You know what would look kinda cool? Something like a Thorfinn or Freelander sporran, but bigger and with a strap that you could sling over your shoulder...

YES...........forget the full Mask Badger Sporran..........a full Badger Bag!!
That would be kinda cool, unless someone thought you were being attacked by a wild animal and tried to knock it off of you!!

I love it! You could make the straps out of the legs!

I've carried one of the healthy back bags from LL Bean for years. http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/sto...Id=1&langId=-1 (See top row).
If this is not big enough for what you are looking for then I'd try the Guys Stuff line of bags and backpacks from The Territory Ahead. No one is going to call one of these a "girly bag"

I think /that/ would look like a man purse. 
I carry a briefcase every day, so I try to minimize what I have to carry around at other times.

Something like one of these?

I have carried a briefcase or other bag for 40 years, and as a result I'm addicted to photographer's vests with 20+ pockets. They look a little funky with the kilt, but down-sizing to a sporran is a real challenge.
Those are some great looking bags to which everyone has linked. The canvas and leather look is classic, but the Peterman mailbag takes the cake!

Kinda, but bigger. Like, the size of a backpack. Also, with two straps instead of one.

I'll throw in my two cents here. I've carried bags of one kind or another for probably 20 years, at least. The one I like the best and the one I carry the most is my courier bag from Courier Ware. Check them out at www.courierwareusa.com. I have their size small and I'm constantly amazed by the amount of stuff I'm able to carry in it. In fact, I've been able to put so much stuff in it that I could barely lift it! We have a diaper bag that we use for the kids, but it usually stays in the car. When we get out and walk around somewhere I usually stuff a couple of diapers - bulky cloth diapers - in there with the rest of my things and we're good to go.
As for Indy bags (the Mk VII gas mask bag), I've had a couple that I bought years ago at Colonel Bubbies in Galveston for about $12 each. (When I saw what originals are going for now my eyes bugged out of my head!) They're good for small day bags. I still use the one I have left for when I want to carry my wallet, my small day planner, a few pens and pencils, a steno pad, a small rangefinder camera, and my reading glasses. Probably wouldn't work very well as a diaper bag, though. At least not for me.
Leather bags look really cool. BUT...leather is heavy, and a large leather bag is going to be fairly hefty even empty. That's something to consider if you're going to be hauling it around on your shoulder all day. My wife bought a great leather purse from a custom bootmaker, hand crafted to her specifications. It's maybe a couple of inches bigger than an Indy bag. After carrying it for a year she hates it. It's too heavy for her, even with only a little bit of stuff in it.
