Gentlemen: A Timeless Fashion

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This was a great detailed book on being a gentleman. The book touched on a little bit of everything. I thought the book offered some wonderful pictures which made the read that more enjoyable. One criticism about the book was that it failed to mention anything good about American manufacturers outside of Brooks Brothers which, in my opinion, has gone down in quality over the years. The author mentions Italian and British manufacturers, however fails to mention Oxxford, one of the best American manufacturers of fine men's dress clothing. I would hold Oxxford in a higher regard as far as quality than Chester Barrie, which the author devotes a whole page. The author also, surprisingly, fails to mention Creed in his mention of men's fine colognes, especially considering the author is such an Anglophile. Creed was founded in 1760 and has been an official supplier to both the English sovereign and other courts and has been worn by Cary Grant and Prince Charles. Despite the clear bias toward English clothing that the author has, this book nicely presents all the details one should look for in fine men's clothing. I highly recommend it!
