Is there really no way to wear a sling or crossbody bag without looking gay? Im not even carrying a lot of shit I just want to keep my pockets free when walking about and sometimes im not wearing a jacket with inside pockets.
>>18704007 >>18704035 >>18704070 Right pocket S25+ Left pocket Opinel knife #4 Keys Wallet I've already opted in for a slim wallet, pic related, but the thing that makes my pockets bulge out are my car fob keys
>>18703946 So what if your pant pockets bulge, you faggot? Stop being a whiny little bitch and wear cargo pants like a man, instead of carrying a purse like a hoe.
>>18703949 This isn't the medieval era, chud. A modern pant is a singular piece of garment, not a couple of detachable tubes worn on legs like thigh high socks. There's no reason to treat it as a plural just because a medieval boomer said so.
>>18704035 Depends on your look. The OP one doesn't work at all and is like awkward dadcore, but with something like a skater kid or urban ninja look, it works.
>>18703946 It's not complex, the only person making it an issue is you. Carry the bag, and ironically, stop being a fucking faggot worrying about what other men are thinking. It's a bag not a bra.
>>18704183 Then wear a belt, retard. I don't get why most "men" these don't wear a belt. Stop wearing low rise faggot jeans, pull your pants up, and wear a belt to keep them in place.
>>18704249 What am I saying that's big shit? I'm saying basic bitch shit that should be obvious to any grown ass man. Belts and non-low rise pants aren't exotic or luxury goods. They should be a staple in any man's wardrobe.
I carry a wallet, a money clip, a phone, a can of pouches, car keys with a flashlight and mace and a window breaker, and a knife and somehow I manage to do all this without my pockets bulging.
You're supposed to have everything in your mercedes parked up a couple of km away. Life is for rich people. But you don't have to be a fag, get a Freitag, they aren't big and I can't forget I hate it on
>>18704398 Dude is that even fabric? Why is it fading? Burberry is famous for its tweed FABRIC not just a printed pattern, you've been completely scammed if you're not buying an actual quality item from Burberry
Small/Medium sized shoulder bags are useful and don't look like faggot shit, I would recommand some type of Indiana Jones style shoulder bag, leather or fabric.
>>18704089 > knife Why? I assume for self defense but in Europe thugs care machetes and in America they carry guns. In what scenario is a knife going to help you?
>>18704931 It’s an old timey Cartier wristwatch I wear for merely the aesthetic value.
>>18707504 >>18708087 If you dislike that one then I also have an Aquascutum bag I almost never use because most of my medical stuff and books don’t fit inside of it.
>>18708123 >Knives are illegal to carry for self defense in my country anyway That is insane. I carry this daily, you grab the loop with your index finger and pull forward and the green tab hooks onto your pocket so the blade swings out and locks into place in one movement and it is completely legal here.
I everyday carry a wallet, cellphone, pistol, clip-knife, keys, Bic lighter and a pack of cigarets in my pants pockets without any problems.
What else are you carrying that you can't keep it in your pockets?
Because when I head off for work, I have a small backpack with my lunch, a travel mug, umbrella, a couple of multi-tools, wireless headphones and various knick-knacks, like an extra Bic lighter, shoelaces, some band-aids, etc.
>>18703946 I just bought this, I don't think it looks gay (well on my picture it does because the guy looks gay but it's not the accessory that's being the problem)
>>18708084 a swiss army knife is pretty useful once in a while. I mostly use mine for the scissors than the knife, the other day I bought some coffee at costco and when I went to go grind it inthe store I used the sak scissors to open the bag because the communal one was gone
Again; how much shit are you carrying that you can't keep it in your pockets and if you've got a laptop and such, then get a normal small backpack which allows you to carry other stuff.
>>18708131 >>Knives are illegal to carry for self defense in my country anyway >That is insane.
Europe has fallen. There was an incident a couple of years back in the Netherlands or Denmark where some chick got attacked by a migrant who tried to rape her, she fought him off and pepper sprayed him and... she was arrested and charged with carrying a "weapon".
>>18708429 I used to think carrying a knife was dumb until I was behind a car accident on I-80 in Pennsylvania and a woman couldn’t get free from her seatbelt so another bystander cut the seatbelt with his hunting knife and got her out. I realized if it had been night in winter, she probably would’ve died. I’ve carried one on my waist ever since.
>>18708694 Stone Age hominids tore animals open with their hands and took shits on river banks. You’re typing on 4chan in a room your parents reluctantly let you occupy. It’s not the same.
>>18708703 Stone age hominids used stone knives, which were often sharper than most household knives. That's why it's called the stone age. Before stone tools humans mostly ate fruits, roots, berries and ze bugs.
>>18708703 >Stone Age hominids tore animals open with their hands You must've descended from that lineage since none of your kind have figured out something as simple as a knife after all these millions of years.
>>18709051 Most modern phones alone are enough to bulge your pocket. Even more if you put them in a case. It's like carrying a tablet in your pocket. God I miss "dumb" phones so much it's unreal.
>>18709057 But you need a smartphone for a lot of things these days, at least to check emails on the go, if not GPS and mobile payment. Today's world revolves around smartphones. Not having one is like trying to commute on a horse when the world has moved on to automobiles.
>>18708401 the eastpack shit is solid, I've had mine for ~3 years and it's holding up great. I got this one in blue, dunno why they stopped selling this design
>>18709430 The "regular" sized phone itself is a pocket tablet. Phones used to be 1/4th that size. Now it's like carrying 4 phones in one pocket. I guess the only way to go back is to get one of these folder phones.
>>18709702 >folding phone too big Can you even reading comprehension?
>>18709632 Oh yeah, those were a thing throughout the 90s and up to like 2001. Not sure why people stopped using them. Back then nobody carried their phones or pagers in their pockets. They wore them on their belt in a holster. I guess they stopped doing it because people stopped tucking their shirts in the 2000s, so it would look weird if something was poking through the shirt near your belt.
>>18703946 I've been looking to get one. After watching some Japanese guys use it, it looked really useful. Just get a full black one with minimal details. There are quite a lot of cheap ones from China that are also water proof and some bikers use.
>>18711083 Do drug dealers just carry their shit like that? In the US (unless its weed) you pay a guy who goes around the corner/inside and then comes back with your drugs, at least thats how it was the very few times I bought coke.
>>18708401 I went with one of pic related. Rectangular, fairly large (not quite messenger bag but close) and is made of water resistant cordura like a backpack. Your clothing style makes the biggest difference.
>>18711083 This. But typically their crossbody bags are Adidas, Gucci or Louis Vutton. It's literally always one of those three and they always wear track pants.
>>18711088 Yeah they will just walk around with these bags. What I mentioned above makes them easy to identify though, it's always one of those brands with a big logo and they always wear track pants.
>>18709632 Man I remember these, they were everywhere during the early dumbphone era. They probably went away once phones started having more features and people started taking them out for more than just answering a call.
>>18704035 In my experience the only time in which having a bag in a cross body config doesn't look gay is if it's a lunchbag, gymbag or some sort of outdoorsy/military application. Fanny packs are only permissible to dog trainers, sports coaches, and fishermen. Single shoulder strap bags are never okay unless it's a laptop. If any of this is worn in any other scenario the moment I see you I'm convinced you take it up the ass.
>>18704070 Car keys, weed, snus, external battery, cords, vape, water, ID, cigarettes, lighter, money. If you don’t live in an urban setting all this extra shit you might need for a whole day out, just stays in the car. If you want, or need, to be out in the city all day you might need shit to make your comfy.
>>18704103 Bruh I only need two things to be out for 30 min These bags are for a whole day out and about. Wagies with 2 hour train commutes who might do everything in the city but live in the burbs.
>>18714958 it also has a stiff back so it retains it's shape well if that's something you're after, I find it quite comfortable and useful to reach in a pull something out without looking with one hand
