In a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience you will learn all there is to know about fabric, cut, patterns, color, and the optimal care and clothing for men from head to toe. From the perfectly placed tie knot to custom-made shoes, from casual sweaters to a top hat, everything you need for the appropriate outfit is explained in detail.
The classical graphic guide par excellence.
| Customer Rating: | This is the real graphic book to have when in doubt about to what to wear... and when... there are some truly useful tips in it about HOW to dress like a gentleman (NOT about been or behaving like... that is another matter I am afraid... and a lot of upbringing will be needed besides...).
Lavishly illustrated, and with technical explanations much to the point.
If you dress by it you won't be taken at fault... but do not be misguided and do not become obsessed to the point of overdressing! (a cardinal sartorial sin) lol .
Probably one of the best books about male dress around.

Too Much Hype
| Customer Rating: |
Don't waste time on this book, too grandiose but too little useful advice ... A price of US$ 5 would be sufficient for the content, lots of waffle ... Better to give this a miss unless they are the only book of the genre available in the market ... not impressed with this at all. |
A true gentleman's choice
| Customer Rating: | | This book is actually a must have for the true gentleman, it has all the knowledge that a men need to know to be in perfect shape for every ocassion, from the shaving, the hair, the beard, all of the clothing, the shoes, and a perfect explanation and some recomendations for every item, the only little problem is perhaps that because the author is from England, many of the brands mentioned are in fact from England and in some parts of the US maybe a little hardto find, but definitly are worth the trouble to look for them, all are really very high and luxury brands worth every penny paid for it. |
This is NOT a guide to dressing professionally...
| Customer Rating: | | This is a nice book if you're looking for a history of men's clothing and why certain clothing styles are the way they are. It is not a "how to" guide to building a wardrobe. The book is a nice adition to a library that already has other men's style guides....but don't let it be your only one. |
Like a linen suit, nice to have but hardly essential.
| Customer Rating: | I should say that this is first and foremost a coffee table book.
The main contention seems to be whether this or Flusser's book is the "quintessential" guide to men's style. It seems to me that this is a false dichotomy. Flusser (and might I recommend Antongiovanni's "The Suit") is a *guide to* men's style. "Gentleman" is a book *about* men's style. There is a subtle distinction here. I think it could best be described as the difference between a Time-Life book about WWII and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". The one might be prettier, easier to read, and give you a decent overview of the subject, but if you want to get into the nitty gritty of numbers and details, you want to go with the "real" book.
"Gentleman: A Timeless Fashion" is a great book to keep on your coffee table and flip open occasionally, but if you want real, useful information about men's style and tailored clothing, go with Flusser or Antongiovanni. |
