Do you guys think a Mick is too casual for an office environment?

I have a PDV that I carry to work when I wear a suit or sport coat so I don't tear up the shoulders on my jackets. I was wanting either the Mick or District to use when I was just wearing just a shirt and tie or in a more casual setting like souvenir shopping on vacation, weekends, etc.

I don't think it is too casual as long as the office environment allows shirt and tie (as opposed to requiring a suit). It is certainly not a direct briefcase alternative, but I do think the Mick would pass muster in a business-casual environment as well as other messenger bags would. And of course, it would be excellent for shopping/vacation/weekends etc.

By the way, I, too, have a PDV that I use in more formal business situations. I would not feel comfortable using the PDV on "casual Fridays" or when not wearing a suit...to say nothing of trying to carry the PDV shopping! This is where a Mick would suit you well.

My concern was accessing the District while standing to grab my umbrella or something like that. That the flap opening towards you would be 'in the way' due to the way it would open. I also felt the zippers on the Mick would prove more secure should the bag fall over, etc.

I'm basically only considering the DG pattern since it goes best with the clothing I wear and matches my other LV items.

Anyone with a Mick MM have a picture of how the bag looks when carried? I haven't completely discounted the District, but would love to see how the Mick looks also on a similar sized guy.

The only boutique near me has to special order all men's stuff. They carry none in store except billfolds. So I basically have to make my mind up without seeing in real life.... which sucks :(

I think I just saw mick GM and it's really huge. Went to try PM and it was too small. I'm 5ft6ish btw...

Agree here- it's suitable for short and tie plus casual. I also have a PDV GM and an Icare that I use for more formal.

To answer the earlier question, it is 17" across but it's kind of misleading because it does taper and mold to your body so that it is not a massive structured cross body. I love my Mick MM. It's definitely part of my collection that I won't ever part with.

I really like both the District and the Mick. I have neither since I'm a small woman and have no need for either at this time in my life. But to my eye the District is more professional and the Mick is more casual. The District can go from professional to casual but the Mick can't go from casual to professional as easily. Just my opinion. I certainly don't believe you can go wrong with either one.

In my opinion, the Mick is a casual bag. It doesn't suit a formal attire. It looks like a sack hanging on the body. District can work both casual and formal. -But this is just my personal opinion ;)

I think at the end of the day, the Mick MM is a great bag- whatever the ocasión or if it's appropriate with your look depends also on where you reside. Style and fashion vary even between Northern and Southern California, let alone from country to country, city to city.
