    Big thanks to NutSac for partnering with me on this video!
    In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of www.iamalpham.com , www.AaronMarino.com , and www.peteandpedro.com is talking about the man bag. This video was in partnership with my favorite man bag company (NutSac).
    The man bag is increasing essential accessory in the modern man's style arsenal. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro goes over why you need a man bag, what makes a man bag a 'man bag', and how to pick one.
    Why You Need a Man Bag
    Alpha talks about the man bags he owns, and how a man bag has saved his life in the past. The bag has been functional (and incredibly valuable) and now it's becoming fashionable, comfortable, and advantageous rather than using pockets.
    Alpha discusses all of the crap that men carry around these days (not including computers): phones which are getting bigger, wallets, keys, headphones, phone chargers, shades, and gum / mints. With a man bag, your pockets are free from crap and you can carry stuff with style and class.
    What Makes a Man Bag
    Backpack - great for carrying heavy stuff. It's not a man bag!
    Traditional and Modern Briefcases - the super structured formal option isn't that functional for carrying stuff other than paper and pens, and you don't see them that much anymore. If you have a computer, a modern briefcase is used. Both aren't man bags!
    Messenger bags - not man bags either!
    Man Bag Options
    Where do you get a man bag? They are difficult to find- you can find messenger bags and computer bags but not a ton of man bag options!
    Diesel Bags- overpriced for the quality. Some are funky but quality is crappy.
    Nutsac Bags - the greatest name for a man bag! The bags are sassy, and Alpha gets tons of compliments on his bag.
    Like stylish shoes, you need a variety of options for a variety of situations. You can't just have a computer bag. He covers stylish options for man bags: small to large and casual to dressy. Alpha has a multiple man bags for different situations and outfits. It's like a super cool accessory.

    Hi there. My son is about to be seven and has an awesome man bag that is a mini version of the one my late husband wore. He lost it for a while and recently found it again and is both excited to wear it and worried that the girls will think he's carrying a purse. I googled for pictures of men wearing man bags to alleviate some of his concern. We came across your video and he's watched it multiple times. I know we are not your target audience, but I want you to know that your video has given confidence to a little boy who has to figure out soooo many of these things without dad around. Truly, thank you.

      It's good that your son learns to not worry about what other people will think of him, how he styles himself, or how he carries himself. I wish I had learned this when I was younger, and I wish I was taught better. Anyways, now that I'm older, I have taken pride in being the best dress guy in the room, even where I work (and I have been mistaken as the manager multiple times, and when I got hired for my recent job the manager thought I was the health inspector). Alpha definitely helped boost my confidence, and I hope Aaron will empower your son when he understands more of the way the world works. Good luck!

    I picked up a raggedy old army ammunition bag at a flea market this past summer. It's basically a messenger bag. My buddies had a great time with it at first. They teased me over it endlessly. I absolutely could not live without it. My days are long and busy. It's great to have everything I need to make it through the day.

      Great men in history who carried BAGS from daily work to war, also known as Sporrans, possibles bags, possibles pouches, hunting or fowler bag, black powder & shot bags, a farmer's seed sowing bag, ... all are early patterns for the now messenger and laptop bags of today.
      Consider a bag to carry daily items actually a MAN'S wardrobe item, not a woman's. Why?? >> Remember: Men were the hunters and gatherers needing a BAG. The women did not have a need to carry a bag since they were not usually travelling out from the camp or the village. They used BASKETS for their on-site purposes.
      The women cared for the children, prepared food, made clothing and home preparations -- they did not need a bag like men.
      Men had bags first. Add that to your tool belt of knowledge.

    Great job Alpha,
    Been carrying one for two years now and have never looked back. Built up a collection to match shoes and belts. I am of European origin and am used to calling them bags... I hear you on the meds. On the sartorial and accessories side, extra shoelaces and spare fountain pen ink cartridges are also a must. The biggest benefit, however, is the pristine condition in which carrying a bag leaves your clothes, as pockets are not weighed down and battered by stuff… If you get the hang of it and run with it, it’s a whole different world.
    Keep up the good work...

    Aaron, thank you for this video! It articulates all the thoughts I have whenever someone attacks my manhood because I carry a man-bag. I will now reference this vid to all the haters who can't admit they need one. I cannot tell you all the times I have been glad to have an on-hand place for my daily essentials; I never leave the house without one. Plus carrying a man-bag adds that little elevation to one's style that just makes a statement. Gotta love 'em.

      Those look so sloppy if canvas!! I gave my ex one to ride his bike, and now the leather has aged looks so beautiful.
      A nice thing is when a man's bag is more vertical rather than horizontal. Optically tends to fade and look smaller.
      Ditch the canvas, doesn't look cool.

    fun fact: man-bags have been a thing in the Philippines since as early as 2005. At the time it felt a little weird but the "messenger bag" was trendy among white collar guys. Japan might have been doing it earlier as indicated by the popularity of high-end brands such as Louis Vuitton selling options for men. however in Manila, it often was either a carrier of a guy's PDA or primitive smartphone, a few toiletries, and a planner. Pretty minimalist.

THANK YOU for the insight. Comfort has improved incredibly for me as far as all the accessories I carry daily. My pockets are really free . I was skeptical at first when I thought of it but now I'm super hype with them. First day I used the brown NutSac and right out the door got a complement. Now I just had to spend $260 more on 2 more bags cause my son just fell in love with the aspect and the look and how much attention and comfort the bag bring to your life.

    I know this video is 8 years old but thank you for putting it out. I started using one when I travel but recently decided to use one all the time. It so much easier to carry your phone, keys, wallet, meds, sunglasses and more. I have never liked keeping my phone in my pocket. Years ago i used to wear a belt with a phone pouch to carry my phone. Now i wear suspenders cause I have NO butt to keep up my pants that used to sag in the back. With no place to put a phone pouch carrying a bag made that much easier. I actually use 2 different bags. I have the man bag dammit by nutsac for my daily walks, its a little smaller and just right for a walk. I use the Magsatch 11 by nutsac for everything else. I'm 63, and used to be self conscious about carrying a bag. Now I don't care, I carry what I need and I'm happy.

    More men should just let go of their hangup with carrying a bag. Purses, bags, satchels, whatever you call them, are so functional, and it feels more secure than sticking something in your back pocket. As a woman I can't imagine carrying everything I need in my pockets.
