Lucky escape for Molgrips then...
There is no such thing as luck. It was just not meant to be...
I could have some of those bags and people would think it was a hand bag.
You know what they say about men with small bags 😆
The same thing they say about women with sensible shoes? 😆
search for Game bags or cartridge bags.
A nice Hardy one:

Magowan, they say. "Ohh, nice shoes" 😉
Emsz, I was going to say 'Ohh, nice bag; that's what they say to a man with a small bag' but it just makes me sound camper than Millets doesn't it?
evryone needs to release their inner camp 😆
Did Binners & Hora take you up anal Street?
That Hardy Carryall bag's nice, but almost the same price as the discounted Belstaff.
(Walks into thread, somewhat disturbed by title)
Do what? [i]Mayn Bayg[/i]??? 😯
(Walks off, disgusted)
I'm rather taken with this one:

Belstaff 556 shoulder bag. Good enough for Will Smith, good enough for me.
Although his was the brown version.
Just out of interest, why NOT just carry a small backpack?
Cos backpacks are less comfortable than shoulder bags when carried on one shoulder. And I want something pretty small, the size of those musettes I suppose, which means all rucksacks are too big apart from camelbaks, and I'd look a tit carrying a camelbak around.
I only put 'manbag' in the title for a laugh, all I want is a small bag, nothing wrong with that 🙂
a game bag with a keep net front (normally for keeping dead rabbits or fish in) is handy for a waterproof.
£11 for this

Last night, right, I seen a bloke get done on the DLR for not having a ticket. For a £1.70 journey.
He had a [b]Prada[/b] Mayn-Bayg. 😐
What a knob. You can afford a silly little poncy bayg what probbly cost hundreds of pounds, but not a £1.70 ticket?
Mol; you've bin around those poncy Canary Wharf types too long. I'll have to take you to some areas of
Urban Deprivation, for a bit of balance, get you thinking straight again.

Mayn-Bayg ffs.... 🙄
Every day three blokes who work in my office go out to the local shops together to buy lunch.
They all toddle off with their "man bag" over their shoulder.
They're all around 50.
Look pretty daft to be honest.
As far as I'm concerned, no man should ever get involved with using an umbrella (get a proper coat), carrying a "man bag" (you look like a girl) or wearing a scarf (you look like your mum dressed you).

A gentleman may carry a furled up umbrella, ideal for hitting any young ruffians that should accost one. The school scarf is also acceptable. But a "man bag"? No, never.
So what should I carry my book and computer in? A bag that's too big, just to keep you lot happy?
Gosh, aren't some people rather over-the-top sensitive to a bloke carrying a bag? Got any "[i]issues[/i]" you need to discuss chaps?
Maybe a briefcase with handcuff accessory?
Jeeze, you lot, you lov the 1950's don't ya's... get a grip, the lad wants a bag to carry stuff, look good (no doubt), be handy, be able to chuck his phone in etc.
Some of us have moved on from Ugg "thwak" a long time ago.
The Rapha one ticks all them there boxes..

Yes. A proper manly back-pack.
A grown up carrying a "Man Bag" just looks like a school kid with a satchel.
😈

Speak for yourself
*farts, scratches arse, and wanders off picking nose*
why is a back-pack 'manly'?

This season, I'm bustin' the Angelos Epithimiou look:

[i]What's in yer bag, Angelos; tell us what's in yer bag, yer bastard![/i]
I've got a Billingham Hadley Pro Camera Bag...

Surely that's a butch enough solution to carry my handcream/ super new red Moleskine etc.
p.s. I know the purple carpet's vile - I'm at work, so ti's out of my hands...
"scratches arse" here too.. hhahaha
Rucksacks are often too bulky yeah, all that chucking both arms in the straps, hot in the middle of your back, especially if you are wearing a suit where it gathers the shoulders up and gapes the lapels... You'll look like a tramp in 42seconds precisely and stink in 11minuites.
Chuck a “man bag” or satchel (WhatEva) over your shoulder and settle into a sea of calm aloofness.
Phah..
No really, they are really very good.
elfin, I thought you had a little Apple Mac clutch bag?
Could you not just buy a jacket with big enough pockets for all this things you need? Surely if it's just a tiddly little laptop or Kindle you could fit those in a pocket? I've had bottles of wine in my dinner jacket pockets without spoiling the cut of it...
Wear a backpack and you look like a foreign student. Back when I was a kid, it was perfectly acceptable for MEN to have a shoulder bag, usually an old army gasmask bag, to carry their sarnies and flask to work in. My dad had one, probably his original service issue one, although, having been imprisoned by the Japanese in Changi, it may not have been one he was given on enlisting. So, if it was perfectly ok for working-class men to carry their bits-and-bobs around in a square canvas shoulder bag, why does elfin and others feel the need to sneer at blokes doing exactly the same thing?

Don't be a prat. I've got plenty of jackets with lots of pockets, but none that could take a netbook or Pad, and what about during the summer?

Bloody hell, think a lot of yourself, don't you? Who died and made you a fashion expert?
Anyone displaying such blatant pedjudices on a public place should be put in the stocks and have small children point and laugh and throw things, completing their public humiliation. You honestly come across like some of the narrow minded snobs who write for the Daily Mail.
Ever thought about joining the rest of us in the 21st century, instead of living in the latter half of the 19th?
elfin, I thought you had a little Apple Mac clutch bag?
It's not a little clutch bayg, it's a fair size actually.
Oh hang on though maybe it's a matter of perspective and relativity, after all I am myself quite petite.

Actually it could well be absolutely perfect for Mol, thinking about it...
He's not having it. It's mine. 😐
Tatchall satchels are ok if worn across the body. Over one shoulder is never acceptable.

Proper man bag.. it's so manly it's even got a pocket to keep your handgun in!
