5.0 out of 5 stars Dress in style, 19 Aug 2006
This review is from: Gentleman: A Timeless Fashion (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book on how to dress in a stylish way, it covers everything from grooming tips and aftershave to the best makes of shoes and shirts. Unlike some other superficial books on the market this has real substance to it, you can actually read this book and know exactly what to go out and buy. This isn't a book on the latest fashions but how to develop a wardrobe that will stand the test of time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good enough, 20 Jul 2006
By Mathias Vestergaard (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gentleman: A Timeless Fashion (Hardcover)
The book is richly illustrated and colourful, but the really good points are scarce, and many topics are only superficially discussed. The style parts are rather uninspiring, and there's a lack of argument behind the fashion-choices presented in the book. Questions like "why is a suit designed like this?" are simply not answered.

Alan Flusser's "Dressing the Man" is a much better choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, good value book, 7 Dec 2005
This review is from: Gentleman: A Timeless Fashion (Hardcover)
This book gets 5 stars because it is superb value for money – a hardback book of 350+ pages packed with beautiful colour pictures for less than 10 pounds!

Curiously, this book is written by a German, though it is hard to tell if it is a translated text.

I say curiously since Mr Roetzel looks outside of the borders of his own land for most of his inspiration for this work. He speaks with great authority on such prototypes as the English gent, the stylish Italian man and the American matinee idol. The quirky anthropological style highlights the passion the author has for his subject matter.

This book is indispensable to any man who aspires to be a well-dressed gent.
