Here are a couple pics of manly man Gerard Butler out and about on the streets of Greenwich Village here in NYC over the weekend sportin’ a nifty new man bag:

See, even a hunky slab of masculinity like Mr. Butler realizes that the man bag is an essential part of the modern man’s ensemble. Don’t you think the rough yet supple leather of his manbag offers the perfect accent to his overall manliness? The toothpick is nice touch as well. I feel I must salute Gerard Butler for helping to advance the state of manbagdom, showing dudes all around the world that yes, indeed, it is okay to rock the manbag!
