Since I seem to travel a lot, lots of folks ask me what bag I use to carry all my gadgets in…
Actually, this is just in response to Judie Lipsett’s recent Gear Diary review of a pretty sexy courier bag. I’ve mentioned why I don’t like courier bags before. But she asked me what bag I use if I don’t like flappy things.
It’s actually a bag made by Jeff Banks who you’ve never heard of and is actually better known for making fashionable clothing. But it is the damn perfect gear bag/laptop case/man bag/brief case for me. I don’t have time to explain the details of the materials and other things so I’ll just get to the pics:
Yes, it can stand up on it’s own.
Yes, my socks don’t match. And the bag is slim enough to be really slim, yet can fill up like a black hole, accordion style due to the genius design of it’s pockets.
Front pocket is divided into two simple compartments.
Oh and has room in the back for pens and other gadgets, and then room behind that for another giant zipper pocket.
The back pocket has lots of room and just a simple mesh divider which you can zip up (and I never do).
Ah, and then on the front, there is this extra quick-pocket thing (I just made that up). Perfect for stuff you forgot to put in your bag and great for temporary holdings, like… going through security at airports (empty your pockets into this).
For size comparison, this thing fits easily under every airline seat I’ve sat behind. And as I have mentioned earlier:
I wear a US size 9 shoe. And I can fit my entire studio in this bag, including the desk.
I have no idea if you can even buy this bag anymore, if you find it online, send me a link so I can pimp it better

Gah – that’s an ugly bag, but I am fearing it … as requested!
And I am still chuckling over your unmatched socks. 
Dude(tte), this bag is super-sexy in real life! Cameras simply can’t catch its magic allure.
You’d have to see it in person. I get compliments on it all the time.
Yesterday was laundry day. That’s my only excuse for mismatched socks (it’s morning here in Japan, which explains the socks from yesterday).
Too bad you won’t be in Vegas for CES. Then I could witness the awesomeness in person. Until then, I remain skeptical.
You’ll just have to ask any of my colleagues who are going to CES if they have witnessed the awesomeness. Otherwise, you’ll just have to come to an electronics show in Tokyo.
Now *there’s* a thought …
