Kristian LaliberteMarch 13, 2012, 9:30 PMWhether you say yay to man bags, or you're firmly in the nay camp, we think we'll get some bipartisan for Steve DeLong (pictured), who's dude clutches are pretty... well... clutch. We spotted the Director of Wholesale and Merchandising at Ernest Alexander (who you may remember from our want-it-need-it Reserve collab) carrying this bright orange Wax Banker's Zip Folio—a butch version of the c-word—at GQ's Style Bible party at the Jane last night. Intrigued by this sartorial risk taker, we quizzed DeLong and Alexander on all things man bag. Read on, and don't forget to vote yay or nay on this men's trend.AdvertisementHey man! Love that clutch—is it a man bag? "No, i like to refer to it as a professional, working man folio."So, not a clutch....a...portfolio?"Yeah, it's a bankers folio."Under your arm—is that the only way you wear it?"Yep, under my arm, tucked in."And do you have just one, or a couple?"Umm...I have http://www.moncleronsales.com/ a few of them. We have them in different colors so it's kinda just like a nice little fun accessory. A pop of color."So, what's in the bag, man?"What do I put in here?

[Editor's Note: I rudely start rummaging around inside] There's, like, nothing in here."There's not much in here. It was crammed earlier today but I dropped it down."But you just like carrying it out."I like carrying it. I put a few business cards, a little pop of color…"We get it—it's annoying having to cram everything in your pockets—but what do you think of other guys carrying portfolios? Do you think it's a trend?"I think so, definitely. I think guys are kind of like, not to use the word, it's kind of a clutch, but it's a folio. You know, like a portfolio."Advertisement It's like a clutch
