I just carry a purse. You can always find what you need in one…

If you really wanted to scare them, you should have said India.

My wife recently got me one of these. It’s a messenger bag but smaller. If I weren’t so manly, I would call it a man-purse. 
If it matters to you (it does to me) the logo tag is easily removable with a seam ripper.

If only he had learned the lessons of classic children’s literature. That’s quite a few more layers than Heidi wore up the mountain, and she overheated.
Chapter I—Up the Mountain to Alm-Uncle
…in spite of the hot June sun the child was clothed as if to keep off the bitterest frost. She did not look more than five years old, if as much, but what her natural figure was like, it would have been hard to say, for she had apparently two, if not three dresses, one above the other, and over these a thick red woollen shawl wound round about her, so that the little body presented a shapeless appearance, as, with its small feet shod in thick, nailed mountain-shoes, it slowly and laboriously plodded its way up in the heat.
…
The child, exhausted with the heat and weight of her thick armor of clothes, panted and struggled……….All at once she sat herself down on the ground, and as fast as her little fingers could move, began pulling off her shoes and stockings. This done she rose, unwound the hot red shawl and threw it away, and then proceeded to undo her frock. It was off in a second, but there was still another to unfasten, for Dete had put the Sunday frock on over the everyday one, to save the trouble of carrying it. Quick as lightning the everyday frock followed the other, and now the child stood up, clad only in her light short-sleeved under garment, stretching out her little bare arms with glee. She put all her clothes together in a tidy little heap, and then went jumping and climbing up after Peter and the goats as nimbly as any one of the party.

Judge you? Dude, that thing is awesome. My travel jacket pales in comparison; it only has eight pockets.

The Weed Jacket.
Comes in green?
I flew for work a little while ago and I packed everything into small laptop bag. I was in pain and misery the whole time both ways and arrived home with new back pain.
I hope the next time I fly in the U.S. it’s on the way permanently to somewhere else in the world (or out of this world … I need a lift, Doctor 
) . Between the TSA screenings, the airlines jacking up the fees so everyone brings a huge carry-on, and the airlines squeezing in extra columns and rows of seats in the airplanes, traveling by plane has gone from being slightly fun to being an unbearable ordeal.
If When I have to fly again, I think this jacket would be nifty. It’s bigger than my laptop bag and turns into a bag for TSA screening time. It looks like it has the same back-breaking issue as my laptop bag when it’s in bag-mode though. Two straps, please. 
On second thought, maybe Hermione can lend me a bag with an undetectable extension charm.

Don’t sit down on your laptop! That is terrible laptop placement.

The only thing stopping it being a 100% win is that it’s not a slanket.

Scott eVest products have gotten much better in terms of styling. The one big problem with them (which Is sort of inevitable) is that they are mostly worn by middle aged men (like me) who already have enough “around the middle” that a laptop, tablet and a few other gadgets added there don’t really help their silhouette.

Whenever the product comes up on this forum, I dutifully go to their website to look. What puts me off every time is that when I zoom in to look at their products closely, always switching to something like “tan” so I can really see it on my monitor, I notice how irregular the stitching is. It looks like the final project done for Home Ec in middle school.
Can anyone tell me if that’s an accurate perception of what they send out to customers?

I have one from like 20 years ago, so I can’t really speak to quality today, but the one I have is built pretty well - certainly up to standards of garments produced for most manufacturers.
