New bag for work
 

Etsy comes up trumps again. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif

Guatemalan leather, fully lined. Not cheap, but half the price of anything you can buy in the stores here, and substantially better quality.

Going to be very upset when its raining, - don't want to ruin the leather! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/wacko1.gif[rofl]

yeah... not a fan of the man purse http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

You say man purse, I say messenger bag. [yes]

I´m not a manbag kinda guy, but you gotta love good craftsmanship
btw, get yourself a decent impregnating spray and you´ll be fine http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

Hmmmmm it's a bit flash for putting ones sandwiches and flask of tea in.

Manbag.

manpurse lolz.

I use a liquor store bag. They are durable and without holes so you can puke into them if need be. :)

It's nice, but a bit old manish for me.

All you need now is an Indiana Jones hat and a whip.

I bit more your style I fear....

Chris, it's fine apart from the gold plated fittings - chrome or preferably stainless steel bould be more masculine - better yet, titanium...

This is what I use for college and work

Only been a messenger bag user for about 6 months, used ruck sacks all my life before that (even during the "record bag" trend back in the mid 80's at school)

I don't think I could use what Chris has though, I prefer easier open straps/latches. Also the compartments look a bit small but its only a picture so it might be bigger than it looks, otherwise it does look like quality make.

The metal is actually silver colour, it's just the lighting.

I have one of these. It's waterproof, which is all that matters to me.

Lazerbase, please try really really hard not to make some asinine comment about what is actually a perfectly normal laptop receptacle.

I actually have a laptop bag from the same make (basically what my new bag replaced). Will still use it when I cycle to work in crappy weather I think.
