I feel funny walking around with a $450 briefcase when I'm at the bottom of the ladder.

Coach? Ha, she could've gotten you at LEAST a Fendi, if not something by McQueen or St. Laurent. Versace would've even been acceptable. It makes total sense that you don't carry your Coach around...

;) :beer:

I have a coach wallet and a coach bottle opener. Wallet is going on 7 years now and just keeps looking better and the bottle openr doubles as a throat slasher (on my keys and is very well made). :)

I had a KC bag years ago. The piping wore out after a coupla years and was fixed for free by a KC store in NYC. They used to have a lifetime weraout replacement warranty. Dont think they have that anymore.

My wallet and keychain are both Coach. They stay in my pocket and they're not flashy.

I have one similar to this for work and the older Folee for my laptop

been using mine for the last 5 months commuting to manhattan from jersey city. excellent product.

if you want to bring a laptop too, that wont work. i just ordered a tom bihn super ego with a brain cell for my cross country flights. but for local, a regular tom bihn ego is probably enough.

THIS. I have a Jumbo versipack. I use mine hiking mainly. I don't carry that much stuff around, though I do keep it in my car because I keep a first aid kit in it. It's also handy for CCW. Has a pocket just for your favorite handgun.

If a man has a bag between his legs, he doesn't need one over his shoulder.

some "one-post wonder" spammer posted a link to their "highest qualities" products.


I really think MOST of these odd-ball necros are search-engine powered 'bots not humans at all. Be interesting to see wth "they" were searching for to come up with this one!

:rolleyes:

Old thread but let me tell you, man bags have really come along in the interim. As someone who is often in an urban environment, it's great to be able to carry around a sunglasses case, battery pack, bluetooth earbuds case, a mask, mints, eye drops, spare contacts, keys, and then even throw in a rain jacket or umbrella when needed.

Current favorite - Code of Bell X-Pod

For a less techie feel, Heimplanet transit sling or Trakke Banana sling if you like the waxed canvas can almost be dressed up look.

For a larger man-bag sling with external attachment points, the 1733 Sidepack.
