Martian Field Guide is dedicated to understanding masculinity through art, music and design. Posts here represent items that our contributors feel offer commentary and representation of, or insight into, true masculinity.
MFG strives to dispel myths and cliche notions of manliness and get at the inherent, particular nature of a man. Rather than discerning point-by-point guidelines, MFG hopes to frame an understanding of masculinity through the objects and imagery generated by and for male cultures around the world.

It seems almost exclusively the domain of men to put their name on their objects - especially men of rural leanings. I am thinking of tooled leather belts. Carroll Shelby and his "Shelby Cobra." And John Travolta's Bud and Sissy license plates in Urban Cowboy. Although one might also mention the "city" versions: monogrammed sport coats, etched money-clips and custom shirts with initials on the cuff.
