I see similarities between Foot and Corbyn. Both are old school Labour whether you like that or not. Corbyn is far less doddery though.

Michael Foot had moral fibre and gravitas. Corbyn isn't fit to shine his shoes.
Is this how your tailors talk?

The October GQ which espouses the ''New Masculinity'' resplendent with gangsta' rappers sporting belle of the ball dresses is taking a hammering from several pundits and commentators. Sounds absolutely dreadful, but it always was rather a boring and ad copy weighted read:
What’s surprising to me is that there isn’t any half decent supermarket magazine rack menswear and men’s interest magazine out there. There seems to be enough of an interest in this stuff in the general public to sustain some sort of entry-level twenty-something learning to dress and live type magazine.
I think you may have this backwards as it seems to me that GQ in having so many African Americans from the hip hop world on their covers in recent months is desperately trying to hook in this twenty something demographic who apparently are more interested in the avant gard rainbow-colored garb shown and worn by these folks than they are in what we might think of as ‘classic menswear’. Have you seen the ‘What To Wear Now’ offerings? And the Big Black Book from Esquire has been abandoned I think.What’s surprising to me is that there isn’t any half decent supermarket magazine rack menswear and men’s interest magazine out there. There seems to be enough of an interest in this stuff in the general public to sustain some sort of entry-level twenty-something learning to dress and live type magazine.
The desperation of GQ and to a similar extent Esquire to find a readership now that their once reliable classic menswear demographic seems in steep decline is palpable.
Sort of agree although I wouldn’t like to gamble on how many years will pass until something approaching ‘classic menswear’ will once again be in vogue with a significant enough proportion of the world population to get on board. We see occasional upticks like the Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders ‘looks’ but they seem to be the modern replacement of punks / Teds / Mods / skins, with youth adapting the look then shedding it with equal abandon and rapidity. Anything tied in to a TV show has a built in obsolescence anyway as they rarely run for more than five years.I think like much of the legacy media, they've targeted the wrong demographic. A wasted emotionally crippled generation is best skipped until the next one. What's six years or so? Dig the next new breed who'll likely be more interested in sartorial refinement. But in saying that, GQ has been shite since the early 1990s.
They all seem to come from England and even English versions of GQ and Esquire seem much more worth flicking through than their American counterparts.
If you mean The Chap, it's shite. It used to be, literally, published out of someone's bedroom with a word processor and a photocopier, and it was superlative. Now it's gone mainstream and it's shite. Just another GQ, carrying interviews of celebrities.
There is (or was) too, The Jackal, edited by our very own Aleksandar Cvetkovic. A sort of poor man's Rake.
Jackal, Rake. It's all in the title, really.
That Die Workwear (wtf is this title?) bloke seems to think he's Boyer. Long-winded, full of himself, thinks the universe ends on America's borders, worships the orthodox list of sartorial celebrities, and desperate to squeeze profound philosophical meanings out of anything.
No the mag I was thinking of had a similar title but it wasn’t either of those. Something with a similar title though ‘The Rascal’ or something like that.
Would that be 'The Jackal'? Enjoy: https://www.thejackalmagazine.com
Rather Londoncentric.
