That one's nice, definitely one of the manlier man purses I've seen! smile

On a side note, I like the Progressive Insurance commercial, with the guy and his man purse! smile

Nice, but I prefer to wear my bag like a messenger bag (around neck, across torso) to help prevent confusion. cool

I'm a big fan of backpacks - tiny, small, medium or large, depending on conditions and how much you'd like to carry.

I do see the benefits of a "male purse" or a pouch hanging on a belt around the waist. No offense to anyone wearing those, but I'd rather have a small backpack.

In the bush I can wear a waistpack, but those are a drag in urban settings. You have to take them off to sit down on a conventional chair.

Don't be confused by those ugly buttpacks vs. waistpacks! cool

I thank you for sharing. I've never heard of Tumi until now.

My current leather bag is designed exactly like that $275 Tumi bag. My bag was $40 from Wilson's Leather Outlet in Gilroy, California, (408) 842-7488. I bought two (brown and black) for $80. I've been using the black bag everyday since Christmas, and it's only getting better with wear.

Tumi's nylon bag for $195 is way too pricey for a small nylon bag. I'm a little confused. What else does it do besides be a small nylon bag?

Wow, I didn't realize I had so much power over you. The Quote function works fine for you on my end.
