Green leather-trimmed tin cloth briefcase, £315, by Filson

Forest green, and tough as old boots, this is the Iron John of manbags: rugged, outdoorsy, a bit gone fishin’ for an urbane sophisticate such as myself. You’d need a hipster beard and a pair of Red Wings to carry it off. Nice, though. I’d use it on weekends. If I used a manbag on weekends, which I generally don’t, being an urbane sophisticate who’s never gone fishin’ in his life, and doesn’t intend to start now. Sorry to be boring, but I’m sticking with the briefcase. As Clint Eastwood once said, a man must know his limitations.
