You all need to know, I'm pretty old school when it comes to my men. (And when I say "my men," I really mean the one man I own and all the other men I secretly covet.) I like them big. I like them big and manly. I like them big, manly and self-assured. I like them big, manly, self-assured and not carrying purses. Sorry to any hipsters out there: I just can't dig a murse.
Oh, I know, I know: messenger bags are a necessity for dudes walking/riding to work, going to class, hanging out on Church St. and going to the local coffee hut. And men do need something to carry their laptops and lunches in - something beyond the backpack with Sharpee graffiti all over it. But I don't think any self-respecting guy should be swayed by Bluefly.com text urging them to carry a: "snazzy travel tote, rock a "busy" messenger bag or kill them with a crayola colored briefcase." It's obvious a woman wrote this text. No self-respecting dude - gay or straight - would write such copy.
A man can never go wrong with a leather brief case. Comme ca. This Levinger Cambridge Briefbag with laptop sleeve is a Mad Men-worthy bag. Levinger isn't even paying me for this. For any guy heading out to his first job, looking to upgrade, or hoping to get the kind of woman who likes a manly-man: avoid the snazzy travel tote. Go old school: get a high-quality leather briefcase and use it for 40 years. Or until your woman tell you to get a new one.
