Out of pockets, try a leather satchel

Commuting can be a real hassle if you’re a man.  My biggest battle everyday is getting to work and still having everything I left with.  Even filling every pocket, I generally run out of them and feel ridiculous with bulges at every corner.  My wife suggested a briefcase, but the image of Ward Cleaver coming home and handing June his briefcase made me shudder.  A few weeks ago I noticed a man carrying a leather satchel across his back.  Not a dirty courier bag, but a really nice leather bag.  Getting off the train a few days later I came to face to face with the exact same bag in a storefront window at the station.  The next morning I bought one.  Before the train arrived I emptied every pocket on me into the bag and barely filled one compartment.  I don’t know how I lived without it.
