The man purse

[Single Wedge]

Do you have one? Secretly want one? Disguise it as a gym bag or backpack?

Come out and join the rest of us that embrace the man purse.

DISCLAIMER: Make sure that it is NOT a real purse or hip/fannypack.

I carry a Timbuk large messenger bag. Why? Well it large and guys we like big things. I have two kids. It carries all their stuff, mine and my wife's. Also it is great for work as I can take my running gear, lunch and books while still being comfortable. It is waterproof and hard to pickpocket. Durable as leather chaps and custom colored.

Use a manly backpack/briefcase, etc if you need to carry stuff. Purses are for girls. :D

No murses. Ever ever ever. No fanny packs either. Not even the new-age 100$ ones. Its still a fanny pack. You could use a messanger bag and be okay. Heck, I'd say its your best bet. If you want a messanger bag and still want to look good, I'd suggest a nice leather one. Just because you've got an 8 month old throwing up on one arm, doesnt mean you cant have a sweet bag on the other.

Only bag I carry is a camera bag....with camera gear in it when I go out picture takin' :D

Laptop case and files for work. Period. If I wanted to carry a purse, I'd have that operation. :rolleyes:

TV seinfeld = man purse. REAL seinfeld = Gucci messanger bag in his carrera GT.

[PalmettoB]

No man bag here...just a rather lawyerly looking briefcase and occasionally the laptop case.

I walk to and from work and I carry my lunch, folding umbrella and a few other odds and ends in a black canvas tote bag. Hey, I’m 53, if anyone thinks I look less than manly carrying a tote bag, I don't care – it’s practical and convenient and that’s all that matters to me.

[GeNn]

these look nice. I may just give myself an early christmas present. :D

I prefer my Satchel, or I have an old camera bag I use as well, or a sporran depending on my attire. It doesn't offend me if anyone confuses any of them for a man purse.

[moviemaniac]

leather wallet and leather briefcase for me.

My jeans have pockets
They're all I need
Sometimes I get funny looks though
Carrying all those jeans around

[Mr. Tadashi]

My previous comment was deleted, so I'll be more diplomatic....if it doesn't fit in my pocket, I don't carry it.

:thanks

You can fit your gym clothes in your pocket? :eek::happy102

What is this.. gym that you speak of? ;)

I used to carry an old world gentlemen's wallet. The one where the bills were not folded and such. I loved that wallet.. in fact I might go back to it one day. Just never had enough room for all the silly plastic cards I needed to carry around at the time.

No, ever since I graduated from Grade School, I no longer have PE Class. :happy102

[NoobShaver]

I have one of these "murses." It's called a diaper bag. I figure the baby that goes with it is plenty proof of my masculinity.

Seriously... Wallet and keys in pocket. Everything else in the briefcase.

[Duckster]

When I used to take the train to work I'd carry a Targus laptop bag (with no laptop in it) to carry stuff in. Way cooler looking than a "murse".

[freemartin]

Sporran aye! Doesn''t happen to be badger does it?:cool:

Uh, no, pretty cheap leather.

I was tempted to buy a sporran type bag with a tortoise shell base at the ren fest I went to a couple of weeks ago. That would certainly protect the jumblies.

A wallet and my work truck is all I need to carry what I need so I don't need a purse, But my "man bag" is a sight to behold indeed! It is the envy of all men everywhere!;):D

Man Bag +1 I like that better than the "murse". Lets use "Mag" for man bag. It sounds more masculine with just enough hair poking out from under the shirt.:D

Heh heh, not sure what you're soliciting there, goatshaver, but I'll assume for your sake that it isn't the envy of goats too
