While fashion is subject to seasonal change, the wardrobe of the man who dresses in classic style is marked by a distinctive continuity. A Well-Dressed Gentleman’s Pocket Guide is both an etiquette and a history of impeccable dressing and classic styling. It illustrates the fine distinctions of the gentleman’s dress code, arming the reader with the requisite information to dress for any occasion. It covers the entire wardrobe—from suits, coats, shirts, and shoes to umbrellas and underclothing—their history, manufacture, tailoring, materials, patterns, and colors. There are also summary style charts and warnings of classic faux pas. Any gentleman should consider himself incomplete without this elegant and authoritative pocket accessory.

***** Fashion At Its Best *****,
By Roselyne Berthier "roselyne_larochelle" (Geneve, Suisse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Well-Dressed Gentleman's Pocket Guide (Hardcover)
This simple, "pocket size" book has proven to be extra-ordinary.After I lost my entire wardrobe due to an apartment fire, I bought this book and my new wardrobe is not only more elegant but less expensive as well ! Do not be fooled by the "Pocket Guide" title: this book

History and now...,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Well-Dressed Gentleman's Pocket Guide (Hardcover)
This book is extremely useful as you search information about what to wear...and know few about it. History, materials, are well described but I feel somewhat disappointed as I found no photos, and few counselling about how to match the different items, and when...except for the excellent formal wear chapters.But after all, this is a pocket book, well-done and quite instructing!

This review is from: A Well-Dressed Gentleman's Pocket Guide (Hardcover)
One of the more thoroughly historically informed works in the genre, this book features much background for each clothing type and also guidance. Perfect for those who'd rather not live in ignorance regarding the original meaning of their clothes and clothing conventions.
