In fact, he's even got [Laughs] almost kind the kind of a centerfold pullout but it's more in fabrics than it is on [Laughs] what normally you would see on a…on a centerfold. He’s long abandoned the “dapper” look, and no longer tries to dress like a character in a French New Wave film. For those men hoping to find sartorial fulfillment somewhere down the road, tethering their journey to the mind-set of permanent fashion will deliver them earlier rather than later in life. The rest of your style journey will be a lot like life: you might start with a plan, but then things might deviate.

According to Flusser, dressing well is not all that difficult, the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Going by the illustrations and people included in the book, much of the content is likely most relevant if you move in swanky New England circles, have stacks of money, and maybe even lived 60 years ago.With the way men dress nowadays and for the majority, for the larger population, I think probably a much larger section on business casual, and perhaps breaking that out and talking about how we can mix-would've been better.

My advice is to know yourself, be prepared for disappointments and mistakes, and just throw yourself into the process. I'm a former Marine Corps Officer with a BA in Evolutionary Biology and Philosophy (Cornell College 98') and an MBA from The University Of Texas at Austin (07'). Flusser has assembled the largest andmost diverse collection of stylishly mantled men ever found in one book.His navy raw silk sport coat from Eidos, navy double-breasted from Ring jacket , and “modern tweeds” from Eidos and Natalino aren’t as fashion-forward as what you’d get from Thom Browne, but also not as fuddy-duddy as Cordings. After graduating from college, he relocated to San Francisco, where he found himself sifting through the racks of discounted, second-hand designer clothes at Wasteland. Alan Flusser’s Dressing the Man is widely considered to be the single best book on how to wear tailored clothing. Actually, I've got probably three copies of the book-one for my office, one-well, I like being able to hand out a copy to someone that-a good friend that perhaps needs it.
