Top Ten Tools of a Stylish Man: #2 A Proper Bag
Ernest Alexander Wax Utility Bag, $140
A good bag is something that you won’t value until you get one. Sure, you might see it as a superfluous expense, but once you’ve got a good one you’ll understand what we were talking about. It’s not okay to bring your college backpack to work every day so this post is made especially for those of you who are just graduating. When choosing what type of bag, we think the first thing to consider is when you’ll be using it. Are you going to be bringing it to the sales floor every day or do you need a bag to carry some sketches into your design job? If you’re unsure about which style of bag you should buy, we suggest getting something a little more formal because you don’t want to be the guy walking into JP Morgan with a tote.

For the more casual we suggest going with Ernest Alexander’s Utility Bag for it’s simple and attractive design. It has that same Filson appeal, but we love the subtle plaid lining that really separates it from the competition. It’s just the right size and masculine enough for those of you who are worried about being tagged at the guy with the “man purse.” For the more business type workers, we suggest buying something that will last you the entire ride to the corner office. Brooks Brothers has a great briefcase that will look absolutely perfect with that simple grey suit you own and will look better and better the older it gets.

What brand is the bag on the home page? I really like the newspaper-holding straps.
Just found this site. Have an aswer on the entry bag – its the Delvaux Newspaper Bag – about $2k.
