Members o.versteer Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'd definitely rock one of those for my cables, spare strings, and other gig gubbins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm glad it's not an official Fender product because if Fender endorsed something that dorky, I'd be embarrassed for them. Also, if you DO use a man bag (or "messenger bag" or "tote" or whatever you want to call it) you're supposed to have it slung over the opposite shoulder. If you have it on the same shoulder as the hip it's resting on, it's a purse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have it on the same shoulder as the hip it's resting on, it's a purse. Right. What we would call a 'satchel' in the Old Days in the US is still carried all over Asia. However, the straps are L-O-N-G and the bag is carried behind the hip. If it's a safe area, it's over the near shoulder. If it's a less safe area, the bag's slung over the far shoulder to deter theft. I have never seen them carried on short straps, under the near arm, with that prissy grip that has suddenly become popular with these trendy man-bag carriers. I guess I just prefer a backpack...always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashtray Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 That's most definitively a womens PURSE! Messenger bags as mentioned above are different and worn different. Go to Home Depot and get an alimunum CASE for your cables and such. You'll thank me later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've been carrying one of these every day for the past seven years. I rarely carry work-related stuff in it so it is, in essence, a purse. Since I take public transportation to and from work, I need to have some "stuff" with me -- phone, iPod, Kindle, books, tabs, etc. and I don't really give a flying {censored} what anybody thinks. If you are unable to bring with you what you need because you're afraid of what someone's going to think regarding your "manhood", I think you are the farthest thing from manly...

Members Hubert Stumblin Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I carry a "messenger bag" or whatever you want to call 'em. And I'll tell you this: I commute everyday to NYC and I can't tell you how many complete dumb {censored}s who use backpacks have them stuffed to the point where they stick out like a {censored}in' foot and a half out behind them. No exageration. And here they are on crowed train platforms, or subway cars and they move around like there's nobody else around them. Completely oblivious. I've seen people get clocked by those things. At least if they wore them down near their hip or even held them by the strap down low it'd be a little less obnoxious.

Members kayd_mon Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm a teacher. I carry a messenger-style bag to work every day; it's necessary given the things I need to bring with me. I don't care if it's perceived as a man-purse. I'll even call it that sometimes. Gender stereotypes are for the overly self-conscious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alex_SF Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is it me, or are those things just a bit ghey? Do you want them to be? Do you have a desire to find "ghey"ness in things? Why is that, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex_SF Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I guess I just prefer a backpack...always. A backpack doesn't look right in all situations: when wearing "business" attire, for instance, it makes one look like a student, not an adult. That Tele-bag doesn't look right for other reasons. It's just kind of silly -- like a guitar-print novelty necktie or something else that a dorky middle-aged dude would wear with his beret to a blues jam. And those fake-leather bits are tacky as hell. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reverse Entropy Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 What surprised me is the number of people in Asian cities who have small rolling luggage with them all the time. That's one of the popular choices for this same all-purpose-cargo duty. At first I was expecting to see them getting into cabs for the airport, but nope - they're out shopping, with their wheelie luggage behind.

Members cuppster Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 I find it ironic that a bunch of guys are arguing on the Internet about the manliest way to wear a purse. Real men have tool belts, ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
