That only works if the girl has a little teddy bear climbing out of it.

Get a leather day planner or similar and take the paper pages out of it. Maybe Hermes can make you a green one.

Beh you people have too many hang ups.

Slim messenger, or briefcase. Or cargo pockets.

I would suggest a messenger also or a small field bag. I carry my camera a lot, so I just got a Filson small field bag and that fits all my other stuff in it.[/SPOILER]

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. A slim messenger bag seems to be what's more approved than my damn clutch thing, and I like this idea. However, wouldn't this be too business-y for weekend wear? Or would it be just okay?

Well he says he is. Often describes himself as 'Chinese alpha male' in that So High Fashion blog of his. FYI there are millions of Chinese people who don't actually live in China, and according to Wikipedia the population of Malaysia is 23.7% Chinese.

What like Jackie Chan(Chan Kong-sang) or Bruce Lee(Lee Jun-fan)?

That maybe one reason. But more often it's when Chinese people learn English, they give themselves an English forename. In fact many English training schools in China actively encourage it, or it's a rule of the school that they adopt an English forename. However sometimes the names they do choose can seem somewhat bizarre or 'new age', e.g. 'Tomorrow', 'Tuesday', 'Silveryfox', 'Happy', 'Smile', 'Rainbow'.. a student at my last school called himself 'Tiger Zhong', although 'Tiger' is not such a daft forename....Tiger Woods.

No. Not Jackie Chan but things like Tomorrow etc. You dont see any South American or Central European countries where their people call themselves that do you? As a nickname yes, but not as an actual name.

I don't own a man's clutch and it may be perceived by some people as not very masculine (or to put it more bluntly, gay) but it beats the hell out of the infinitely unstylish messenger bag over a suit.

'Tiger' is not his real name. His real name is a much more fitting Eldrick.

When I have to carry a lot of gear with me I wear something like, but not exactly like this.

Carries loops, GPS, camera, markers, bags, knife, markers, sani-wipes, DEET, snacks, flagging tape, maps, compass, dry socks, and samples.

I'd suggest getting a small leather notebook or portfolio. Rip out some of the pages if there isn't enough room to fit things like your iPod or whatnot. You can store stuff in the pockets, and it is clearly a necessary and functional item.

I have a pocket like that meant for the storage of newspapers while walking in one of my overcoats. It's a really nice feature!

As a fairly recent convert to the mangbag trend, I must say I don't think I can make it to manclutch.
