Thank you so much. I am going to take a look at the HAC. What colors would you recommend for a guy (I am a guy haha). I'm going to check out the Birken 40 as well. I am about 6 ft, which do you think would be better? I think the HAC looks a little funny with how stretched it is.

I don't mean this in a bad way at all, but are you sure it wouldn't look funny for a straight guy to carry one of these bags (birken/HAC)?

H1837....I believe there's more and more guys wearing Birkin and HAC these days. In Europe and Asia for sure but also in America. For your stature (6ft medium built) I think 40 is the best size and since you are tall, you will be able to carry a HAC. There's also size 50 but more like travel bag.
In order to know which one looks better you just need to try it on for sure or at least look at pictures (google: guy with birkin, etc) and also hermes fashion show video (not all featuring Birkin) then try to picture yourself carry it.

Good luck!! :-))

Thank you so much for all your help.

Can anyone recommend a store that will actually have some of this stuff in stock so I can check it out? I travel a lot, but it seems like they never have most of this stuff or if they do they will have it in one odd color.

Has anyone ever shopped at the Saint Honore store in Paris? Do they actually have a good amount of stuff in stock? I walked around in the store, but wasn't really interested in anything at the time so didn't talk to any SAs

What is an HAC? Could anyone post a picture of it?

I like the Birkin, but would feel a little uncomfortable carrying it. Is the large Birkin different in anyway from the womans purse?

What are the general thoughts on the Steve bag? I guess this bag isn't considered as coveted as a Birken or the others?

Hermes has yet to come up with THE men's bag of the same iconic stature as the Birkin. While I've a HAC 50 in Fjord Ebene and Fjord Graphite I don't consider these true "men's" bags in the pure sense of the meaning. The styles that have been introduced the past few years for men fall flat for me. They are so quiet as to be bland with no personality. Steve?! I don't think so!!To come up with an iconic timeless men's bag is a huge challenge...but I'm certain would be a huge success. If women will want to SO this style in women's colors then it would be a win-win for all!

Does Hermes make mens wallets? I have been looking in the boutiques and none seem to carry any mens wallet?

I don't have the best sense of whats fashionable, would it be bad to have a wallet that matched the bag?

Yes they do make wallets, rather more masculine one's that I think are made for men. They don't show up too much on the US website but you can find them in store. Currently on the UK website is the MC2 Copernic and the citizen twill. Also, I think the trusty 'ol Calvi is suitable for men too. Links below:
