A new magazine for the 20th century renaissance man— curious, successful and with the time and inclination to dabble in the arts, science, sports, philosophy or just to sit in his own Finnish bath.

The new online magazine GENTRYstyle.com has just been launched by the team behind london’s finest grooming store www.MurdockLondon.com.
This magazine reflects the interests, curiosity and style of the modern gentleman, but takes its cue from the brilliant 1950’s men’s magazine GENTRY, founded by style visionary William C. Segal. In that forward-thinking, eclectic style bible, readers would be as likely to come across an article on the manufacturing of Scottish tweed as one on the architecture of the American ranch house.
We have sought to create an online magzine that reflects the wide interests of the contemporary Renaissance man— curious, successful and with the time and inclination to dabble in the arts, science, sports, philosophy or just to sit in his own Finnish bath.
Bored by many of today’s men’s magazines that are led by the fleetingness of ‘Fashion’ with no attention to real personal ‘Style’, we hope this magazine proves both entertaining and stimulating. Recent articles include a damning indictment of the new Abercrombie & Fitch store in London, a musing on the relative merits of the Aston Martin as opposed to the Masserati, a note on the history of the Mint Julep cocktail, a travel tip about a new Corbusier museum in Stuttgart, and short pieces about other things on our mind. We welcome your comments and contributions.
