FLUSSER'S LATEST IS A MUST READ
Alan Flusser's latest book is a must read for men who wearclothes (and the women who may buy them). Flusser, a renowned expert,respected designer and prolific writer on men's apparel, opens with a discussion of what to wear, from casual dressing to formalwear, without missing a step in between. He has a definite point of view on men's fashion, favoring traditional English-style clothing rooted in the Anglo-American traditions of the 1930's and 1940's, but also recognizes different tastes. He then takes the reader on a city-by-city shopping tour of the best men's stores around the world. He reviews a number of stores in each major city, describing the shopping experience and the merchandise and highlighting the unique or noteworthy items which distinguish each store. If you buy only one book on men's clothing, make it this one.

A guide for all of us...
While it's true that Flusser's book contains a guide to some of the most expensive menswear in the world, it's silly to downgrade the book for that reason. By telling you about suit construction, Flusser makes it possible to buy good cloths inexpensively by showing you what to look for. Admittedly the second part of this book is a guide to "the best" available, but it's still interesting to read and instructional even if I'll never buy a suit in Milan (and I won't).

Terrible
What if you live outside of New York? This book isn't applicable for anyone outside "The City." Buy a book from John Bridges instead. Similar Products
