Fantastic book

Great book that explains timeless classic men's wear from shoes to hats, fabrics, skin tones. The book has wonderful pictures in it too.
It's an inspiring road map and serves as a useful template.

Dressing The Man by Alan Flusser

I had already gotten 2 other books by Alan Flusser, "Style and the Man & Clothes and the Man." He is one of the most interesting writers on the subject of men's style. This is his best work,in my opinion. This book has the best explanations about the evolution of men's style and the particulars of dressing.It's all done in a very factual way, although the language gets a little pretentious at times. If you're going to have one book about men's style to learn from, start with this one. I've now read about 20 books on men's style and consider this to be the cornerstone. Enjoy!Read full review...

Required reading for any man who wants to be well dressed

Having read "Clothes and The Man" many times over the years I was happy to finally get a copy of Alan Flusser's update to what is still an excellent book on how a man should dress. This was much more of a very good thing. I will pick this up from time to time to be reminded of how it's done. This will be required reading for my sons as well. It should be required reading for any man who wants to understand how to dress in a way that will not render you a victim or slave of ever worsening fashion, but instead develop style that endures over the course of time.Read full review...

Excallent book on the subject. Probably the best book on men's fashion out there.

This is the book to read when you want to dress well. It discusses the shape of your body, from your face to your neck to see wgich type of collars go with it. To types, types of shirts and all down the line. High recommendationRead full review...

History of men's fashion with nothing useful for today's fashion.

I bought this book only because a tailor told me that it is the best book on men's fashion. It is certainly thorough for what it is. But its content is nothing that is going to help me, or any other man, be more fashionable or appropriate in my wardrobe.Read full review...
