Thank you for your comment. I now appreciate it more because of what you said. But I need to find the courage to wear it with the leather sangles/touret in its usual place infront. I carry my kelly with the leather sangles/touret hidden behind the flap. I think hiding it looks more masculine.hehe or maybe it's just me.

Much of the beauty of the Kelly is it's minimalism. With that being said, every detail and component has been extremely thought over in order to maintain it's timeless quality and beauty. If I had a Kelly, I would let the straps rest or dangle so that they peek from under the flap as seen in many pictures. There are those here that would say this may cause undesired stress on the turnlock so I suggest you exercise caution and do that when it's light weight or just lock one strap on the outside or inside and let the other rest under the flap to peek out. It's a shame you're hiding that beautiful hardware that gives the bag it's very special identity.

If you carry it in a masculine way then you should have no problem whether you show the straps or not..just don't wear it on the crook of your arm if masculinity is a concern to you. At the end of the day, wear it how you want to wear it and think nothing of what others may or may not think. It's all about your happiness not the happiness of others. :D Show us more pics of your bag in action. It truly is very rare to see men with such an exquisite bag.

+1 Amen to that!! I also think that the Kelly because of its minimalist design, is quite suited to men, but most guys commonly associate the Kelly to be a woman's bag (maybe because of the name) and also the history.... Let's break this stereotype of the Kelly to be a woman's bag and prove everyone wrong... Once I save up enough to buy one!! :graucho:

there should a few at ebay and other resellers, usually I would rather purchase pre-loved ones.

My SA also recommended me to buy Kelly. She said HAC 40 is heavier and bulkier!
