One of the benefits of dressing appropriately for work is that my sport coats and suit coats all have two inside breast pockets which are perfect for a wallet and smartphone.

I was riding my ElectraGlide one day and came upon a Harley Sportster at an intersection. The rider of said Sportster was sporting a MAN PURSE slung over his shoulder! Not a backpack, not a sachel - but a freakin’ MAN PURSE!

I almost wrecked my bike laughing so hard...

Our rifle-toting frontier ancestors carried a rifle bag, or more correctly a "possibles bag," loaded down with extra rifle flints, cleaning tools, patching material, ammunition, probably a couple knives...

Is that what "Pharrell" is talking about?

Tactical cargo pants.

Fashion? What is that? If it is good enough for the swat team it is good enough for me.

Not sure what people are saying with the whole “what if you need to carry something that don’t fit in your pockets?”

What kinda stupid question is that? Get MORE and BIGGER pockets.

It’s one of the great things about being a man. You don’t NEED to carry a purse! Women NEED to carry a purse. I know some actual women and they tell me they don’t want to carry a purse. They have to!!

A large camera bag would be able to carry all those items you mentioned, including your camera.

It’s not a purse, it’s a European Shoulder Bag!

Actually, Pharrell Williams is quite straight, in some ways. He married his long time girlfriend, produced a child, then produced triplets.

However, his biography is peculiar to say the least.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell_Williams

Early on in his career, he helped produce the 1992 hit “Rump Shaker”, for the group Wreckx-N-Effect’s, widely regarded today as one of the *worst* R&B/Hip-Hop Singles ever made.

But since that time, he has become relatively “family friendly”, is all over the entertainment industry map, and has created several very big hit singles, collaborating with a very diverse group, from Madonna to Beyoncé’s version of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”, to Daft Punk and others. He has even written songs for animated movies like Despicable Me.

He also is very proud to be a science fiction nerd.

Artist type. If he wants to wear a purse, good for him.

We used to call the map cases we slung over our shoulder in the army fag bags too. Hell I have been carrying a tote bag for the past 20 years, always on the left side. Never considered it anything but convenient.

If you're a man, and you're carrying this bag in one hand:

...you're probably holding your boyfriend's sack in the other.

Wtf? A tasteful man bag is out of the question but a briefcase, which is virtually no different,is apparently ok? Who decides where the line is drawn? This douche bag can keep his opinions to himself about what is manly or not.

I remember an episode of “All In The Family” where Rob Reiner’s character was carrying a “man purse.” (Yeah, I know, but this post isn’t about Rob Reiner.) The point is, that was over 40 years ago, so attempts to popularize this “fashion accessory” are nothing new. Every few years, they try to bring it back again.

Real men need to start shaming those metro sexuals back to hell where they came from.

I ride the train to work most mornings, and see hundreds of people. I’m always surprised that I’m one of the only ones without a bag. Once I got a smartphone, and realized that I no longer needed an address book, day planner and note pad, I took advantage of the opportunity to walk free! Wallet, keys, and phone are all I need with me most of the time.
