Product Description

Review
"Alan is one of the most knowledgeable experts on men's fashion, and has created the ultimate reference for everything you need to know about good taste, great style, and where to find it throughout the world." -- Ralph Lauren"Alan Flusser is knowledgeable, cultivated, and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. The clothes he created for me in "Wall Street elicited the most attention and applause of any costume design done for any of my films." -- Michael Douglas"There is a difference between having nice clothes and wearing clothes that work specifically for you. Alan Flusser gives you the insight to make the best choices for yourself."-- Bob Costas, NBC Sports"Alan Flusser writes about menswear with authority, intelligence, and a healthy dose of his unique personal style that has made him the wardrober of choice for a distinguished cadre of gentlemen worldwide. "Style and the Man"'s historical references, engaging prose, and anecdotal asides make it a great read as well."-- Philip B. Miller, chairman and chief executive officer, Saks Fifth Avenue"No one knows as much about men's clothing as Alan Flusser--he has an encyclopedic knowledge of its history combined with a modern merchant's insight into design, tailoring, and selling. Read him and absorb."-- Bill Blass

The "How to Buy" and "How to Wear" sections of the book show men how they can look stylish and impressive without becoming fashion victims or making costly mistakes.

The guide covers 200 of the world's best stores and shops from New York to Paris, San Francisco to Rome, Montreal to Tokyo. Photographs throughout display the items essential for a well-dressed man. Flusser also profiles his colleagues Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren and others in a designer on designers interlude.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential, unusual and insightful, 8 Sep 2005
By Whittaker "Whit" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
  
Alan Flusser's 1996 book is a timeless classic, dispensing sartorial advice to the style-conscious man. Flusser offers insight into how to buy and wear clothes in the first half of the book. The advice is consistent with Flusser's more recent "Dressing the Man" but this books contains more detail at the cost of far fewer illustrations and photographs.

The second half of the book is a retail guide, giving details of where to find stylishly classic clothing and accessories in Boston. Chicago, Dallas, Florence, Hamburg, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Milan, Montreal, New York, Paris, Rome, San Francisco, Tokyo, Toronto and Vienna. Some of these details will inevitably date but reading the detailed reviews of each outlet will give you a burning desire to pack your Globetrotter suitcase and jet off to explore each city's stylish shops.

4.0 out of 5 stars Self-respecting men should read this, 1 April 1998
By A Customer
Alan Flusser's latest book is a must read for any man who wants to look good. Flusser is occasionally insufferably stuffy, but what he has to say about quality and fit in men's tailored clothes is well-reasoned and well-presented. He makes a strong case for a classic but not dowdy wardrobe of high-quality clothes that could make any man look and feel good, and he reviews the various places in major cities around the world where one could go about constructing it. He really doesn't deal with casual/sport clothes very well, but most men probably don't need him to -- there is vastly more confusion about a suit and tie than there is about a polo shirt and chinos.
