I have no issue admitting my "wallet" is usually termed a "manpurse" by others. I just have a lot to carry. However, mine has seen better days and I am in need of another. I would like it to be slim, and carrying 5 or so card, cash, checkbook, receipts, and maaaybe a PDA.

My last one was from EB Cases and not very small.


Any suggestions, besides the usually mockery...

I, typically, shrug when someone calls it a manpurse... most of the time I call it an attaché

LOL. Who buys those things? They are so dorky looking. Besides, if you really filled one of those kilts up they'd be pretty gosh-darned heavy. Time to think about carrying a liiiiiittle less gear, man — that or get a frickin' briefcase, bro!

[Mithras]

My wife is after me to get a manpurse. This is because she's always buying me fashionable jeans & pants with useless tight pockets that can barely hold a set of keys, much less a cellphone. I tolerate the jeans-buying because otherwise I'd be in rags, but... I dunno, not ready for the manpurse.

Hey man, I don't use them; I'd just heard of them. I don't need that much gear either (nor am I that desperate to carry what gear I do carry around).

How 'bout a leather day pack/small back pack. It'd go with anything, 'cept maybe a tux.....

Hehe, I found Millennium!


Seriously though, I have a messenger bag that is often called a Murse by other people... I'm OK with that though, it holds my PowerBook, digital camera, tablet, cables etc. It's great

My cousin has one of those; wears it everyday. He wore it over one year for christmas and I tackeld him for being a dumbass.

A backpack is what I use. Thank goodness I'm still young enough to pull off wearing it.

Fixed.

I can always count on you guys for a chuckle.

The top 10 reasons for wearing a kilt were great
(on the link), kinda doubt however that I could get
my burley old red neck hubby to wear one.

He's mellowing out with age - but I doubt he'll ever
get that comfotable with himself. lol

Edit;
Forgot to add -
IMHO these kilts look better than the young guys with
their underwear sticking 3 inches above their pants
and the crotch of their jeans down to their knees.
.....it just looks like they have no idea how to buy the
right sized clothing.....or have a load in their pants.

Young enough? I didn't know there was an age cut-off for back packs.

Oh, I get it, you're talking about your Blues Clues back pack.

Good Luck to you. Don't lose your milk money.

I wear a manpurse, everywhere I go. I have to,for medical reasons. While I don't enjoy strangers making fun of me when they see me with my shoulder strap, I do enjoy the look on their face when I pull out my diabetes test kit and insulin syringes and say, "you should try having diabetes for a day."

I bought a small, mannish looking bag with a shoulder strap at Brookstone a few years ago. In addition to holding my diabetes stuff, it also holds my iPod, cell phone, some candy (in case of emergency), a pair of sunglasses, and a few pens. Big enough for what I need, small enough to look like something a man would wear. I wear the strap across my shoulder like a messenger bag, so it looks less like an actual purse.

No he's stating that normally people over 27 don't wear a backpack unless they're camping or an idiot

Sorry if you fall into the later category.

Cycling, what about cycling? These social rules can be a real bind. It isn't just cash n' keys anymore is it guys? I just stuff my cash/keys/iPod/phone into my laptop bag. Lots of guys here in the UK carry some sort of bag. I only carry stuff when I have to, which is in the day time. "Wearing" manbags/purses as fashion accessories is obviously hilarious and should be mocked loudly.

There are exceptions to every rule. The mention of camping leaves open the fact that if you have a GOOD reason for carrying the backpack, like you have a lot of stuff needed for a unique situation that does not include, going to work, picking up the kids, or general walking around. Then it's OK.

That said if you're walking down the financial district in your suit and tie and have your backpack you got a Bently hung over your right shoulder, then you should be shot.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I have a messenger bag. It's called a manpurse by a few. I don't care... it's better than a briefcase!

[Randman]

It's funny seeing a manpurse thread next to the thread on same-sex marriage legal in Canada.

I deserved that one. I honestly did.

I was referring to the fact that once you're to a certain age backpacks are no longer professional or practical to carry with you everywhere. I mean you see college and high school kids with them EVERYWHERE. After college, the rate drops quite fast.

Plus I was more of a Spider-man backpack guy.

[chris v]

I do the manly thing and tote a pretty nice brief case. My laptop bag is obviously a laptop bag, and not a purse. Plus, I don't tote the Powerbook every day, and there's no way I could stuff all my crap in it, anyway.
