Don't Leave Home Without It

Leather Duffle Bag by Coach

Whether running to the gym or jumping on the Acela to New York, every man needs a nice piece of luggage to complete his journey. I recommend the simple duffle bag. Duffles can store a lot of stuff, from your dop kit (you do know what a dop kit is, don't you?), to jeans, shoes and socks and other items needed for an overnight or two.

Many high-end leather manufacturers as well as department stores carry nice travel bags for all budgets. The bag featured above, called the Large Cabin Bag by Coach, retails for $648. If you're a thrifty shopper, you can find great deals on all sorts of bags, travel and otherwise, at Ebags.com. Once there, one of the classic leather duffles you'll find is made by Piel and sells for $276. If that is still too pricey, you can check out Luggage.com and find bags for as little as $29.99.

Whatever your budget, every man needs a quality bag for those quick jaunts. Whatever you do, don't use a canvas or nylon gym bag as your duffle... That's just inexcusable for anyone over the age of 18. Duffles are small, lightweight and very fashionable and are an easy way to add style to your game. Don't leave home without yours.
