Looking for a way to carry your stuff without becoming known as the man who carries the man purse? All this week at the Satchel Pages we’ve been featuring hidden man purses. And so far, we’ve seen how you can hide a man purse by stuffing one under your jacket, under your arm, on your [...]

Hide a man purse under your arm or over your ankle

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

Today, more man purses that can keep their mugs shut — this time culled from the rough-and-tumble world of tactical-response gear.

First up: the Covert Radio Holster from Arktis North America. Yes, it’s built for a two-way radio, but it doesn’t take a modder to realize that one of these could make a great holder for [...]

Hidden Man Purse Week continues today with a rugged, sporty, and flexible option for keeping your man-purse habit a closely guarded secret.

At last we come to the third and final chapter of our web-based attempted partial reenactment of actual man-purse shopping exploits originally performed by a real-life journalist: Justin Schneider of the Jackson, Michigan, Citizen Patriot.

Our retracing of Justin Schneider’s non-pursey man-bag shopping expedition continues (you can read part one here):

The man purses that aren’t really man purses — Part 1

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Earlier this week we faulted Jackson Citizen Patriot writer Justin Schneider for being a man-purse-denial enabler.

He wrote a feature article about man purses, we [...]
