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!
