Welcome to Be a Man

My buddies and I had a realization over the past year; there's a whole bunch of dumb assholes who think they are "The Man". From Frat Kids, to emo snowboarders, and guidos to gamer nerds you can find idiots who do a whole bunch of talking and not enough walking. We're here to change that. For some reason over the years, modernization of our culture has turned a bunch of us into pussys; 10 years ago every guy from age 4 to 18 played baseball during the spring and now we have professional gamers? Fuck that. It's now ok for a guy to get his hair fucking frosted and go tanning? Fuck that. We're here to end that shit. Being a man is about being yourself, being confident, and realizing failures are just steps to success. We're not asking you to be like us, because you will never be as awesome as us, we're just showing you and updating you what's going on today in a Man's world. After all nobody can keep up with everything, well except for us. We're gonna be talking about sports and lots of them. We'll talk about the newest technology coming out, from cars to cellphones to big TV's. Girls? You fucking bet we'll be taking about girls, the good the bad and the ugly, mainly the good. You know what else we'll be taking about? Everything. We're gonna do whatever it takes to make sure we cover everything about being a man; from fashion, because you have to look fresh, to politics, because you have to know what is going on around the world. No one likes a bullshitter.

I personally like to think of it as the James Bond approach, he was good at everything. Making drinks, picking up women, driving cars and kicking the shit out of people. He had wits and charm. And while most people can't be good at everything, we're not asking you to be like most people, we're asking you to step away from those idiots stuck in mediocrity.You wanna be man? Then step up and start taking notes. This is the start of a revolution.

Mad Men Suit


One show every man needs to watch is "Mad Men". It's on AMC, but don't let that fool you, it's an epic show. It's critically acclaimed and it was part of my inspiration for this blog. Essentially you follow the lives of a group of guys who work for an ad agency in New York City during the 1950's and 1960's. The show is spot on in terms of how people interact with one another, how much the guys drink, even the technology they use. Basically, it follows everything that happened and how society worked, to the "T". One of the biggest things that they get right (Besides all of the guys being complete Bad Ass) is the fashion. These guys don't dress down. They look down right fucking impressive and intimidating.

So while you can't be as bad ass as Donald Draper, you can now look somewhat like him. Brooks Brothers has released a custom edition Mad Men suit designed by Janie Bryant, the Emmy-nominated costume designer for the show. It's limited edition so you probably won't get your hands on it, but at least now you know what to aim for, so get sure your shit tailored and start running shit.

"Features include a noticeably slim cut, diagonal pockets, narrower notch lapels, and side vents. Limited to just 250, the suit is made in a Brooks-owned factory in Massachusetts, and while it might be more classically stylish than your current attire, don't expect it to magically turn you into Jon Hamm." -Uncrate.com
