A Non-Emasculating Carryall

So you've seen that Miller Light commercial where the presumably unmasculine dude who doesn't care about the taste of his beer is carrying a "carryall", and proudly proclaims as such. Then he gets clowned on for being unmasculine.

C'mon Miller Light, get real. No self-respecting straight guy carries a carryall like that, much less carry one over the shoulder. Carryalls shouldn't be completely damned. And I never understood why someone decided to label carryalls as femme, while messenger bags are OK. What is it about carrying a bag in your hand versus slinging one on your shoulder that makes it femme? I have no idea.

I recently came across this number by APC and I've come to a conclusion: it's OK for a straight guy to carry a carryall. It's just a matter of picking the right one and carrying it with the right amount of swag.
