I'm forever misplacing my phone and/or wallet and/or keys & decided I may have to get a man bag to keep them all in.

Can anybody suggest a nice manbag without making me look like I have "the ghey"

I have a leather dunlop shoulder bag, can just about squeeze your laptop in it as well as everything you mentioned. Had a few comments from the women in the office as to how fashionable it is. Ok all the male colleagues keep their distance and won't stand next to me at the urinals but hey ho it looks cool.

I've used man bags for the last 6 or 7 years. I dislike having things in my pockets, so they are a great solution.

Mrs zcacogp bought me a man bag from HiDesign last Christmas. They seem to have some nice stuff ...

I quite like that, however i'm concerned it maybe a bit to trendy for me, please advise.

What about something classy...and motoring related (not to mention expensive) from the Porsche Design collection?

Yeah. They are quite popular. All the tramps round my way go for the 'military fatigues' look.

Hey!! I resent that, I've just bought one, ex US army, alpha jacket or something, £75, can't see many tramps affording that, if they can i'm going out on the street.

Are you thinking something a little more 'formal'?

All Saints have a couple of nice bags:

For £245 it would have to offer light hand relief once a day.

Buy what used to be called a "bum bag". Cheap as chips. Holds wallet, keys, phone etc.

I have one and either wear it around one shoulder with the pack on my chest or carry it. I don't wear it around my waist - which is not just because I am a fat bd.
