I Need A New Messenger Bag, Which Is The Coolest To Have?
hey guys!
i have a chrome metropolitan bag. when i got it it was really cool, but now it seems like lots of other people are riding with them and i was wondering if anybody had any tips on a cooler, new brand that i could get so i don't blend in too much with the pack. i've seen the timbuk2s, and i don't dig them. i'm wondering if someone has the tip on what the cool messengers in new york or san francisco are using these days. thanks!

The coolest messengers are using bull scrotums.

I think you are already played out my sad little friend. Go buy a backpack.

OP: Your thread is unsalvageable. Sorry.
Do a search and you'll get more information than you ever could want.
I'll give you a hint: Bailey Works.
