Messenger bags. To the urban man, they are a must. You need something for which to lug your stuff: the laptop, mags, papers (rolling or otherwise). You want something functional but not unsightly. As a man who drags his belongings around NYC daily and feels quite naked without it, I know from messenger bags. You’re done with school so skip the backpack, and unless you’re bundling investments into new-fangled securities on Wall Street, you’re best served carrying around something that doesn’t make you look an asswipe trying desperately to write the Great American Novel. Let me save you a lot of time and weird looks. Filson. It’s the final word in carriage.
Someone with a lot better taste than me gave me my first Filson bag and I am now a believer. Filson’s are built Ford tough and look great too. Durable, quick drying, and waterproof, they first became popular with fortune-seeking gold prospecters during the great western Gold Rush of 1849. They come with a lifetime warranty and guarantee looks of admiration from men and women alike. Bottom line, the bag makes you look like a stud. Most prospecters came up dry during the Gold Rush but at least they discovered Filson.
