The Gentleman's Art of Dressing With Economy

This little book came in the mail last week. I expected a large, thin paperback but it's a small hardback, and rather nice. Also very readable. The original book was published in 1876 and it's been reprinted by the British Library. Victorian male fashions I know little about, so it seemed worth picking up a copy.

The first few chapter address the overall theme of the title: buy good quality clothes at a fair price, and then take proper care of them. The next chapters deal with individual items of clothing. It's looking to be a useful little book.

Might want to work on his stance a little tho.

Are you casting aspersions on his stance?

Not at all. I'm sure it would go down well in some circles!
