There are two online man magazines I think should be mentioned on this for one of the best. The two are called uncrate.com and there thinker.com

Pretty spot on. Although AoM blows them all out of the water.

BUT, I totally disagree with the AoM guide to buying jeans. “Here’s the AoM Guide: Step 1-Try on jeans you like. Step 2-Buy them” as opposed to the Men’s Health guide (which I haven’t read.) It seems to me this could be an AoM article. And I don’t think Antonio would agree with your guide either. I have read and enjoyed AoM articles on picking the right coat, hat, and how to wear clothes properly. I like AoM’s focus on quality vs quantity and I like your focus on being “classic” While your tips to buying jeans are obvious and could be applied to EVERYTHING, (Step 1. Pick the Men’s Mag you like. Step 2. Buy it.) I prefer the informative approach. There are of coarse huge differences in denim quality, style and cut. Jeans are classic and certainly manly. Frankly knowing how to choose the right pair of jeans is probably more practical then knowing whether it’s fedora weather.

Every man is going to buy and wear jeans from time to time so a little insight on the matter is not a “CON” in my opinion.

So is it safe to say that most of them portray a lifestyle that is unattainable? If so, I see little value in any of them. Is this an incorrect assessment?

First of all cudos to the over all great quality of The art of Manliness! I recently stumbled upon it and it has now becomes one of my go-to sites for a good read. What you’re doing is really great and I love your approach. I can’t help but notice though, that the writers seem to hold a huge grudge against anything hip or hipster. It seeps through the writing and I find it, well, a bit childish. While I’m not much of a hipster myself I must acknowledge that many great musicians, writers, and thinkers, some who have been written about here, were decidedly hip for their time. Was not much of what is considered classy today was once lavish hip fashion?

I never knew there was such a thing as a $4,000+ umbrella. Heck I’d be downright afraid to get it wet. Also Kanye West is a little boy not a man. Any magazine that rates him among their men of the year will not be getting any of my money.

Sirs -

I must heartily second the earlier (and, presumably, British) posters, and recommend The Chap magazine – http://www.thechap.net – it has interviews, recommendations as regards alcohol, pipe tobacco and books, historical articles and style tips.

You can also look on Amazon for The Chap Manifesto and The Best of the Chap, which latter book also contains that wonderful and scholarly article “The lost art of doffing”.

Keep up the good work on the Art of Manliness!

Joke: What’s the difference between a Men’s Magazine and a Woman’s Magazine?

Both have pictures of pretty woman….they are just wearing less clothing in the mens’ mags…..
