10 Best Men’s Gear Blogs


It may seem counter-intuitive for us to be sharing other men’s gear blogs, but gear is important to us. Our love for gear is the sole reason why we started Man of Many. A site to celebrate products for men with a myriad of tastes and a preference for all things quality. That said, we don’t want you, our readers, to miss out on all the other cool shit out there. So we’re letting you know what’s in our personal feeds, flip boards, feedly and email inboxes. What we read on a daily basis and sites we can personally recommend are worth at least a visit. Each of these web magazines for guys has its pros and its cons in its own special way but we still love them all the same. So without further ado (yes, that’s spelt correctly. I checked.), here are the best men’s gear blogs you should be following right now.

1. Man of Many

In case you’re new around here, we also love gear. Founded by friends Scott Purcell and Frank Arthur, we’ve grown from a small-time blog to one of the largest gear websites in Australia, dedicated to showcasing the latest in products, culture and style. Conceived as a giant wish-list of all the cool gear a guy could possibly want, we cover everything from gadget reviews, the latest fashion styles, men’s interest articles, cool video and interviews with interesting people.

hiconsumption digital lifestyle magazine for guy

2. HiConsumption

The nerdy indie kids. HiConsumption does a great job of tracking down latest gear across a whole raft of interests. Similar to others, they cover the typical gadgets, fashion, vehicles and design but what we love about them most is their penchant for geeky products and gadgets. Think Lego, Star Wars, Marvel or DC Comics. And it’s neither lame nor cringe-worthy. They pull off this coverage with a touch of swagger, bringing class to the much-loved classics. They’ve also started doing some longer-form run downs and best-of’s which we’re loving.

gear patrol spirit of adventure passion for gear

3. Gear Patrol

The fanatical outdoor enthusiasts. Gear Patrol delivers some of the highest quality articles you can find online when it comes to coverage on the best gear. They’ve perfected the art of bringing print magazine-style layouts online with fresh, creative and often interactive stories. Upping their game when they decided to stop writing short-form articles on individual products, they now give easy to digest round-ups in their “Today in Gear” posts, covering five of their favourite releases from the day. I often think of the South Park episode, “Simpsons Already Did It” because it’s likely that Gear Patrol has too. Think of Gear Patrol as your life mentors for all the adventures you’ll undertake.

acquire

4. Acquire

The dudes at your party who exude cool without saying anything at all. Minimalistic in every sense of the word. They choose items you might not have taken notice of in the store or considered before but deliver them with a calculated consciousness that appeals to every facet of form, function, aesthetic and quality. Like a trance, Acquire’s simple presentation draws you in only to leave you wanting more. A site that remains immaculate without trying too hard.

Founded: 2006

web magazine for guys. bless this stuff

5. Bless This Stuff

The younger, more light-hearted younger brother of Acquire. The bold bright reds of Bless This Stuff bring a sense of celebration to the products it features. Exploring “the stuff we drool about”, they do a nice job of mixing in culture, architecture and interiors amongst the tech, cars and fashion. Simply put, you know what you’re getting when you visit Bless This Stuff: a whole bunch of interesting products without any fluff.

welcome to huckberry huckberry

6. Huckberry

The ‘Bear Grylls’ lumberjacks. More a store than a blog per se, if you check their About Us page we couldn’t have put described them better ourselves: “Huckberry is like your favourite store, your grandpa’s favourite store and your favourite magazine all rolled into one”. We got a chance to meet the founders, Andy and Richard, last year when they were in Sydney and we can tell you they do research properly, literally travelling the world looking for only the best products for men. From humble beginnings selling shoes out of their apartment, they’ve grown into an online behemoth challenging the traditional bricks and mortar stores and beating them at their own game. They’ve even got a Women’s shop just in case you’re worried about what to get that special someone.

cool material

7. Cool Material

The name says it all. It’s the simplicity of this site that makes it so brilliant. With an easy chronological layout and list format, since 2009 Cool Material has been serving up a selection of “everything that you might want to add to your life”. This is a true buyer’s guide that has a passion for gear at its core. They also host an assortment of great finds in their online store and have recently teamed up with The Awesomer to launch a collaborative site.

hypebeast online magazine and shop men fashion

8. Hypebeast

The kings of street-style cool. They’ve recently redesigned their site with a minimal look, bold headings and strong images. Founded in 2005 by Kevin Ma, he was sick of searching for the latest sneakers in print mags. Seeing how regularly tech and news blogs post, he wondered why fashion and men’s gear couldn’t be the same. Hypebeast now pumps out a ridiculous amount of content, but each and every post is a golden nugget of swagger. Since launching, they’ve expanded into Hypetrak that covers music and HBX. which is an online store. Their YouTube videos are well worth a visit/subscribe as well.

lifestyle news site covering sneakers streetwear street art

10. Highsnobiety

Swiss sneaker nut turned streetwear curator. Highsnobiety encompasses everything from fashion, sneakers, music, art, lifestyle and culture. Similar to Hypebeast, they pump out a crazy number of articles each day. Established way back in 2005, the site has proved so popular it now boasts other brand offshoots. They also host a wicked crazy comprehensive store guide that’s helped us discover new stores in our own city, an online store and style feed among its many platforms.

uncrate

10. Uncrate

The grandfather of gear who can seemingly do no wrong. Uncrate has an impeccable taste when it comes to choosing manly items. One of their criteria is clearly awesomely shot product photography with a vignette applied to each image giving the site a uniform look. Simply put, what you get from this site is consistency. They’ve also recently taken the bold step of venturing into real life with a quarterly print magazine.
