Have not dealt with this company but if you are looking for an original they seem to be it.

I saw their site the other day. I was amused to read the "Our Story" page, where it is confirmed that the store that sold these bags in NYC was indeed called "Chocolate Soup" (so as to prove I am not, in fact, insane and that my memory is still functional). Unfortunately, the bags are now selling for $190. I paid $90 for mine back in the mid 80's (which was a very high price to me, then).

Oh well, I think I'm going to buy one anyway!

I've stowed 99 percent of my briefcases, manbags, whatnot. I, too -- a 41-year-old, cowboy-boot wearin', too-often-swearin', gear-fascinated, happily hetro male -- seem to have a fascination for good luggage and good footware. I also smoke cigars when I have the time.

(Well, doctor, I think it all started when...)

Anyway, I've stowed my other frequent-use bags in favor of a black Wenger thing that's a sort of binder/briefcase/pouch. I was just carryin' too much stuff. This thing stays fairly light and rides and stows nicely. With my Wenger (which the women at work do insist on calling my manbag) my cell phone and a bottle of water, I'm good to go all weekdays and most weekend days.

Now if I could just find the right bag for pheasant hunting. One that would hold/organize my gear and still fit on the truck seat comfortably between two not-small men. Hmm...this Globetrot thing looks pretty promising.

Why do I think this Web site is going to end up keeping my checkbook right on the float line? And what, exactly, are these things called "savings" that I've heard people talk about?

I'm glad she takes the time to point out how non-PC everone on here is. Did she happen to also take the time to point out the information there is to be found here? My guess is no. When the next big event happens and people are unpreparred and looking to us, will their bigger concern be if what comes out of our mouths offends them or if we will share what we have?

Relax, it was a joke....
