Men’s Bags
Every guy needs a signature bag. I’m not talking about a man-bag or man-purse; I’m talking about a must-have piece to carry your essentials. Bags aren’t just for women anymore. You rock a killer beard, look all fly, why slack on the accessories? Whether you’re a frequent traveler, businessman, or just an everyday guy – you need something timeless, durable and cool to carry your most valued possessions. Here are the bag options a man should have and what they are best used for:
The Backpack
No, not the backpack that you carried around during college; we’re talking about a grown up version. It’s time for something that you can fit more than just your schoolbooks. This wool daypack has enough space to carry everything you need for the entire day. It features full leather shoulder straps, magnetic clasps and drawstring for quick access, and a padded laptop sleeve inside. (Win this bag! See the contest box at the end of this article.)

Everyone carries a laptop or tablet these days. Give your valuables some protection in style. It doesn’t have to be used strictly for business, but it will heighten your business attire game dramatically. Imagine strolling into the office with this around your shoulder.

The Dopp Kit
Also known as a shave kit, travel kit, or toiletry bag. Every beardsman needs one.
