Posts with tag holdall

There's nothing more manly than becoming a father -- it's something that a woman technically cannot do. Still, most of the paraphernalia that comes along with the manhood's highest honor is far from being flattering to one's masculinity, but times they are a changing. Somebody somewhere had the good sense to start marketing dad-friendly diaper bags, and some of them are actually cool enough to be mistaken for a murse, laptop bag, or holdall.

We were totally impressed when we ran across this skull and iron cross-emblazoned diaper bag made by a company called DadGear. Sure, it costs $79.99 -- but you can't put a price tag on the male ego. If you're not the skull and iron cross type, you can tone it down with a Diaper Dude bag from Target. It's a little cheaper and doesn't put off that I'm trying too hard to be a cool dad vibe.

Remember that Seinfeld episode with the European carry-all? The one where Jerry bought a handbag, and then he tried to convince himself that it's not a purse, but he couldn't? Well, guys in London are all over the man-purse these days and they don't care what Seinfeld thinks -- only they call it a "holdall." It's just a bag really, a gym bag or similar cloth+zipper+handles accessory, preferably made out of leather.

Really these things are a great idea, us guys need a "holdall" to carry around our computers, books and other junk these days. The thing is -- it's still a murse. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but you've got to be able to admit it; otherwise you're just lying to yourself. Personally, I'm more likely to go with the briefcase, because no matter how cheap or beat up, briefcases always look powerful.
