IHE-36 - Small Shoulder Bag - 12oz Wabash - Indigo or Black
-
I'd appreciate seeing one of your male models wearing this shoulder bag thereby demonstrating it's inherent masculinity and proving this bag is not a man purse.
I mean, a few years back I had carried around a large, leather camera bag and it had so appeared to me to be anything other than a purse yet it had not stopped my brother in law from making comments. Now I hear his voice anytime I'm going out, with my bag, to take photos. Lol.
Please help your customers to get over this mental hurtle. Have your muscular guy try it on. Show us today's new man.
If you want that bag, buy that bag. Your brother in law determining your masculinity is the least masculine thing in the world. Doing what pleases you and having no fucks to give makes you a sexy beast.
(I’ll add that I have been using these bags for years, have six children and a young Scandiavian wife. And poor mental health, but that is another matter [emoji38]).

Same here, have that bag and love it. Always carry it around especially when travelling. Best for all the stuff like sunglasses etc. Even a light jacket or pullover for cooler evenings fits in there.
And I don’t give a FCK how some wallies define masculinity.
(I only have four children, and a beautiful german woman, but broad shoulders and a deep voice)

…part of me wants to roast you (I won’t), and I agree with the sentiments above. I have longer hair, wear earrings, like pinks shirts, and generally don’t give a fuck. Does that make me less masculine than someone else, probably, but I don’t care. Would I wear and use that bag? Yes, but I already have multiple bags in use and can’t see buying another right now.
Also two kids (both girls) and a beautiful wife that I’ve been with for 30 years. Not that it matters…

I've had some fun, but in all seriousness: It doesn't matter what you wear or how you wear it. Being comfortable with yourself is the most important. If YOU like it and want to wear it, what does it matter?
Also, I abhor people who judge and bully people for the choices they make…

Hey people have their hangups and that’s not really our business if they can’t let them go. Can always go backpack or messenger bag if this form factor isn’t something you can wear confidently.
I have some baggage around baggage myself: I’ll never wear a fanny pack outside of technical applications like mountain biking. It’s not tied to masculinity, I just think they look like something a del Boca Vista resident would wear. I won’t pretend my agist hangup is somehow better than one on masculinity, but I’ll own it.

I feel like everyone has already said everything there is to say about wearing what works for YOU [mention]BrianA [/mention]
I just wanted to chime in and point out that what your brother-in-law and other people may say about men with bags and the like are very old-fashioned views on fashion and masculinity. Modern men are better off ignoring them and allowing their sons to move forward with a more inclusive and complete version of what it means to be a man. Including carrying bags if they need/want them, and even (gasp!) showing their feelings.

@sabergirl What are these feelings that you speak of? Do you mean like eating ice cream too fast or having to pee really bad?

like pinks shirts
Oof… steady on there.
Maybe @goosehd is just tapping into the old ways - “As a shade of red, pink shared its connotations of vigour and was worn freely by fashionable men”. Or in our context, perhaps pink = red + evo. The early 20th century got a lot wrong - stealing pink from guys is way down the list!
