The latest issue has a cover story on Cleverley shoes

I just saw the latest issue. The story on Cleverley is great. The magazine is doing a great job on interviewing the best. So far, Anderson & Sheppard, Charvet, Brioni and now Cleverley.......

This magazine should be sold all over the world.

Isn't the issue including the A&S writeup the second? I think I still have it somewhere... I'll take a look...

I think the third edition is out. I will look at my last copy.

Could you tell us what are the mistakes?

Does anyone know where one can get this magazine in New York? I am sure it is sold somewhere.......

The last issue was the third edition and it had an eight page article on Cleverley. A very nice read. Plus, the Get Carter article was great!

I just got three copies of this. It is stunningly beautiful and must cost a fortune to produce. The photography is as good as professional work anywhere. The content is great, if not always what I personally am into. Still, it is miles ahead of anything else out there.

I think I know the real reason Anderson was afraid to visit Cruise in his hotel room.

Anyone have a copy of the A&S issue that they are willing to part with?

It's on the website and I saw it somewhere else once as a PDF. Edit Here is the PDF. It's very high Q and much better than what is on The Rake's own site. Cheers to ACL. http://acontinuouslean.com/2009/05/1...view-the-rake/

Actually, if you ask nicely (i.e. kiss ass), they will probably send you pdfs of the article you want. The editor sent me a pdf of the article on Shanghai tailor Eddie Chow even before it went to print.

Even sent me recently a complimentary copy of Issue 4, a few days after I bought it off the local newstand.

If anyone can find me a copy of issue #1 i would greatly appreciate it. I would definitly pay a finders fee to anyone. I got Issue's #2 and #3 but they seem to be all sold out of the first issue?

This new issue appears to have a profile on the late homosexualist dandy, Bunny Roger.

I wonder if they included pictures from the auction of his effects.
