I have quite a few, but if I could only recommend one, it would be Alan Flusser's second book "Clothes and the Man."
The education is much like the styling, classic.

In no particular order: "Gentleman" by Roetzel, "The Suit" by Manton, and "History of Men's Fashion" by NJS. I am looking forward to reading the works of Will, Costi and Alden. When are these expected?

getting to work, in this case - got a lot of catching up to do...

Parental Advisory: Books by NJS are for mature people whilst others can be consumed by children.
Thanks, Shredder. I expect that my detractors would say that my books are for aspiring fogeys. The irony is that kids' books represent a big market share - and someone else said to me: "You should write sump'n stoopid". There's a lot in that, I think. I just cannot bring myself deliberately, to do it. Well, not yet, anyway.shredder wrote:Parental Advisory: Books by NJS are for mature people whilst others can be consumed by children.

Why would a grown man want to read children's books?
I meant more about writing them. Fully to understand Shredder, you would need to develop a sophisticated post-modernist sense of humour. However, I think that real children's books can be great to revisit: either with one's own children or simply for the fun of it: The Wind In The Willows; The Famous Five books; Biggles; Roald Dahl's stories; those of The Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson; even The Beano and The Dandy and catch up with Dennis The Menace and Masher; Lord Snooty and The Bash Street Kids - great fun.All over the world wrote:Why would a grown man want to read children's books?

in response to the original question,
- elegance by g. bruce boyer, as well as fred astaire style and rebel style
- clothes and the man by alan flusser
- laszlo vass' book about shoes (in dutch translation)
- gentleman by bernhard roetzel
- a gentleman's wardrobe by paul keers
- the book of ties by francois chaille
in addition, i have d.v. by diana vreeland and windor revisited by the duke of windsor, these are books about people that deal more than a little with clothes.
the elegant man by riccardo villarosa, and style and the man by alan flusser, are currently on their way to my home.
i am still looking for a copy of eminently suitable by g. bruce boyer. i have found this site due to an interview with this gentleman, where he mentioned it.
