I repeat my question - what accesories does a man carry that require a messenger bag man purse? If you have too much stuff for pockets, go with a briefcase. Seriously - what do guys who carry purses carry - I want to know.

My brother, who's 36 and works for a large engineer filled company, carries one and has never had any "looks" or comments about it. I think it's a safe fashion leap.

that can show zulu time, which is something I still can't tell, but that's another story for another time, since I still can't seem to takeoff and land properly, but that also is another story in itself).
So, anybody here carry a leather messenger bag? Does it make you look gay? I can't believe it does, but what do I know? FWIW, my husband was more concerned about the price than how it would look.

Alright, you guys have made your point, loud and clear. I'll get him a pair of leather pants to go with the dang messenger bag! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Or maybe I should just get him one of TonyC's Aerospace watches from WalMart. This way, he'll think he's a fancy airline pilot who's a legend in his own mind.
And if you all keep it up, I'll get each of you your very own Hello Kitty backpack, matching flip flops, and color coordinating thongs.

Cool. Young. Get it...
Make sure there is a Wall Street Journal in it when you give it to him.
