Rapha Musette is tiny.'Small Shoulder Bag'?
Is it wrong to hate the two people in the rapha photo?
Are you overcome by an urge to see a grand piano land on their heads? That'll learn 'em to be too cool to wear helmets. Perhaps its because they [i]are[/i] helmets. Hmmmmmmmmmm
It's always right to hate people in Rapha photos, and indeed most of their marketing 😉
That said, some of their kit is very good - sample sale FTW
Want manly? Why not one of these?

Chrome Minimalist?
The [url= http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/utility-bags/minimalist.html ]Chrome Minimalist[/url] does look ace, though I like the look of their [url= http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/utility-bags/classic-messenger.html ]Classic Messenger[/url].
I saw a decent one at the station for £20.. must not be tempted by Rapha....
Fly fishing bag should do the trick.
I have a musette, (these are not just musettes) from these guy's.
Mines Harris Tweed dont you know!
Large enough for a kindle colouring pens and mibbes a piece and lemon curd.

That musette is about the right size. However I can't see anything in Merak's link, just a load of brightly coloured splodges.
You can buy them here_______________________________________

How about this:

Inspired by a well worn WWII utility bag, the Tilley INTREPID II Bag is equipped with 5 secured pockets, wide and deep enough to hold a 13" laptop, wallet, keys, glasses and much more. Each bag carries a brass plate with a registration number that can be registered with Tilley. In case the bag is ever lost, we'll try and connect the owner with the finder.
Fossil?

Mol, I know the guy that runs Il Soigneur - he arranges seasonal rides from a coffee shop in Brizzle. He is indeed a top bloke. If you're on twitter, you can also catch him there. He's a one-man band - rather than a faceless company - and his musettes are indeed lovely. I'm pretty sure he has his own website too.

Love that dare not speak its name.
Fjallraven vintage shoulder bag is my favourite but I haven't been able to find one in stock yet....
I considered buying a homosatchel once.
A few friends have one but tend to keep them in the closet most of the time.

Dunno about the closet some of those should be way back in Narnia.

Made by Belstaff. Proper classic stuff.
Just out of interest, why NOT just carry a small backpack?
Serious question.
Manbags are just wrong - you might as well just pull around one of those small tartan shopping trolleys and have done with self respect altogether 🙂
TBH derekrides, the fact that you have something negative to say about it is validation enough to carry one.
why NOT just carry a small backpack?
Because mol left school some time ago.
Manbags are just wrong
No they're not. Stop being silly.
Just out of interest, why NOT just carry a small backpack?
I think it's actually less convenient.
Manbags are just wrong
Good enough for Ford Prefect.
Some Harris Tweed Sir.....

Ford Prefect sported an alien bag, not a man bag!
Most of those abominations posted above would be fine for carrying your gas mask, but not much else.
Oi thats my mate in that rapha advert dontchaknow..
Dune (the shoe store) have mensbags in, £40.00 black only, look nice too..

Not unlike Cougar's in style:
I like that.
Particularly, I like the fact that the strap buckle is on the other end of the strap to mine, meaning that (as a left-hander) it'll be in front of me rather than digging into the small of my back.

..it even has 'Man' in the name so it must be for blokes...
Not cheap, though Cougar:
http://www.belstaffjacketsonline.co.uk/belstaff-colonial-collection-medium-man-bag_p74.html
Reduced to £132 from £355.
But it is Belstaff. Would go nicely with my Trialmaster jacket. Hmmm, Chrissy pressy to myself?
TKMAX usually have a selection
I was going to put molgrips down on the forum people I'd like to meet thread.
After this thread, I've changed my mind.
Lucky escape for Molgrips then...
There is no such thing as luck. It was just not meant to be...
I could have some of those bags and people would think it was a hand bag.
You know what they say about men with small bags 😆
The same thing they say about women with sensible shoes? 😆
search for Game bags or cartridge bags.
A nice Hardy one:

Magowan, they say. "Ohh, nice shoes" 😉
Emsz, I was going to say 'Ohh, nice bag; that's what they say to a man with a small bag' but it just makes me sound camper than Millets doesn't it?
evryone needs to release their inner camp 😆
Did Binners & Hora take you up anal Street?
That Hardy Carryall bag's nice, but almost the same price as the discounted Belstaff.
