Messenger Bag

[SiM]

Looking for a smart, smallish messenger bag for taking to work. Anyone bought one online/offline recently and can recommend any bag/shop?

I like this one or this, but I wouldn't mind spending a bit less...

Cheers

I saw some nice crumpler ones recently but they were probably the wrong sort of thing that you were looking for

[SiM]

I should have mentioned that I am not gay Tak, so half of those are not of my taste

The 2nd last one is ok, but I prefer the one from JL as it is a lot thinner...

and wow, everyone should click on the last one to see that!

i think this one would suit you sim

crumpler gear i've found to not only be horrifically over priced, but also damn un-comfy for a long term wearing!

for stuff like this its really worth looking in person at the shops, they will be clearing the summery stuff out now, to make space for the scalfs/overcoats, so you will probably find some good sales on. So i'd go out in person a looking, and find something thats comfy. Plus iirc its GS your working at, so you have to look smart, last thing you want to do is look like some scruffy new media type.

Hahaha, don't think so. But someone should make a gif of that bag with a pedobear coming out of it

Thanks for the tip. I will check out the bags at JL in Oxford Street next weekend

Would you recommend any other shops that have some nice bags?

The bag I saw was a Crumpler "super snipe" for £10 at QVC outlet retail store [only 2 stores in the uk].

Was only available in rust (orange) or dark dark green.

You have no idea how much i lol'd then It may sound odd, but have a look on marks and spencers. I'm currently looking for a bag myself, and they have some alright ones.

I'm yet to find one, mainly because i'm cheap

And TAK TAK, that is alot of links for one post

[SiM]

Hmm, not bad, I will check out M&S and Burton too... I guess that I should also try out shops like Next and River Island, they might have something nice at a good price

[SiM]

LOL. Why is it so big and where did the straps go? But good work TAK, I can see you growing up to be a great pedobear artist one day

Can't recall where i bought mine from, think it was some shoe shop off st christophers place.

Good places to check are shoe shops/gentlemen's out fitters, they often have the smart ones, and if your lucky you can find them on clearance.

That said the one i used with my suite was my johnny walker promotional one. Looked smart, carried a book + pad + etc. And was FREE (some brain cells might of been killed along the way).

fixed the bigness

and it's much easier without the straps cos then you don't have to cut around pedobear fully...

Version 2 with a strapon (ooh eer)
