Who makes custom-tailored shirts in New York? Where should you go for a professional shave? Why are shoes among the most important features of a man's wardrobe? How do you tie a four-in-hand knot? And where do the rich and famous purchase their clothes when they are in the world's finest cities?
Some people call it style, others call it taste - that "feel" some men have that helps them select the right suits, shirts, neckties, and shoes every time. All the same, dressing stylishly is not an art; you just have to know a little about the tried and trusted classics of men's clothing - where they come from, how they are made, how and when to wear them.
Gentleman's Guide is a treasure trove of information about the fashion icons who have created modern style, with plenty of advice on individual combinations of familiar patterns as well as materials, fabrics, and colors, alongside many useful tips and addresses. It brings together in one place the sort of help normally found scattered through men's style magazines and fashion columns.
From your necktie (and how to knot it) to your shoes (and where you can have them custom made); from your underwear to your tuxedo; from your Barbour jacket to your sunglasses - this book describes in detail everything you will need to dress like the gentleman you are. Gentleman's Guideis lavishly illustrated and contains numerous stories about famous and fashionable gentlemen.
Show you've got taste; select the perfect outfit for work or leisure; harmonize the accessories you use every day; and shop with a connoisseur's eye, thanks to Gentleman's Guide - the book that has style.

Tato kniha je opravdu nadčasová a o pánském stylu oblékání má opravdu hodně co říct. Hezké obrázky, příjemně se čte, čtenáře vzdělá v tématech látek a střihů či druhů obuvi.
Když ale člověk začne hledat něco konkrétního, zjistí, že je tahle kniha docela povrchní. Kapitola o holení vás odbyje popisem toho, jak vás oholí v salónu (kdo má čas se třikrát týdně někam objednávat?), tipů na vhodné kombinace barev a vzorů se nedočkáte skoro vůbec (jistě, záleží i na osobním vkusu a módní odvaze ale... Nějak se k tomu člověk dopracovat musí).
Takže... Příjemná záležitost k šálku čaje ze starého porcelánu, ale to je asi tak všechno.

Un big black book de saber usar textiles y de apariencia. Es un clásico insuperable pues incluye al rey del estilo. El duque de Windsor, cuyas ideas de vanguardia abrieron el camino que hoy en día sigue la moda del hombre.
