| Moray. Why do you feel the need to "flesh out " your bag with a jumper? |

feels a bit weird devoting a whole bag to just a wallet keys and phone. They jangle about a lot and it feels way to light on the shoulder. At least if you put a jumper in, it feels like you had a purpose behind taking the bag out. Plus, how many times have you gone somewhere and thoght 'if only I had a jumper'
FYI, the same theory applies to a light waterproof jacket |

It's either the jumper or fill my bag with foam packing as part of the charade
as an aside I wanted to write 'as part of the rouse' here. As in a sham, charade or falsity. But can't for the life of me spell rouse. Little help here? |

Bahahaha.
I would never mock your inability to spell a word, as my spelling is horrid, but the simplicity of the reply made it oh so entertaining.
Thank you Scottish boys for the entertainment. |

Ah! Satchel bags! That's what they're called!
I wanted to reply to this thread yesterday but I couldn't due to my lack of vocabulary. Thank you for this English lesson. In Argentina we call them "morrales".
It's completely normal to see men with satchel bags in Argentina. From teenagers to ancient people.
I agree it looks weird when they're more purse-like. I can't say I've ever seen a man using one of those, though.
Jumper means the same thing in Argentina :oP. |

erm. men carrying little coin purses????
err... I've been living in this country for 27 years now... and we do have an underground/subway-system in Munich, and I went to school by underground and bus...
HOW could I miss this?
you don't mean wallets like this one, do you?
Hm, maybe in Cologne... I mean, they have "carnival" there, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they used little coin purses, too ;P |

No, they weren't regular wallets. They were small leather cases made just for coins. They were kind of oval shaped and rather flat. Found a picture!
Coin Purse
And yes...I spent most of my time in Cologne. Apparently Köln is the men's coin purse capitol of Germany. ;o) |

I use brief case.
Personally I can't see what is wrong with that or a back pack/laptop bag/record bag etc. why the need for a wee gay purse??
