WM Brown Magazine

WM Brown Magazine is the print extension of the William Brown Project, initially the blog underpinning the 'lifestyle experiment' of former ace photographer Matt Hranek. It's such a skilful mix of photography, fashion, interviews, recipes and travel writing that only a few years in, WM Brown is pretty much established at the top of this very competitive sector. Fulsome praise from Ralph Lauren can't have hurt, either.

The name is taken from William Brown Lane in in Upstate New York where Hranek bought the plot of land that kickstarted the idea. For all the magazine's sartorial and literary sophistication, it is this idea of a simpler life that defines the target reader for WM Brown, 'the guy who loves well-crafted and well-tailored things, simple food, a good story, an off-the-beaten path trip, a good hunt, a trout stream, European sports cars, pickup trucks, a well-made cocktail, or an unapologetic can of cheap lager beer.'

It's not always easy to buy a copy of WM Brown in these parts, so pick it up while stocks last.

About WM Brown #20, from the publisher:

'Summer 2025 is all about the roads less traveled and the stories not yet told. It tracks a gator hunt in Louisiana's Cajun Country, a vintage collector's secret stash in the hills of Chianti, and the inside story of a cult French liqueur made by monks. Also within its pages are a visit to one of the oldest tobacconists in the U.S., an homage to the easygoing style of mid-century Rome and a freewheeling conversation on life, writing and watches with legendary TV host Alton Brown.'
