I use a fanny-pack. I just call it my fanny-pack.

I use my pockets. I just call them my pockets. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just don't call it that in front of anyone from the UK... "Fanny" has a different meaning there.

I had a flash today at lunch. Purse, murse, manback, let's ditch those terms. Let's call it... Drumroll please....

A mussette bag.

I challange anyone to mock one of the key carry-alls issued to those who served in WWII.

Any one else like this idea, or should I just go back to my cold beverage of choice?

I wear a pouch on my belt. I don't call it anything, I just use it !

Anyway, I guess it's the same as with cats : it's no use to give it a name, as it won't come when you call it .... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Pockets rule. If I can't carry something in a pocket, I don't (EDC) carry it. I don't have to take crap from people about what I'm carrying if they don't see me carrying it.

Craig:

How very wise of you - to carry a purse that doesn't match the shoes.... that's a definite faux-pax. The belt should match the shoes, too, if you can.

I sometimes have enough trouble getting the shirt to match the trousers. That's when I ask my wife. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I live here in Baltimore MD it's kind of like a big college town. Anyway in the age group of 14 to 25 men this is a very cool look. Also a shoulder bag is the bag of choice for "bike messengers" So un less you live in the boonies we shoulder bag users are on the cutting edge of style. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Rick carries a 'rock-sack' on his shoulder, like a true intellectual . . . looking cool . . . I carry a wallet, the folded design type, with 2 zips for small change, plus slots for credit cards & everything else . . . one corner chained to my belt strap . . . the convenient & secure way to carry your wallet.
