Are they the best man bags?

Two very good reasons: -

Durability - Perhaps you remember those old school satchels many of us used to carry to and from school every day, packed full of books and notepads. Stretched to the limit as every item that has to be carried was jammed in, often including sports gear, lunch boxes and any other accessory a schoolchild could think of. What were they made of? Yes leather and for good reason, they stood the test of time.

My old leather satchel lasted 5 years of abuse and mishandling, being bashed into walls, dropped from a great height and occasionally it was a substitute for a football. But it lasted and went on to retirement as a girls satchel where it was much better cared for. So the truth is leather lasts.

Style & Manliness - a mans bag should look like it belongs to a man, now I will hear you argue that women's bags come in leather as well, and you are right they do. So yes it isn't just about the leather it is actually about being leather and in the right style, plus for the fashion conscious man it is going to need to be mid road between formal and casual, not too far in either direction. You don' want a briefcase and neither do you want a rucksack, that's not what man bags are about.

Small but functional, originally came with a belt loop but now has a shoulder or wrist strap option. You won't get your tablet in this one but if you want something for your smartphone, keys, wallet, pens etc. This is the bag for you.

Bringing out the big guns, this is a leather messenger bag for men that has amongst various other accolades been described as the perfect man bag. The price may be a bit daunting but it seems to say that sometimes if you want quality you have to pay for it.

Big enough for a small laptop, 3 open top accessory pockets and with a removable shoulder strap, this bag is both stylish and rugged.

One reviewer gave the size of this bag as being 9" x 7" x 4" and complained that size should be included in the description. I agree you shouldn't have to rely on another customers information, but sometimes price matters and this bag is one of the most affordable leather man bags that comes with a shoulder or wrist strap. Another one for those little things you need with you.

Made from Columbian leather with a flap over magnetic snap closer. Now that's neat, no fiddly buckles and includes a cell phone holder, pen holders and credit card slots along with the iPad compartment . But this one comes with a permanent shoulder strap and no handle, so if you don't want to carry it on your shoulder then don't buy this one.

These are all best selling man's messenger bags! There is no accounting for taste, so if you think they are rubbish vote them down or if you think they are brilliant vote them up. And if you think the best are not even listed you can add them, what a winner!

Would you buy a man bag to organise all your personal accessories?
