Debrett's Guide for the Modern Gentleman

What a book!

It was wrapped lovingly (and very well) for me for Christmas by a very stylish lady.

It was shaken then unwrapped by myself, and then devoured over the course of 2 hours. It's extremely well written, with diagrams and lists to accompany the text. The chapters are as follows;

Man At Work: from tailoring rules to boardroom success; Maintenance: from the barber's chair to the ultimate workout; At Home: from vinyl and audio-visual to stylish interiors; City Life: from top tables and tipping to opera and art; Time Off: from dinner jackets and denim to casinos and golf; Motoring: from essential maintenance to classic collectables; The Traveller: from sandy beaches to edible insects; Gastronomy: from the finest vintages to the gourmet kitchen; New Chivalry: from successful seduction to bedroom behaviour

Everything there for the modren gentleman. From suits to seduction, from hi-fi to haircuts.

Simply essential.

my good friend; Huw Watkins

The other day Mr watkins looked so good I had to take a photo!

He's wearing a vintage Crombie suit, a brown pinstripe, with vintage braces (he bought from me!). You can't see them but his brown brogues look superb and the Prince of Wales check shirt looks terrific.

All topped off with a pocket square and a nice vintage tie.

A true dapper Dan.
