Filson Briefcase
Now that I am a working man I thought it appropriate to get a working man's bag to carry my lunch, pens, notebook, and 40 pound company-issued laptop. Solution: Filson brfiefcase (#257) in Olive green. Thanks to Alex at ROONEY!

Byron and Dexter Peart
Byron and Dexter Peart are the creative minds behind the accessories brand Want Les Essentiels de la Vie. They make great bags and wallets named after international airports. Here are two of my favourites from their line:
Trudeau Bag
Charleroi 48 Hr Travel BagThey are both now featured in J. Crew's The Real Guys Style Guide:
This isn't the first time these twins have gotten some mainstream exposure; Dexter was featured in the GQ Rules video series last year. Not too bad for two guys from Montreal.

Reader Question: Messenger Bags
Question:
Do you have any strong feelings about messenger bags? Specifically, I am a bit torn between the north/south versus the east/west styles.
Answer:
Unfortunately, we men do not have a lot of options available to us in when it comes to bags. Woman (as is usually the case) have a multitude of options for different situations, and in different colors to choose from. However, the one style rule that I always try to follow is function over form, and bags cannot escape this rule's graps. For school I use my incase laptop back pack:
It is functional enough to hold all of my essential gear (books and Macbook), but I don't look like I am going on a 8 day backpacking trip into the Andes. When I am lucky enough to travel I take my soft leather Rudsak brief case, but one bag that I do not have in my arsenal is a messenger. I am partial to the 'East/West' style of messenger bag in a simple canvas or leather:
However, if it is large enough (and does not look like a travel purse) I can't object to the 'North/West' style:
If you really have some courage, try a tote (WARNING: only for advanced users, or ALL Europeans):
