Whether you fancy yourself a rugged individual, or simply want to dress like one, this is your season, and our fall men’s issue is here to guide the way. It starts with our cover star, Stephen Dorff, who in the course of his career has played a Beatle, a vampire, a transvestite, and in Sofia Coppola’s upcoming film, “Somewhere,” an actor whose career is on cruise control but whose life is about to veer into a ditch. Elsewhere in the issue, Jim Lewis visits the legendary photographer Bruce Davidson, whose Brooklyn Gang series from the 50’s still clicks today; Holly Brubach revisits the work of Gay Talese, the man who practically reinvented sports writing; and David Knowles hops in a truck with Mister Mort and Jay Carroll in search of great American style. And speaking of trips, Steve Pulimood drops in on the artists Justin Lowe and Jonah Freeman as they transform an icon of modernist design into a swinging LSD safe house.
On the fashion front, the Charles Lindbergh look is flying high; Paul Bunyan meets Kurt Cobain in the plaid revival; and designers turn out cold weather gear worthy of a Shackleton expedition. (Designer leuku knife and hiking boots not included.) Now get out there and show them what you’re made of.

I love the concept, and the photos are gripping.. so darkly melancholic.
