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".

Slick bastard.
