It's Men's File, the one about all the really good stuff that's happening in the world of heritage, re-enactment and reproduction. We've always loved this one at Rare Mags, since the days of the early issues. Since then Men's File has joined forces with the mighty Clutch magazine to produce, twice a year, a mega-mag, combining the English language scene reports, interviews and events of Men's File with the Japanese product pages, listings, travel guides and shop reviews of Clutch. It's a beast.
"We live in an epoch in which self-congratulation is encouraged, but up until now it’s not something this publication has embraced, nonetheless, it’s fair to say that Men’s File is unusual in many aspects and in particular the age range of its readers and contributors. In our thirty third issue, we focus on extraordinary individuals like London-based fashion design students Si ‘Kenny’ Chen and Rebeca Illie, whose ages, when combined, are less than half of that of your star guest Mike Minchinton, shot at the Minchinton Ranch by Monti Smith. No matter who you are, where you are from or what your age, if you contribute significantly to a style scene that comes within our remit, we might feature you on our pages. Although I would add that true ‘stylists’ are rare birds indeed.
Elevating the recreation of historical events to unparalleled levels, Simon and Jamie Delaney and friends, who sometimes call themselves Spirit of Britain, are once again in action from their Norfolk workshop / HQ with an impressive collection of Triumphs – from untouched barn-finds to pristine restorations (all done in-house).
Finally, we want to thank all the contributors and advertisers that keep Men’s File alive, without you, we couldn’t go on with our labour of love. Our original goal, of finding hidden or underground manifestations of male style that usually reference the mid-20th century and push back against the mainstream, in still ongoing. All the time we have your support, we will bring you new stories from around the globe.
Remember, Men’s File is an AI free zone."
