It’s a serious situation for men. Modern working men have to carry more than just cash and a credit card these days. There is the work gear such as a laptop, iPad, smartphone and all that other stuff that keeps you connected to the office. Then there is your sports kit for that healthy stop at the local gymnasium before or after work (perhaps during lunch?) and finally there is the kit that keeps you sane on the long commute home – the PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS, copy of Men’s Style, Smith Journal, GQ or The Australian and a few other bits and pieces for good measure. Problem is that the man bag certainly won’t carry all of that stuff. So what’s the solution? A stylish bag that has equal parts man bag style with pockets for leisure kit and plenty of space for extra clothes and perhaps joggers as well. Here are a few that we would recommend hit the spot for overall usefulness.
