Man bags - YES or NO??!!

[jcdenton08]

Also because I like my jeans TIGHT putting things in my pockets leaves an unnatural BULGE

 

[The Spanish]

Me too, but the pockets are usually a design feature and aren't really supposed to be used

These are the jeans I have on right now but darker, for example;

The pockets are clearly not meant for a big bulky (Police) wallet

I was watching an old episode of Butterflies on UK Gold the other day, and I am sure Nicholas Lyndhurst and his curly haired brother both had those jeans on.

All I need are: keys, phone, wallet, pen - a good pair of smart strides will fit that lot in no problem

Jeans or cords are all I wear, can't stand "combat" GAP kind of trouserings - totally unfashionable. A chap must look his sharpest at all times.

A laptop bag isn't really a manbag - I always take one when flying - even if I'm not carrying a laptop, your stride pockets can't fit in a passport, boarding pass, paper, book, iPod, bottle of juice and a Mars Bar. Nowt gay about that.

Man bags ffs, the emasculation of the male species is complete. Get a grip lads before it's too late.

Well they're not IDENTICAL. I just picked ones with comedy pockets..

I got mine from Firetrap, and they were £90.00.

 

[looney]

the problem is to be fair, a lot of people lose valuable pocket space when they cut the backside out of their trousers.

What amazes me is that no one in your social circle pulls you up on these bags in real life. Its fair enough to confess on a message board, but what happens when you get down the pub?

Different world.

Manbags are very functional. If you don't want to look like an IT specialist/Accountant (with a laptop) or a tourist (with a rucksack) then a manbag is useful. Why should one care what other people think?

My friends and workmates take the piss out of my British Airways bag, but I am not bothered in the slightest. Who cares what anyone else thinks? I don't want to live my existence in accordance to unwritten rules by repressed individuals.

I don't have the one's that you have to carry. The one I own has a strap, similar to the gola one previously posted.

So, as it stands, the people who are saying YES to a man bag have pointed out their usefulness. Bags are like that.

Most of those saying NO are pretty obsessed about how GAY it apparently makes you look. To them at least.

And the No men are accusing the Yes men of worrying what they look like

Amen. The Gospel. Read this.

MB's can't be gay, as on my way back from Carlisle on Saturday evening, I got on a train from Victoria to Brighton and Chris Eubank got on with a lovely looking Louis Vuitton clutch type affair. Surely he ain't a woolie!?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Yes. An absolute necessity for the classy, professional metrosexual man of the noughties and teenies.

where does that leave you then ?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Sorry, I was getting you mixed up with algie.

Although, surely you couldn't expect me to let your own post pass - the one specifically mentioning ME! Especially when I'm really a borderline blagger.

Here is the Herr Tubthumper collection.

From left to right: The work man bag, the 'everyday' leisure man bag and the man purse.

Nice flooring.
But I think your rug needs more contrast with the walls to bring a little more balance to the room. You could also box that wire in.
