ManBag?!

Man bag =/= messenger bag / satchel.

Get a messenger bag / satchel and enjoy having both arms free while carrying all your required items. And they're not even classed as gay.

Messenger bag is what I meant so apologies for the confusion you homos

Mine:

It's a vintage WWII Mark VII gas mask bag, the strap clearly isn't original but the rest is. It gets used every day.

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

Have you tried contact the person with the name that matches the number instead? Would be cool to find the original owner

In all seriousness, I used to use a nice Pan Am one from Urban Outfitters, but then wanted one with a decent section for my laptop and I wanted leather.

I bought a Fossil one in the end, as I've got a Fossil iPad Case and Wallet and liked the quality of them both. I can't see my bag on the Fossil website right now, but http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs...0001_083010356973_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Men~Bags looks like the thing (the description sounds wrong though ).

The laptop section fits my 15" MacBook Pro fine, and obviously has ample room for my 13" MacBook Air. Main section fits all the textbooks, food & drink for a day at Uni fine.

I don't think men carrying bags is gay.
I do think the term "manbag" is gay.

What kind of man made up such a girly word for it?

godinman · 4 Apr 2011 at 16:35

Women made it up I think, men have been carrying bags of some form for quite some time.

The day I bought a Mac I became a lost cause.

brief case, rucksack or pockets. they are the only options for a man to choose. Any other is gay.

robj20 · 4 Apr 2011 at 16:52

Why is it the in thing to call them "manbags", there satchels.
Im half suprised there not called iBags or something along those lines.

Still gay though, men should use pockets, or a rucksack.

ScarySquirrel · 4 Apr 2011 at 16:59

Man wearing a suit whilst wearing a rucksack = looks stupid

Please tell me you are in fact female, otherwise you are not doing the case any favours.
