That is so Gay ;D

The only way that would be not gay is if i dragged it behind my jeep on 3 Off roading sessions. Then it'd look cool as **** :cool:

You could just leave it on your drive for a month & drive on & off it every day i s'pose.
I have this Mulberry rucksack, it is one of the very few things i have left over from my other life, It's Truly Awesome & the older it gets the better it gets, I must have had it 20 years now & can still take it Anywhere :cool:

I think it's quite cool, but I get frustrated with bags and prefer rucksacks so I can put them over both shoulders.

I'm pretty much the same, I must have slopey shoulders (that's what my boss says, anyway :D) as shoulder bags always slide off so I prefer a small rucksack.

About 10 years I think. They were called record bags in the 90s :)

And are record shaped... unlike the above, which you could quite clearly not fit a 12 inch in...

Yeah I was saying on IRC how in the 60's photojournalists used manbags to carry lenses. Non of this modern day sissy foam padded backpack nonsense :) Quick access to lenses.

People are getting confused

These are satchels/messenger bags which are perfectly unisex

Manbags are the mincy little short strapped ones which go right in your armpit like a handbag!

omg, that one actually says man bag on it... that's all wrong, people are spreading the definition of man bag so much that soon we just won't be allowed to carry anything at all without people thinking we're one of them gayers :(

it looks so much better than misshapen pockets

That's why I need a bag. Being a smoker and a technophile, I carry a lot of stuff when I go anywhere which requires the wearing of apparel with numerous large pockets for holding the likes of baccy pouch & lighter, mobile phone, camera, iPod, keys, loose change, hankie, lip balm, wallet and occasionally, TomTom (when I'm somewhere I don't know my way around). If I'm wearing a woolly hat (only in winter), that has to come off when inside and needs to be stored somewhere too.

It's not too bad in the winter when wearing a jacket or a fleece as these have pockets which takes the strain off the trouser pockets but in the summertime when it's too warm to wear these, I have to wear combats which limits my wardrobe and tends to look silly with bulging pockets on the sides of my legs :(

I quite like the idea of that gas mask bag Feek, I may look into something like that when I get back.

a bigger bag like Indy's or Pete's or the gas mask bag which is more like Indy's are cool, but the trend for small hand-bag esque bags or men is Very peculiar. I still prefer rucksacks, but I actually used to love doing exercises with big 2-3st burgens - now THAT'S a real man bag ;) ok carrying a rifle helped probably :p

each to their own, I might try a gas mask type bag at some point, jack bauer had one afterall, but it has to be made in a manly material none of these silly girly fabrics.

that isn't a man bag - it's a girl clutchbag surely?!

I have a man bag - pens, magazine, ipod, paper, laptop, deodorant, ibuprofen, hard drive, book, DS, hat, scarf, iPod cable. I actually have quite an unhealthy obsession with bags. I think Charlotte buys bags for the sake of it, just to be more girly than me

btw, my bag is "breaking in" nicely, the leather is getting a nice shine after 3 weeks of constant use now.

I think we need an Indiana Jones themed meet - I've got the bag, the hat, the leather jacket - All I need is a whip and a gun, and I've got the gun, so that just leaves the whip.

I could be Indy after he's gone to seed for a few years :)

How's your bag doing, Belmit? I'm using mine to work now and I'm coping well with the ridicule ;D

(in all seriousness, the bag rocks!)

Belmit

Doing fine! Very handy for taking my lunch to work in, and my gentleman's brolly fits in it perfectly. Rarely go anywhere without it now!

The whip can be arranged - I'll ask the other half for her 10ft bullwhip. ;)

It's nice and supple through useage. :shocked:

Mondo where'd you buy your man bag? I managed to procure the sacred Sankara stones of Kali (sniped 'em on eBay) but I can't carry them around in a Tesco bag, looks all wrong! Need to get myself a proper carrying vessel.

The bag is wearing in very well. The leather started to have that worn look to it and its getting more manly by the day :D

Major bumpage.

I still use my bag every day, the strap has lost that shiny new effect it had before and it's all nicely worn in now. The bag is just as it was, old and cool :D

I would love to try and trace the original owner, the number brings up a name in the 11th Canadian Mounted Rifles but the name doesn't match the one on the bag. The Mk VII bags were often issued to Canadian troops so that makes sense. Shame the name doesn't match the number though :(

We have a Jim MacPherson who runs our Scotland office, would be a bit of a coincidence though! Pretty sure its Mac not Mc.
