$110!! And, it is a Man Purse.

Quality product worth the money. I don't buy knock off jackets or golf clubs in China either. Some things are worth paying extra for. Example - Using your company $150 to buy some decent pants.

For the Memphis bubbas, Outdoors Inc (3 locations) has these in stock if you wanna take a look and see it first hand.

My bad.

No worries. One needed a sense of humor back in the day. But as with any place sometimes it's the same circus, but a different tent.

If you're in the market for one of those Timbuk2 thingies, you might save some coin here:

Business and Laptop On Sale - eBags.com

I don't get a kickback, but have gotten great support from ebags over the last several years. When one of their laptop bags
eBags Firewall RapidScreen Laptop Brief - eBags.com

with a lifetime warranty had a handle torn out, they replaced it no questions asked. Still using the replacement 3 years later.

But what do I know? I'm a parka guy.

Because that's where the MEM bubbas will stab you: in the back.

Seriously though, the backpack is quite possibly the most unprofessional looking aspect of our pilot group next to the '300lb+ club.' If you want to fly the feeder jets to the Greats and Grands it's fine, just please don't walk in front of me to a Customs line with one on. You look ridiculous.

If you want a good blouzer Ray Lo in HKG (Winston Co.) can whip one up for ya.

Well uh sure KnightRider, let me go break out my old leather Jepps bag so I can measure up to your standards of coolness. Will you pay for my rotator cuff surgery too?

You can be cool or a dork, that's your call. I was not referring to folks who use or travel with a backpack ... just the ones who wear them with both straps over the shoulder over their uniform walking around AOC or on the computer. Yeah, some are FFDOs, but really? The sweater with epaulets kinda dorks it up too.
