Description
For many, along with A Gentleman’s Wardrobe, this was the first book on gentlemanly style one ever bought, and some would argue that it’s the only one a man will ever need, despite it being published in 1999 and by a German (although the foreword is by British journalist and author Nick Yapp). Gentleman breaks down every aspect of classic and traditional dress, offering tips on co-ordination and assemblage as well as useful guides on the different types of tweed. As well as clothes, gentlemanly accessories such as fountain pens and eaux de cologne are explained, giving the aspiring gentleman a fully comprehensive guide. However, as the author points out in his introduction, “Clothes do not make a gentleman; and, by the same token, a real gentleman is always a gentleman, even without his clothes.” This is the hardback first edition in very good condition.
