Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing

Author: Josh Karlen

In their book, The Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing, journalists Josh Karlen and Christopher Sulavik, describe classic styles of men's clothing which have endured fashion cycles and are now as popular as ever. They interviewed dozens of the leading experts on men's clothing from American clothiers-such as Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart, to Britain's famed Turnbull & Asser and France's shoemaker J.M. Weston. The result is an exhaustive, yet concise volume which offers these experts' advice on how to put together a wardrobe of timeless, impeccable style and tips on how to recognize quality clothing. Plus, the finest custom shoemakers, suitmakers and shirtmakers and others describe the fine points of their craft.

Few "indispensable" guides are ever just that, but this title comes close to hitting the mark, even though much of the information provided can be found in similar guides, such as Paul Keers's A Gentleman's Wardrobe (1988). Karlen, an attorney and editor, and Sulavik, a journalist, use a question-and-answer format (e.g., "Should a dress shirt have a pocket?") that works well, and the candid remarks provided by dozens of clothing experts are an interesting feature. Helpful line drawings are interspersed throughout the text, although photographs might have provided clearer illustrations in some instances. While this is not quite an indispensable purchase, most public and academic libraries should have at least a few good men's grooming guides like this one on their shelves.--P.
