Can you describe the interior pockets, or if it's not too much trouble, take a couple pictures? That bag caught my eye a few days ago, but the pictures on the site haven't sold me yet.

I carry my smaller stuff around in my pockets, and I also carry a briefcase for my laptop and paperwork...

I know it isn't the most stylish but I use the Ogio Mastermind laptop backpack. for college and work i need function a lot more than style right now.

I prefer to use messenger bags. I think they have the best mix of function and style.

Adidas, Gola and Fred Perry all have their own versions of the shoulder zip bag.

For gym days I use this:
David-King-Classic-Duffel-Bag~img~XB~XB1026_m.jpg
Problems: no size pocket for phone, wallet or keys... just a small second pocket inside which I have to use. Also a solid bottom with ridiculous little "legs," totally unnecessary. For other days I use this:

Problems: no handles.

Re big brands and branding all over the place - I recently came across this: http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men...m10010282.aspx and was very surprised that for a Nike bag, the branding was very subtle. Don't get it from farfetch though - I think the Nike UK sells them cheaper. Too bad they (Nike UK) don't ship to the US, and their US site doesn't have it...

I work in a business casual office, but occasionally wear suits on site with customers. The bag is from Saddleback Leather Co. in Texas. www.saddlebackleather.com

I like the top-handled totes because they don't crease your clothes, as a messenger strap will if you have things in it.

Totes are still stigmatized in the USA, but they are basically a larger, more easily filled and accessible briefcase with a larger drop on the handles. Not very girly, if you ask me, and smart way to carry your stuff.

Here's what I mean, something like:
Filson

or

Perry Ellis

Don't you have to wait a year and have a course of hormone replacement therapy before you can get those?

It's a Perry Ellis "Riverside" tote that might be available for purchase from their website. I think the retail was $175 or so, but you could probably get it on sale much cheaper if you call a Dillards or even check a TJ Maxx/Marshall's. EDIT: just found it on their website, marked down from the retail: http://www.perryellis.com/ped/catalo...0068&ccode=200 I'm usually NOT a Perry Ellis fan, as most of the stuff I've seen was junk, but I saw this bag in person and was really quite impressed. Very simple, no logos, sturdy canvas/leather, etc. A pretty good bag if you need something like that.
