Here is the new issue of Men’s File. It’s come all the way from Japan. As usual it comes included with Clutch magazine too because the world of magazines is just all about generosity.
.
We’ve got all the latest in the world of heritage, menswear, cars, art and architecture. Plus a tribute to Derek Harris from Lewis Leathers. An Ai free magazine, in stock now.
The wait is over. We finally have the Urban Outdoors Review issue of Popeye in the shop. Massive thanks to those who pre ordered with us, your patience has been very much appreciated and is what makes this stuff possible in the first place.
.
Anyway, we actually have extra copies for general sale this time, on the shelf or the site now. This is the first outdoors issue from Popeye for 6 years and it’s packed with stuff for getting out and about.
What do a Hollywood special art magazine, a periodical about things, one about drawing, one about a colour loving bat, two about the history of clothes, the memoir of Patti Smith, an Anthony Bourdain collection and a book about the history of clay have in common? They all came back in to stock at Rare Mags today. That’s what.
We’re back! No idea what to write as a new year message or a round up of 2025. For now just know this - if you’re looking for big stacks of the latest fashion magazines, fancy bags and stationery from Japan, award winning books from independent publishers, zines from even more independent publishers, magazines from all over the world, coffee and a nice shiny shop to look at all this in, we’re here for that.
FYI.
Night night chickens and Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks to all our customers, our hard working staff and everyone that chooses to shop with real places and real people. ❤️
It’s not too late part 2 - you can still come and pick stuff up from the shop, we’re open 9:30 until 4 Christmas Eve. Get in an order on the site now and we’ll have it ready for you to collect tomorrow. Or just come in through the door and we’ll sort you out.
Classic it’s not too late post - it really isn’t - gift vouchers (physical or digital) always available, 6 and 12 month fully custom book and magazine subscriptions from the shop or the site, ready, waiting, we do the rest.
.
Rare Mags saves Christmas, you heard it here first.

*SOLD OUT* Message us for waiting list.

In our January film slot we are very excited to be screening Nightshift (1981), a recently restored underseen gem from British experimental filmmaker Robina Rose (1951-2025).

Taking place over the course of one night, Nightshift is a hazy, hypnotic vision of nocturnal
activity in a West London hotel, depicting the routine duties of a silent desk clerk (played by
British punk icon Jordan) whilst nightcrawling clientele pass through the reception. Conceived
whilst the director worked at the same hotel, this is a film that very much captures how it feels to
work through the night and the kind of fantasies and strange interactions that occur. This is a rare treat
not to be missed.

Screening one night only on Thursday 22nd January at the shop. Doors from 6pm, film on at
7pm. Tickets available on our website or over the counter. As always, they’re £6 and include a
drink on arrival.
