Oh no member, i have a vision of pink patent brogues, with his work suit. Frilly knickers under his boxers?

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:22

he bought himself a hideous swirly jacket for work before christmas, i told him it was too ott, esp for work, but i said if you want to wear that it's upto you, i should have bloody stopped him then.
it is not where near as hideous as this manbag though, oh sorry document bag.

he also spends hours online looking at clothes,and he loves going shopping, yes i know hes looking at clothes as hes sitting next to me and i can see what hes doing, and he is def not gay.
he just seems really into shopping and clothes

i told him just look at this thread 100 people agree its horrible, and your going ot look silly, very silly indeed

DH says that is the sort of bag that a person would carry pressed-flowers in.

Draw your own conclusion.

AnyFucker · 03/02/2012 22:23

saying he must be gay for buying that piece of tat is an insult to gay people

they usually have more taste than that

minceorotherwise · 03/02/2012 22:23

It's a girls bag. How old is he?

garlicfrother · 03/02/2012 22:23

YANBU - he should have bought the next one instead (deerskin).

But, having read your subsequent posts about quirky suits and his yen for a 1940s gangster fur coat, I quite like him. The deerskin would've been too ornery for his purpose, I feel.

Good for him!

Plus, this gives you carte blanche for your pick of Mulberry's finest, doesn't it? Enjoy Grin

BendyBob · 03/02/2012 22:24

What colour did he get?? It's very Naked Civil Servant.

Nesbo · 03/02/2012 22:24

1: bag = horrendous
2: tone of thread = a little bit Daily Mail (them gayers do like their shiny baubles and shit!)

marriedinwhite · 03/02/2012 22:24

Lynettescavo that's similar to DH's - the turd - he spent £200.00. Actually I might order one of those for DS - I wouldn't mind one either.

WMDinthekitchen · 03/02/2012 22:24

Oh dear, I'mgoingto oh dear, oh dear! He didn't buy it for you did he? It is truly tacky and horrid. I would be weeping with fury and frustration.

pictish · 03/02/2012 22:24

Dh thinks that all the claims that the bag is 'gay' is an insult to gay people.

He thinks your dh ill and needs help.

Francagoestohollywood · 03/02/2012 22:25

much better in the tan colour!

countessbabycham · 03/02/2012 22:25

OP I think you should embrace your DH's individuality and love him all the more for it.
Putting aside the disgraceful waste of money,I feel like a bit of a playground bully,ripping him to shreds for daring to be different.

minceorotherwise · 03/02/2012 22:26

Mind I quite like that he faces it out and just goes with what he likes and gets on with it. It's you I feel sorry for OP!!! Can you walk a few feet behind him and his fur coat and bejewelled accessories?

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 03/02/2012 22:26

I can't think of anything PC to say. My 70's upbringing is itching to be let out Grin

Fairyliz · 03/02/2012 22:26

I have worked in local government for 33 years and have never seen a man or woman carrying a bag like this! Most men think a brown briefcase is a bit racy!

LynetteScavo · 03/02/2012 22:26

The tan is less offensive.

member · 03/02/2012 22:26

Goingforgoal yes! Or some shiny gold hi-tops? Have you got a link to the swirly jacket? Blush

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 22:27

It's still not 1100 quid good in tan though, it's more than a little tacky and I'm a big fan of expensive handbags.

MilkNoSugarAndAShotofWhisky · 03/02/2012 22:27

That's really really bad....really god awful!!

MAYBE WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SHOUTING ON EVERY SINGLE THREAD YOU WRITE ON?

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:28

oh god, please don't get me started on what sort of shoes he likes, the amount of times ive had to tell him not to buy hideous shoes.

he likes croc skin type shoes.
and ones that are sort of pointy but with square toes, yuk!

OP posts:
Francagoestohollywood · 03/02/2012 22:28

You know what, I think I actually really like it in the tan version.
I think your dh is quite cool. I mean why settle for a nylon document bag?

GreenEyesAndHam · 03/02/2012 22:29

Listen my husband chose a Barbie pink mountain bike, and has a wont to grow facial hair that makes him look like one of the Village People. I get it.

The problem for me would be the massive spend. Oh and the fugliness. Mainly the fugliness.

Francagoestohollywood · 03/02/2012 22:29

However, no, no, pointy but square toe shoes are hideous, tell him I won't tolerate those!

joanofarchitrave · 03/02/2012 22:29

OK I'll be honest, it is growing on me.

The price is still Shock to me but then I don't own a handbag myself.

I think he should go for the fur coat as well, why the hell not? Are we human or are we dancer? [still get grammar wince every time at that but I applaud the sentiment]
