Title: A truly peerless volume.
Review: This book almost made me cry. It is quite simply the book I had been intending to write all my life and I cannot imagine how I might improve it in any way. It is beautifully produced, the illustrations are tasteful and appropriate and over all provides even the sloppiest man with a flawless guide to sartorial elegance. It does have a photo of two fellows in smoking jackets which looks a bit tatty but I forgive them that. To say, as one reviewer does, that the book is written from an English perspective is I believe inaccurate. Certainly it does emphasise the contribution of Saville Row and the pastiche of the English gentleman as the doyen of taste but it is clearly written from a wider European perspective. There are more than adequate references to Continental European sources and indeed to the contribution of the United Stated to what we accept as stylish attire. A must for Gentlemen everywhere - buy it now or repent at leisure.
