blogs:
sartorialist

millions of other street blogs

forums:
style forum
superfuture
style zeitgeist

Also, mens style website has a good database of runway shows. View some good designers that you like for inspiration as well.

Magazines have photo shoots. Some people use mood boards for clothing inspiration. Get inspired by specific people, movies, songs. Good luck

Most of the time, the kind of stuff he snaps isn't what I would wear. But when he does post something I like it's usually amazing.

Checked out Facehunter there, just a quick look through the first page, seems like alot of unwearale stuff!

Borders and Barnes and noble are chock full.

I really like to wander around down-town too.

DIY books from the 50's and 60's have a lot of Bobo approved fits.

Rock-docs- Woodstock,The Last Waltz, a lot of the documentaries shot in the late 60's and early 70s

I guess it just depends on what you are into.

LIFE magazine is a great source of inspiration, really any of the photo-journalism centered magazines.

English Magazines tend to impress me more with their coverage of Mens Fashion.

It seems like Television is the worst place to look. Any time I've been inspired by something on TV, I look back and regret it. The only time I haven't is with regards to Mad Men, but I haven't really started down the suit + wingtips road as much as I'd liek to.
