ok, so every weekend, on at least three occasions, my wallet will go missing and I’ll have to ask the missus where it is, the inevitable answer is “in my bag”

I can stand having shedloads of stuff in pockets and i want to get a bag which doesn’t look
a) like a girls one.. cos I’m a real man.. grr
b) doesn’t look like a sports rucksack

probably a really homo type question, but I bet at least one of you out there has an idea or suggestion.. and for the rest of you, feel free to laugh, I’m bored and need entertaining! 🙂

homo?

sapien…

probably a really homo type question

Shaky start!

Go to Paris, every man and his dog has some kind of bag/satchel.

question?

a girl’s one?

You’re missing the root cause of you losing your wallet…you wife is putting it in her bag.

I can stand having shedloads of stuff in pockets and i want to get a bag which doesn’t look:

a) like a girls one.. cos I’m a real man.. grr
b) doesn’t look like a sports rucksack

So why you want a bag if you don’t mind stuff in your pockets?

Edit: oops, I never added the usual useful Singletrack response…….you big woman!! 🙄

Ask flashfart. He was asking about manbags the other day, in the guise of some bollocks about a laptop and change of clothes carrying accessory.

satchel.

although I normally use a rucksack if I expect to be carrying any amount of stuff or shopping.

this particular one is £35 from Fat Face

fanny pack

I would definitely opt for the Goa Hippy look in your situation..

Wallet: back pocket
Phone: front left
Keys, loose change: front right

Works for jeans, trousers and shorts!

And as mchamish said: tell your wife to stop putting your wallet in her bag!

Er, is this where I mention that i have a couple and find them very useful, work out what you want to carry it in and to be honest i have a canvas and leather one which gets used all the time, looks more like a modern satchel/small smart courier bag, by Duffer of St George, have had it for a few years so probably doesnt help.

Wallet, phone, keys. What else do you need to carry?

I have a really nice brown leather one I got from White Stuff. Looks proper cool. Haven’t used it lately but will be resurrecting it for my iPad. 🙂

well a bag is easy isn’t it?

and to be honest, I lose stuff, so having something bigger would be harder to lose

Hmm, sounds like you are best off having a responsible adult looking after your wallet then. Just let the wife keep hold of it.

cheers all

I’m starting to garner support, I can tell..

good point though, I’ll have a word with mrs bedds..

oi.. mrs bedds.. NO!!

I’m starting to garner support, I can tell..

Once the tide turns 😉

You need to be Italian to carry a man bag! Even their cops do it

what you actually need is one of these bad boys…

cheers headfirst.. stylish, practical and sure to mean I never forget stuff again 😉

The only manbag I would have is my bawbag anything else is gay.

I would suggest for longevity Timbuk2 their stuff is ace otherwise fat face, gap or white stuff are worth a look

Can I nudge you in the direction of a mate’s website?

http://www.blokesbags.co.uk/index.html

do you star on the site higgo?

I have one, very useful for carrying a lock, waterproof, fleece, minipump, tyre levers, multitool, book and a magazine when I ride my bike to the pub.

looks a bit like this one…

Also handy for travelling, can stick a camera, water bottle, snacks, passport, flight itinerary etc and anything else I want to hand in it.

Kev

Not too bad..

Carry less crap

Take responsibility for your own crap

You are over 12 years old aren’t you?

I really can’t be doing with stuff in me pockets all the while. It’s like when I’m on me bike. If I have coins in my shorts the constant ‘chink-chink-chink-arrghbastudlog-chink-chink-oolookasquirrel!’ gets on me tits.

So I have a manbag. From John Lewis, which while being the gayest department store in the UK, if not the world, makes decidedly hettie manbags. Less ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’, more ‘My Name Is Norman and I’m a Chartered Accountant’ type. Still, it does and it even allows me to tell people I’m ‘straight acting’. 😛

i have a few most of the time ilug around my 25ltr bag filled with nappys/clothes/coats ect but put all pocket bits in it aswll but when on my own i use something about this size

I just got one of these for a tenner. Won’t suit everyone but is handy for taking stuff to work for the day and whatnot.

I pretty much always carry this with me:

Do Homo`s all have man bags or is that just stereo typing, i also note your opening question states you have a wife, and that youre a real man, why do you really feel the need to masculinise your sexuality while deeming someone elses.

Get a satchel.

🙂

more for amusement value than anything else project.

I’m a bag freak to be honest.. and want something else.. quite liking the look of the visconti’s
