrome bag is my main bag for school/projects/rainy days whatever, but I take the bauer sack out if its a nicer warmer day and I'm carrying light. The Chrome bag definitely keeps my back in check :D

Applies to the Chrome bag dude. Lifetime warranty and all that. I've never met anyone who's had to get a bag replaced. Just the one messenger that got into a wreck and his bag got tore up in the accident.

Where did yo get the grey bag from?

They all report to the people who don't carry bags at all in the corporate world I work in.

:lol

Probably cry themselves to sleep. Bags fucking rule and look awesome on men deal with it suckas.

Shut up.

If a bag doesn't look good on you it's probably because you don't look very good.

I'll have you know that I am sexy as hell. Just not while wearing a bag. Much in the same way somebody good looking wouldn't look very good wearing a dress made up of muppet heads.

That's a bad example because kermit heads would make anyone sexy, even if by virtue of its statement against wearing fur!

Anyway, a dress is an article of clothing, while a bag is an accessory. Bad example!

Kanye-shutter shades. But there is only one way to solve this. Check your PMs. BTW, is it "full body nudes," or "fully nude body shots?" I get confused.
 
I carry things is my pockets and in my hands.
Personal things that don't fit are not essential, and therefore are not brought along.

Carrying things specific to work, play, or travel will involve a vehicle, a cart or dolly, and/or boxes or suitcases. These things are manly.

A bag for every day life is a turrible idea. Turrible.

I can carry all of the items in this pic on my person right now.

Crumpler something something, I bought it last September and I think it's awesome. Has room for a lot of stuff, nice laptop department, doesn't hurt the shoulders. It wasn't exactly cheap but I use it everyday, so I think it's worth it. (around 70€ I believe)

Man I want to get a Freitag bag sooooo bad but can't drop the $$ on one right now. Maybe here in the Fall.....

I would *literally* fucking wreck someone's face for one of these bags, but I've resigned myself to making my own knock-off at this point.

Have a gray nylon Eddie Bauer manbag that does they job when I need to haul the laptop around. It was 16$ and doesn't look too effeminate.

Anyone that would spend 1300$ on a bag, male or female, has more money than sense. There is a certain type that likes massively overpaying for things, for a sense of exclusivity that I just don't understand.

I´ll buy one off you! I can´t believe those things are $300+... In the end, though, is it really worth shelling out that much for a Freitag bag when there are other companies in the US that do the same recycled-material bag thing for far cheaper? I need to dig up a magazine that listed like four or five companies situated in the US that do the exact same thing, but for a third of the price.

I got this patagonia bag in black, the strap is like a seatbelt which is kind of comfy. It's my first strappy bag.. not sure I like them but it is markedly more convenient. I see why people use them. It has a lot of nice little pockets that are quite well thought out. The only thing really missing is pen slots. Made from some recycled materials, waterproof and not overpriced.

I love saddleback bags. What if you live pass 100 years? My warranty is better.:D
lifetime warranty for what though, your lifetime or the bag's ;) That's what's always cracked me up about "lifetime" warranties. Put a time on it or it's just useless :P

Yea, as in sewing O_o

Well, part of the reason I'm gonna just sew my own is because I don't really think it's worth multiple hundreds of dollars :lol

Plus I can craft it to the exact proportions I want for my body/items, and have the perfect design! I've been collecting scrap pieces of plastic/tarp for over a year now. Now I make my time...

Depending on how you look at it, LV bags aren't even that exclusive. Most of their catalog is only price-exclusive: the price is the barrier rather than limited production. Grab any handful of women off the street and a couple of them will have LV handbags. They're so prevalent that unless you have a really marquee bag, I don't see what's the allure of showing off LV bags. Everybody has one!

At least LV is better than Burberry or Coach. If you go to Burberry outlet stores, you'll see display racks piled high with dozens of the same "luxury" bags, just thrown haphazardly without any sort of organization. They look so awful and incredibly cheap, just no sense of class at all. When I was younger and couldn't afford any name-brand stuff, big names like Burberry seemed so mystical. My first time seeing a Burberry outlet store completely shattered that thought. Now everytime I go to outlets, I can't resist stopping in to see the pitiful sight. LV and Hermes are at a higher level for sure though.

I'd just like to say, in a world where you've got 300 dollar cell phones, audio players, game doohickeys, bottled water and all sorts of stuff we carry around everyday, it's a definite necessity to have a bag.

I would rather have a compartment big enough to hold my stuff then stuff it all in pockets and walk around like I've got leg elephantitis. I don't want to wear pants that have a hundred pockets either.

A bag serves a very useful purpose and once you go bag, it's hard to go back. People dissing it in this thread are just throwing their dicks around pretending that being practical is in some way not manly or even kinda gay. To them I give a hearty f you. I hope your keys ruin every portable device you own.
 
I never used a murse/manbag/messenger bag until 2007 when I was living in Taiwan. They have loads of cheap stores there that sell this stuff.

I bought a $15USD leather messenger bag and have never looked back. Screw the haters - I can put my netbook, a few novels, a collection of pills/potions/pens etc inside and still have room to put small things that I buy when I'm out and about.

Last time I checked, I didn't have a vagina.
