Mr. Classic

By Jeremy Hackett

Hackett takes us on a grand tour of the world of Bentleys and polo, bicycles and picnics, bow ties and Sussex spaniels. Along the way, he muses on sartorial codes: why plus twos beat plus fours, the pros and cons of cuff-links, the art of monogramming, how one should dress for a shooting party, and how to get that bow tie looking "just so." Brimming with anecdotes and observations as sharp as his suits--as well as nostalgia for a time when a man knew how to dress for an occasion--this is a book for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
