Issue 3: Layers
Issue 3: Layers
Woven throughout Valet Issue 3 are themes of layers and liminality, of translucency and transparency, in terms of both the ethical and aesthetical. The 272-page tome houses long-form pieces on a number of subjects related to why and how we dress.
Philosophical essays and object histories on nakedness and see-through garments explore what is brought to bear on our notions of dress when considering its absence.
In our conversation piece between our proverbial gentleman and his valet, we look back at a summer day in which our chap, with his mind clear of the stresses and disillusionments that make up everyday life, found himself in love and wanting to exploit silly whims and frivolities.
Layers of cloth and cloud find a home in another piece that looks at the group of amateur British mountaineers who tried to conquer Everest in the '20s, doing so in garments that provided both warmth and style, and which, if used today, might even outperform the fluorescent wind-proofs and synthetic puffer jackets to which many of our brethren have become accustomed.
We speak to Joshua and Kim of British tailoring house Dobrik & Lawton about music, romance, and platform boots; Bernhard Roetzel takes us on a tour of Volkmar Arnulf's Potsdam tailoring workshop; an architect ponders the notion of continuity in architecture and dress (and deprecates the de facto architect's uniform of black-t-shirt-an-jeans); and loads more.
Cosy up with this here tome and a drink to hand, and sink your teeth in!

What our readers say:
“The thing I respect about you is that you do things the treacherous way—refusing to purchase bogus followers to ‘prove’ that you’re popular, and putting in the time to turn out quality content, while earning one devotee at a time.”
Sonya Glyn, The Parisian Gentleman
“Thank you for sending Valet! It’s beautiful. The editor’s letter is perfection.”
Hannah Chamberlain, @SpiritedLA
“We are reading this first issue of Valet now. The whole team is impressed by your work and that of your team!”
Husbands Paris
“I was curious to read your publication but now I am absolutely desperate to. I love this sort of detail.”
Chris Modoo, Kit Blake
“‘You guys truly show a passion and expertise regarding your topics and I really love the historical references. It’s as if Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene were doing the writing.”
Patrick Durkin, USA
“Valet is not a magazine about clothes, but a magazine about how and why and where clothes are worn. It gives a context to the sometimes superficial world of menswear. Excellent from start to finish.”
Andreas Klow, @flannels_and_tweed
“Valet is daringly and refreshingly long-form in a world that’s rapidly moving towards listicles. It’s the best demonstration of print media being alive and relevant, now and into the future. It’s presence goes beyond print. I particularly enjoy their once-in-a-blue moon short film releases on YouTube. I always look forward to their next delivery.”
Charles Yap, The Decorum
“I cannot rate Valet highly enough. I think the biggest compliment I can give is this: that it isn't just a magazine about menswear in its classic form, but a collection of stories, tales, interviews and fiction that inspire, all done to the highest standard of literature. There is so much depth to it and I would recommend it to everyone, especially in these trying times, where we all need a little bit of inspiration just to keep going.”
J.J.
“Valet carries the torch of classic menswear. Their content is at the top of their field, always interesting, and fantastically curated. My favourite menswear magazine.”
Kirby Allison, The hanger Project

We can always arrange for special delivery if it is required. Just get in touch with us at info@valetmagazine.co.
