Man-bag required.

So......wallet in my trousers pocket, but then I have a phone, loose change, and a case for my specs or sunglasses, and keys.

Not wearing a jacket in the summer, I have come to the conclusion that it's going to be a problem, and have therefore decided I need a man-bag. And I'm thinking the messenger style with a shoulder strap would do the trick. This year our holiday incorporates a week in Key West, which might be interesting with me carrying one, but I guess I shall have to grin and bear it.

Anyone use one? What d'you reckon, leather or fabric? Black or brown?

What do I reckon?! You're the oldest hipster in town, that's what I reckon.

Jimmy @Octatonic, I believe that I've used that word twice today. Now stop bothering me while I enjoy my craft beer whilst enjoying Kraftwerk.

I must confess I'm heartened to see that the majority of you here have bought a season ticket on the equality bus, because no-one yet called me a big fat poof for wanting a man-bag...

But @chillidoggy, you're not fat.

Far be it from me to suggest a sudden enthusiasm for owing a man bag may be indicative of being 'light on his loafers' - but I think the safest option is something from the Tesco 'bag for life' range.

That way, people will assume that you've just been shopping, rather than jumping to the conclusion that you're a big, fat poof....

There's nothing inherently feminine about carrying your stuff in a bag. Its just stupid cultural stereotyping. If you want to use a bag, use a bag.

Much better. Looks like it might have mouldy sandwiches, a squashed banana, and a hunting knife in it. And an Indiana Jones bullwhip and stolen ancient artefact, of course.

Get an outdoors bag of your choice - i'd have a 25L patagonia if I could afford the asking price.

It should also have sanitary towels for the dripping count that owns it.

I think someone needs to tell Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Hugh Jackman that @Handsome_Chris thinks they're all girls... 

:-S indeed...

Wow. That is a great look.  Does the scooter fit in the bag?

If I flag this will you moderate yourself?

@TimmyO, I'm never about moderation.  Have you learnt nothing about me?   :P
