Messenger/shoulder bags

Filson field bag:

The track and field/timbuk2/chrome ones are nice and everything, but i wouldn't be able to get a good variety of uses for them since i'd like it to go from casual to respectable. If there aren't that many ones at online clothing stores or good department stores, I guess i'll have to do the hoping to get lucky at thrift stores/ebay thing.

I agree. You're asking for trouble.

They're better than a one-shoulder laptop bag or a backpack thrown over one shoulder, though. The only thing much better than a messenger bag for hands-free carrying is a backpack on both shoulders.

I have a bad upper back, and I get away with it by keeping the messenger bag relatively light and switching shoulders regularly.

what about one strap backpacks

i've always thought they were cool. i've never owned one though.

Acronym messenger bag: more info at http://www.the-glade.com/brands/acro...satztasche.php

Timbuk2

the Timbuk bag is bigger and imo more comfortable because of the wider strap....but i think the Acronym bag is more beautiful

I really like my army surplus bag

I have a Tumi flap bag, not the most stylish bag or anything, but it's very practical... I like it coz it's got pen pockets for my fountain pens...

My first one actually broke after 4 months and the Tumi store just gave me another one...

varvatos for style
