{"title":"Tote Bags for Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003etote bag for men\u003c\/strong\u003e is the easiest bag to grab on the way out the door. It has an open, roomy body, handles that sit comfortably on the shoulder and enough space for a laptop, a notebook and a lunch without the bulk of a backpack. The totes in this collection cover two directions: leather totes with a structured, work-ready look, and canvas totes built for daily errands, commutes and weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLeather or canvas tote?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather gives a tote shape and presence. Crazy horse cowhide in particular scuffs and darkens with use, so a leather tote bag for men looks better after a year of carrying than it did on day one. Canvas is lighter and more forgiving. Waxed canvas sheds light rain and wipes clean, and plain canvas with leather trim keeps the weight down for days when the bag carries a lot. Pick leather if the tote also has to look right in an office. Pick canvas if it will be thrown in a car, a locker or an overhead bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look for in a men's tote bag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the closure. An open tote is fast, but a zip top keeps your laptop and wallet inside when the bag tips over on a train seat. Next, look at the handles and strap: handles should be long enough to carry on the shoulder, and a removable crossbody strap lets you go hands free in a crowd. Finally, check the pockets. A tote with no interior organization turns into a pit, so look for at least one zip pocket and a place for your phone and keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompare the styles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eTrade-off\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZip-top leather tote with crossbody strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrazy horse cowhide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOffice, commuting, travel days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavier than canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaxed canvas zip-top tote with removable strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaxed canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaily carry, weekends, wet weather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSofter shape, shows creases\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUtility canvas tote with pockets and leather trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanvas with leather trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErrands, gym, casual carry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen top, less secure than a zip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping a tote in good shape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor leather, wipe the bag with a dry cloth, condition it once or twice a year and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. Do not stuff it past its shape, because overloaded handles stretch first. For canvas, brush off dry dirt and spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sun.
