A couple of years ago we wrote an article on the gentleman’s guide to the calling card. It’s one of our most popular posts on the site, and we often get emails from readers inquiring where they can get a set of manly looking calling cards. We toyed with the idea of creating our own set of AoM-themed calling cards for awhile but never really took action on it. But with the help of Eric Granata, the man who does the design work for AoM, we’ve finally created a line of handsome, manly looking calling cards that you, dear reader, can customize with your own personal information.
Eric has whipped up 9 different manly calling card designs that you can select from depending on your taste. We’ll be releasing more designs further down the road. Once you pick which design you like, simply customize your personal information and hit order. It’s that easy. A pack of 100 cards will set you back $25. Not too shabby.
The cards come in varying sizes. We have some designs that use the standard business card size of 3.25″x2″. Other designs use the larger calling card size of 3.25″x2.5″.
Here are a few more examples of the AoM Calling Cards available for purchase:
John L. Sullivan Calling Card
This is one of my favorites.
Front
Back
Art of Manliness Framed Calling Card
This is a neat card. You can use the back to write a quick note to whomever you’re giving the card to. Appointment reminders, phone numbers, etc.

Have you ever been telling your friend about the Art of Manliness website and wished you had something to give them so they could look it up later? With this card you can not only pass along your vitals, but you can help spread the word about the site.

The top hat / boxer one is my favorite.
My favorite calling card is the John L. Sullivan Calling Card. All of them are beautiful though, and Manly.
Definitely the framed one! Very classy.
I like the AoM Framed calling card. Having the lines on the back makes people more comfortable with writing on the card (as if you were saying they should), because they can write a note about you on the card! Simples!
My favorite card is the framed calling card. I think the other ones would be excellent if I was associated with this website; however, I would rather have a picture that better reflected a specific aspect of my life.
I do concur that these are most sophisticated, and particularly like the one with the lined back. When i do give out cards, I like to make a note on them so the person knows what we were talking about or what brought us together.
Few things are more frustrating then someone contacting on Facebook or over the phone and you don’t remember where you met them.
The framed calling card has class.
The framed calling card is the way to go
How timely! I just finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo and calling cards are mentioned a couple of times. I like the traditional size/shape more than the business card. While I agree that the card with the lines on the back is a nice touch my preference would be the AOM design (more room for personal info on the front) or the Fisticuffs design (blank back also suitable for jotting down info)
These are great! I like the framed calling card the best.
Gotta go with the framed calling card on this one!
Tough decision but I’d have to say the John Sullivan is my favorite. Classy but a little zest on the flip side.
I really like Gentleman B. It conveys elegance and it does the owner justice. It takes a well-rounded man to give cards such as these.
I think the framed calling card is definitely my favorite.
Just found your website a couple days ago and love it! It’s just what the world needs and just when it needs it most. Personally I like the simple elagance of the framed card. Twenty plus years ago I had a friend that worked in a print shop. Back then I had both calling cards and a fedora. A year or so ago I picked up some business card blanks made from wood veneer material. My intention was having calling cards made. Trouble is I can’t find anybody willing to print on them.

i like the 2nd one best
I like the calling cards with the blank lines for comments or notes the best because I find myself often wanting to add a personal touch to everyone that makes them feel singled out and unique.
I personally advocate for the Victorian Gentleman card. Quite handsome indeed.
I like the framed card as it recalls an earlier era, a more elegant time. The back of the card is very effective for leaving notes and other information.
The framed is my choice. Very classy.
I really like the victorian gentleman card.
John L Sullivan would be my personal favorite
I definitely like the framed card the best. The simplicity and versatility are great.
The Art of Manliness Calling Card is the Chuck Norris of all calling cards! NICE 1!
The Framed, by far, is my favorite, especially with the lines for a note or two on the back.
My favorite is definitely the framed card.
I enjoy the card with the frame looking all 1930′s!
I really like the framed calling card the best, because it doesn’t have the artwork of the men on it and because it has lines on the back for messages. While I love the look of the cards with the men on them, I think they come off as a little schmaltzy. I want something that looks dignified, and I think the framed calling card fits that bill the best.
The Victorian Gentleman Business Card is really nice, I like this one best.
My favorite would have to be the tan boxer one. Pure class.
I like the artofmanliness framed calling card. Very classy.
Once again another great idea.
Thank you for every little post on this website.
I personally like the Fisticuffs and Art of Manliness styles. Both show the besuited gentleman and the boxer, and both would nicely announce the arrival of my moustache.
The framed one is nice especially when giving it to a new social acquiantences since you can put in a little message to jog the memory. It was great meeting you at the blah blah, which then can remind them of who you when they look at it later.
I am def a fan of the framed one. Very classic and the small area for a note on the back makes scrawling on your card classy instead of cliche.
The framed card is definitely my favorite; It’s simple, practical, and appropriate for any situation. Rock on.
I really do prefer the Art of Manliness Framed Calling Cards.
The John L. Sullivan card is fantastic. The others are also very good, but that one would be my choice.
I like the framed one the best. I like the lines on the back to add personalized notes.
I like the Victorian Gentleman the most. Very dignified!
I like the Victorian Gentleman B.
It has enough space to put what I need on it, and it is nice and understated. Just a bit of unique, but not overbearing.
Would like to see more images but love the functionality of the framed design.
Favorite has to be the framed, but the John L. Sullivan is a close second.
The Framed calling card.
I do think that the framed one has that touch of distinction a proper gentlemen requires.
The framed one is my favorite. It’s a great idea to have a space to write things on.
If I don’t win, I’ll definitely be buying a set.
I like the Art of Manliness Framed alling card…the lines on the back for an addition note are a grreat idea!
The John L. Sullivan Calling Card is definitely my favorite. I love the elegance of the font and the wear of the card.
I dig them all. I think my favorite would have the front of the Sullivan card and the back of the framed card.
I personally like the Victorian Gentleman Business Card best.
Victorian Gentleman Business Card. I want to give these to my patients.
I’m quite fond of the Victorian Gentleman card. These are a great idea!
My favorite is the Art of Manliness framed calling card.
I like the “The Victorian Gentleman B” social card. But I like all of the others. What about having a subset of each card as a combination pack?
The framed card or as the jpeg calls it “callingcard4″ is functional, classically styled, and timeless in it’s character. It’s lack of any other detail highlights the information meant to be left behind and only magnifies the mystery of the man who graced you with it.
The framed card is the one I like best.
I really like the Victorian Gentleman B card.
I’ve already sent an order for the John Sullivan card on linen. I think it has that antiquated aesthetic with a touch of modern design, which is the kind of style I’m trying to build for myself. Well done on the cards; I’m positive I’ll be back to order another one or two hundred!
I’d have to say my favorite is the tan John L. Sullivan calling card. Hopefully I’ll get some soon!
Definitely the framed card!!
Mmmm, tough decision. The card on the top of the page is excellent, though I would not mind having a few of the framed calling cards, also. The victorian gentleman comes in a close third.
I think the Victorian Gentleman is the pure definition of Manliness. Good manners, etiquette, well dressed etc…maybe adding the note lines on the back would be a good addition?
I like the framed calling card the best. It looks less commercial.
I believe I would ooze manliness if I were to own a set of the framed calling cards. The lines on the back are great for giving someone an appointment reminder, address, piece of my mind, etc.
I love the look of all of these! It was really hard to pick, but the John L. Sullivan calling card appeals to me the most. It’s a neat design and the paper looks great. I’ve been looking for a new calling card and these might be my new ones.
I like the Victorian Gentleman B!
My own tastes gravitate toward the Victorian Gentleman Business Card.
I like the gentleman and fighter aspect of the Fisticuffs Calling Card.
The framed card really makes me want to buy some. I love them. Good work guys.
The framed one in a larger size is both elegant and fantastically functional.
Definitely the AoM Framed card.
Another fan of how suitable the framed one is for either gender. I’ve been looking for something similar, with space on the back for a notation, and have not found one both attractive and affordable! Wonderful!
My favorite is the Art of Manliness Victorian Gentleman Business Card.
I would say that I prefer the John L. Sullivan card, the one in the center of the page.
The victorian gentleman and framed cards are my two favorites.
I like the framed or the fisticuffs, probably both 200 cards aren’t too many, right? Large size in linen, very classy.
They’re all great but I’d probably get the framed one or the faded John Sullivan one.
I like the Victorian Gentleman calling card the best.
THe Victorian Gentleman is best – a true classic!
I like the Framed and the fisticuffs cards the best. Very nice design work overall!
I like them all, it would be hard to choose If I won.
I am a fan of the Victorian Gentleman business card. Simple and classy.
Very nice. Love the idea of having a place to write a note or appt on the back.
I’m loving, loving, loving the fisticuffs calling card!
I like the framed calling card. It has this vintage functionality aspect that is awsome.
I like the framed calling card. It has this vintage functionality aspect that is awesome.
I am digging the John L. Sullivan Calling Card with the line drawing on the back.
Would love to see one with just the victorial gentleman on it as well.
I really would like to see the John L Sullivan card!!
I like the victorian gentleman the best.
The Victorian Gentleman B would have to be the one which suits my tastes the most. While I appreciate the duality of the Fisticuffs calling card, and while it helps counter the assumption that all forms of physical violence must by definition be malicious, I don’t think all recipients of the card would appreciate this same message.
The John L. Sullivan is definitely top of the list on manly calling cards for me.
I like the Victorian Gentleman card the best, but the framed card comes in close second!
I’m a big fan of the framed calling card, I really like the idea of being able to leave a more personalized note on the back. The John L. Sullivan comes in a close second for me!
I like the framed one.
I like the Victoria Gentleman card the best. I’d love to be handing those out with my details on them!
For me, it’s the Victorian Gentleman. I’m not a fighter (unless pushed) and since 7 of the designs include fisticuffs… well, it’s a 50/50 choice for me.
i’ll admit, the john l sullivan business card (in that antique looking parchment paper) looks the coolest, but for utility, the Art of Manliness Victorian Gentleman Business Card just beats all. classy and functional!
I think the Victorian Gentleman Business card is the best; simple, elegant, and blank on the back to write notes or numbers.
I favor the Fistcuffs calling card.
I may be too late for the contest, but I really appreciate these efforts.
Thank you
Ron
