The elegant man's guide to impeccable dressing and classic style. 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 this 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 the finer details, from umbrellas to 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 authoritative pocket accessory. 226 pp 4 x 6 1/2 line drawings throughout
