A touch too mlutch?

It's not all that 'out there', if you think about it. Men have briefcases, satchels, man-bags in all shapes and sizes... The man clutch, or 'mlutch' if we wish to make it a bit snappier, was always in the pipeline. Nowadays, it's not simply a case of stuffing your wallet in your right-hand trouser pocket. You've got your mobile phone too (OK, OK, so that could go in the left-hand pocket...) But then what about your car keys? iPod? Epi-pen?! That last one is doomed to be just little pinhead me, but the concept of the mlutch isn't such a farcical notion if you consider it. The Father, with his stoic and unwaveringly traditional sensibilities, would no doubt tell me to "grow a pair".

I think the trick is to keep it simple, sharp, straight-edged. A little like The Father. He'd be honoured. If you get it spot on, you might be lucky enough to look nearly as ice cool as Francesco Cominelli...


Slick bastard.

  1. You should defo get one of those badboys. (I mean the mlutches rather than the models, but if it's like a two-for-the-price-of-one type deal, then that's a bonus innit!)
