Default C'mon ladeez, give me your thoughts

I need a new overnight/cabin bag for my trip home, as Mrs Triboy has the other one in Korea. I shall be traveling in blue 506s, with Salvatore Ferragamo tan casuals, polo neck sweater and black full length cashmere coat. Which bag would you like see such a dashing man carrying?

This (black or tan)

this
http://www.oroton.com/pc-1249-19-chester-overnight.aspx

this
http://www.oroton.com/pc-1863-19-hun...ernighter.aspx

or this ( go to 'Mens/luggage/Summer 2008- the Soana sport bag. 1300 quid yeah right )
http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/flas...1=ebou_menu_gb

any other suggestions welcome

It's a Manbag Tr1boy!

I love your overly metro posts, you are the antithesis of most Australian males.

How did you even last 6 months here?

I like the third one I really dislike the Lois Vuitton but then I would never buy anything with a designer label or a brand name plastered all over it Plus everyone will just assume it fake anyway

Not without difficulty

I don't really think of myself as metrosexual. I don't have enough hair left for that But I do like style ( I'm to old for fashion) and I do try to think of wearing things that compliment each other.

Mrs Triboy's mother (sadly passed away God rest her soul, she sounded like a lovely person) was quite a famous bespoke designer in Seoul. So when we go shopping together we're quite in sync with what goes together, even though we have different tastes all together.

I'll be taking my new Alfred Dunhill belt for a spin as well. This is what happens when I can't ride, way too much time on my hands

It's nice that you both have that interest in fashion.

Myself I would worry a bit about bad stuff happening to my nice leather bag, when I travel for cabin luggage I use a nicely padded daypack with a separate bit for my laptop.

On one trip a giant bag of crisps had burst inside the overhead luggage compartment in flight, by the time I retrieved my bag in Aus it was pretty greasy, but luckily washable.

But maybe I am overthinking and looking worst case scenario.

When I travel for work I have a nice Antler cabin mini suitcase which has a built in baggage cart etc, more like this, as I tend to require a fair amount of product etc which inevitably adds to the weight making a shoulderbag awkward with my laptop and another hand for ticket etc - something like this but not quite as flash, I got mine in the sale at DJs way cheaper than this

I travel business class so you tend to get a fair bit room overhead anyway, even when the seats are full. One thing I've never been afraid of is using stuff. I try to look after things as best I can and respect them, but I'm a firm believer in using things for their intended purpose. Nice luggage is like a nice guitar, it has no kudos without some battlescars

Yeah we have one those, a Samsonite one that expands out to intl size, or zips up for domestic. Mrs Triboy has it, and I just fancied a soft bag as well.

You are such a girly boy TB
I'm having a man facial next week Never had one before, kind of curious and want to look nice for Mrs Triboy.
