Any man, whether he’s american, japanese, french or whatever, who wants to be seriously well dressed, looks to the englishman’s suit for how to achieve it.”—from abc of men’s fashion. No man can afford to be without this classic style bible. “A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them.” For all men—and indeed all women who are interested in men’s clothes—here is an alphabetical guide to men’s fashion written with wit and expert knowledge.

Amazon Customer said Basically a fashion dictionary.. Pretty useless. It's more of a dictionary on fashion terms than an actual mens style fashion guide. I was completely unsatisfied.However, the build quality on the book is very nice. Great paper, nice elastic band to keep the book together, and a pleasing texture on the cover. Wish the contents were as satisfying.. AntonyH said Five Stars. All good.
