As millions of men across the world will agree, it’s getting to a point where you really can’t fit any more into your pockets without looking like you’ve got some kind of swollen hip affliction (I’m sure there’s a medical work for it). Once you’ve got your keys, wallet, sunglasses and/or (depending on the weather) hat and gloves, your phone, iPod, car stereo faceplate and travel size Snickers you’re left looking like a bit of an oddball. This is when you know it’s time to get yourself a man bag.
Thankfully the days of man bag ownership being frowned upon are far behind us and the choice is plentiful whether you prefer leading designer brands like Diesel and Burberry or more functional items like Kavu bags. There’s also plenty of styles to choose from such as messenger, backpack, shoulder, etc.
For us geeks that need to transport laptops safely, crumpler laptop bags are top of any wish list and sport names such as “Dreadful Embarassment”, “Luncheon” and “The Horseman”. The beauty of any laptop bag is that they often double up as generic man bags as they often have a number of convenient pockets meant for hardware but equally suitable for a pasty or steak slice.

There is no way men can now carry all they need to in pockets.
A recent survey by More Th>n discovered that eight out of ten men now carry bags. That is why I set up the first webstore in the UK to deal exclusively in a range of men’s bags. See http://blokesbags.co.uk
All the best

My BF bought my a Prada man bag for my birthday. I can fit so much in it.
