Fantastic Man now takes the cake as my favorite fashion magazine. Printed on thick semi-gloss, textured paper it is as enjoyable to read as it is to hold. The fashion component of the magazine is bordering on runway only pieces, however it is kept down to earth enough to focus on styling anyone could pull-off: and make a definite statement doing so. Articles are written as if almost exclusively from an aesthetic standpoint, as opposed to a consumers(as is seen in many of the common menswear maagazines).
The suggestion of a leather blanket carrier was mentioned in there 9th issue, citing examples from classic high end companies, but focusing on a stunning piece from the English gun maker Purdey. Even when looking at a hunting company the carrier can be prohibitively expensive. After a long search I have found a variety of alternatives, some vintage military and very interesting, however I have settled on a carrier sold by Driving Essentials inc. (a carriage equipment company). It does not come with a blanket, and I think that this is best. The variety of camp stlye blankets is emmense and should be to your personal tastes (see: vintage HBC point blanket).
