Brown In Town
by Murray Crane
If your email inbox is anything like mine you’re probably bombarded with information on things that hold very little interest. An exception ( for me) is the WM Brown Weekly; a newsletter published by Matt Hranek on a variety of interesting and inspiring subjects.
This is in addition to his Magazine which we stock in store.
Hranek started his blog in 2009, The William Brown Project, named after his farm in upstate New York, He’s done some interesting stuff and writes about everything from Charcuterie & Land Rovers to Negroni and Vintage Watches. All things I love personally and if you do as well then you should subscribe. Free subscribers will get semi-regular posts, and paid subscribers recieve weekly posts with Matt's favorites from his various passions and indulgences including, but not limited to, style, food & drink, cars ( mainly obscure italian models including the Fiat Panda) watches, books, music, hooks, bullets and travel. There is also access to the newsletter archive.
