A Gentleman's Wardrobe is filled with humorous anecdotes, photographs and illustrations of the world's best-dressed men in their classic clothes, from the Duke of Windsor sporting the Windsor knot to Noel Coward in his ubiquitous silk dressing gown, from Charles Dickens in his flashy waistcoat to Fred Astaire - who threw his new suits against the wall to break them in. From Brooks Brothers to Savile Row, from blue-jeans to blue-striped suits. A Gentleman's Wardrobe offers men a detailed guide to dressing with the elements of style.
