OT-- Any of you guys using a "man purse"?

I'm looking for a manly bag to carry my stuff: sunglasses, cell phone, lunch, whatever. Not too big, not too petite. Any suggestions? Randy Replogle

I use a carry-on type leather bag.

The word "petite" _anywhere_ in the description precludes its being manly ;)

What type of heels will you be wearing? Hannibal Lechter to Agent Starling: "..... such a rube, w/ a good bag and cheap shoes...."

I use my flaped holster for my Luger...lots of looks, respect!

I use one of these

got like 10 of 'em from going to different dealers last year and test riding bikes :)

Eagle Creek has some manly looking stuff (in travel shops), but I use my old decrepit nylon Eddie Bauer daypack. It's too small for a laptop so it won't be targetted.

I kept forgetting the Eagle Creek thing, it was, however, perfect size and features for a small-format notebook, pens, cellphone, passport etc. I still use it when travelling, but it's too easy for the absent-minded like me to leave it hanging from the back of a chair.

Where the Warthog lives.

I use an "Il Bisonte" (Bison leather, very strong) briefcase. It has a shoulder strap.

It's good for papers, large enough for file folders etc. Also glasses, phone etc. Has a couple of small compartments for that sort of stuff. Also has a number of slots for pens. Not very good for lunch, unless you make very thin sandwiches.

I tend to make my own..deer skin, porcupine quill decorations..bone hook and loop.. scalp lock from the mouthy DNC campaign worker that wouldnt take no for an answer...

Wouldn't that smell, G-man? Animal hides can be cleaned up, but a DNC devil would tend to have that residual odor...

HD has some. I use it for a tool bag but it will do lots of things.

Camera bags can be had in all different sizes and with few to many adjustable compartments. Many even have shoulder straps.

phone,

Big pockets and a good belt.

Dude you really showed your stripes with this one. Get a briefcase or better yet a Kenedy toolbox.

I'm cheap so I have one of these that I keep in my truck:

The Klein Tools logo helps with the 'manly' part. :-)

Canvas baggie from a military surplus store. Handy and manly.
