Tote bags in or out?

[herpsky]

what do you guys think of tote bags (especially the headporter ones) ?

do people in the US (as opposed to asia and other countries) rock tote bags?

people here think they're girly as hell

Rock it. I have been using a porter "Smoky" tote bag for nearly 3-4 years now. Tight understated design and fits everything I need (laptop, ipod, magazines, etc...). Makes sense if you commute by train/subway during the summer months since having a backpack makes your back all sweaty and if its crowded, its harder to pull things out from the back rather than the side. I swear by this tote. Recently been seeing lots of guys in New York rockin' them and they aren't "gay".

tote bags are quite popular in asia, especially the headporter ones.

personally they're not my style. i prefer the shoulder bags.

[lyingonyourdriveway]

in the us you would definitely be deemed a homosexual if you were carrying a tote bag

yeah, that was sooo homosexual of me *hand at 90degree angle

[horriblyjollyjinx]

why is this guy still here?

I have been using tote bags for about a year now. Looks a lot better than other types of bags, but they slide off your shoulder easily which is a bit annoying.

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

I think the tote bag thing might be region-specific in that it's pretty much the norm in japan or europe but in North America, you might end up looking like you're carrying your girlfriend's bag for her.

exactly, that was the question.

im not being a troll by saying a guy carrying a tote bag around in the US or Canada will look gay, that is just how it is. guys dont normally carry them

same in (most of) the UK. i like them, but i think they are hard to pull off (for me anyway)...

wanted - spruce/w&h - pm me if you are selling...

carry it in your hand not on your shoulder for a less "girlfriend's purse" vibe. I've been rocking a free upper playground one from SF and a free one I got from Quench in Harajuku. They're mad handy because I hate the back sweat that comes from backpacks during the warm months. Plus I just like to kick it without shit ridding up my back

I'm not gay, but I have the confidence to rock it even when my friends call it a man-purse, I'm not opposed to bringing foreign styles from overseas to the states. I've only lived in america for four years why should i switch up my steez because fools aren't willing to be open minded?

fuckin' right i'm a doctor
