Today classic English style and tailoring enjoys worldwide adulation, and rightly so. There is nothing quite like a pair of well-polished brogues, a bespoke dinner jacket, or even a set of newly laundered striped cotton pyjamas. And when it comes to top-drawer tailoring, there is nobody quite like Jeremy Hackett.
As a generation tires of jeans and T-shirts, this book offers right-thinking men everywhere a chance to smarten up their act.

Hackett muses on sartorial codes in an age less accustomed to making an effort: why plus twos beat plus fours, the ideal length of sock, the pros and cons of cufflinks, the art of monogramming, how one should dress for a hunt or 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 more than a glancing nostalgia for an age when a chap knew how to dress for an occasion – this is a book for those who know how to appreciate the finer things in life, and for would-be dandies everywhere.
