New Man Purse
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 pmIt’s been a long time since I started looking for a new man purse, and I finally found a suitable replacement: the OGIO Hip Hop messenger bag. It’s the perfect size, and unlike most bags I’ve looked at, it’s got a water bottle pocket. In fact, it’s got TWO water bottle pockets, just in case.
My only complaint is the strap. It’s got these little plastic square loops that connect the strap to the bag. It should look like this:
Unfortunately, it gets twisted up a lot like this:
But, I found a simple solution: a four-dollar carabiner from the hardware store:
It still bunches up on the bag side, but it doesn’t get twisted up when I adjust the length of the strap. Once my Crossbuster patch gets here and sewed on, I’ll be happier than a ternader in a trailer park.

The Crossbuster patch looks sweet! I want one.

AGH you jerk, I was SOOO going to buy that exact bag one day. I have it bookmarked and everything. Right now I’m using a cheap messenger bag that I got at Marshall’s that the strap fell off of, I fixed it with a carabiner just like you did. Stop copying me! Mine has a Darwin fish pin though

Fonny, buy it anyway - it is, in my opinion, the highest level of perfection one will find in a man purse. And I’ll add my red atheist A pin once I figure out where I put it.
