The pocket size volume is a clarion call to make the world a more jovial place filled with bonhomie. --Metro
Product Description
The Chap magazine is the favoured reading material in the UK and around the world for those with a penchant for pedigree. Am I A Chap? seeks to classify every species and sub-species of English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons, from the flamboyant young fop to the crusty old duffer. Looking at established chaps such as Beau Brummel and Cary Grant the book takes readers to the present day with the Bohemian Chap and the City Gent. Full of barbed wit and helpful tips on how to correctly wear spats, this is a pocket prestige gift for stylish chaps everywhere.

Had this book on Amazon pre-order and having just finished reading this book I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt this is Gustav Temple's Masterpiece. Not only is it hugely entertaining and witty but also very insightful. If you have trouble pairing your jeans with your trainers this book is not for you.If you consider yourself a chap, a gentleman who eschews vulgarity then this is the book for you. A wealth of sartorial information is to be had from this tome for example the backgrounds on most gentleman's essentials-The Hacking Jacket, Brogues, Dinner Jackets and Shirts, Trousers, the Umbrella, Cravats, Spats, the walking cane, Top Hat, Panama Hat, Flat Cap, HARRIS TWEED,Braces and the list just goes on. Temple scrutinises the faux pas that many gentleman easily fall fowl of in this heady polyester clad age and gently assists them on the road to sartorial enlightenment.

One can dally a little too long considering the trifling minutae of a chap's wherewithal in this engagingly slim volume. Awfully good fun in a restrained way, although the book is rather on the not big side, as is the font size. Still, it commends itself to the odd dip in and out.
