historical survey

One of the more thoroughly historically informed works in the genre, this book features much background for each clothing type and also guidance. Perfect for those who'd rather not live in ignorance regarding the original meaning of their clothes and clothing conventions.

***** Fashion At Its Best *****

This simple, "pocket size" book has proven to be extra-ordinary.After I lost my entire wardrobe due to an apartment fire, Ibought this book and my new wardrobe is not only more elegantbut less expensive as well ! Do not be fooled by the "Pocket Guide" title: this bookcovers everything from Suits, Shirts, Accessories, UnderClothes,OverCoats, Formal Wear and much more. Must have for allgentlemen.
