The Rake – Issue 106

A Coffee Table Mags pick for men who dress with history in mind — The Rake is the sharpest case for classic elegance in a world that keeps forgetting why it matters.

The Modern Voice of Classic Elegance

Founded in 2008, The Rake is the world’s preeminent publication dedicated to the education and arbitration of men's style. Recapturing the codes of classic men’s elegance, The Rake is inspired by icons such as Cary Grant, Gianni Agnelli, Sean Connery and their contemporary counterparts. It provides incisive, in-depth commentary on menswear and the many other elements of gentlemanly living, from manners and ethics to art and design, travel, the intellectual and the philosophical, entertainment, food and drink.

In this issue:

We are privileged to welcome back Stanley Tucci as The Rake's Issue 106 cover star.

From adventures at Ascot, Glyndebourne and Wimbledon to accompanying profiles of summer sport icons, this issue is here to combat connotations of seasonal stagnation. Elsewhere, we toast Lock & Co.’s remarkable 350-year legacy, explore the latest horological contributions, and make the case for civility in barbecuing. All this and more, anchored by Tucci’s poignant reflections on the sanctity of taste as summer flavours begin to bloom.

Wherever the season takes you, let this issue linger throughout your journey.
