Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion

It's truly a dressing BIBLE. I'm not dealing with chlothes or have any other interest than being nicely dressed. I bought it from Amazon UK exactly 3 years ago, 2005, and I can't tell you how many times I have been going back to it! It's marvellous. All the answers are there. It's NOT for snobs, it's for normal adult men. Beautiful, elegant, educational, perhaps a bit big, but what a book! No other book in this field, comes in the neighbourhood. If every mature man should own it, the world would much be more nice! Doc

I could not believe that a book of this depth exists. Very descriptive, gets into geometry and objective characteristics of a garment. Gives information on the origin of styles and it is rich in photos and explanatory sketches. I would rate with 6 if I could. Literally overwhelmed with this book. Whoever is genuinely interested in classic style, should consider this book. It is an epic book for men style.

A masterpiece, rich illustrated with fashion drawings of the 1930's, useful and interesting photos of some the sartorial kings and well written.

This book is a great to have on the coffee table. You will find its principles often quoted around the internet by bloggers and youtubers. The formal dress section is excellent but the casual section could do with a revision of sorts. Often imitated but yet to be beaten?

If you want to learn to dress in a way that will save you money, and let you get dressed in the dark whilst still looking good, get this book. It teaches you how to analyse your colours and proportion and figure out the looks for you. It's also rigorous, and you'll know exactly how to look at a man in a suit and criticise everything about its fit. You won't regret it.

A must 4all fashionist

I had a copy of this book several years ago .... used as a reference in my work as a menswear stylist . I moved house and it went missing , so happy to be reunited.

This book has been of good valuable to me as it explains sartorial details and - history, making the reader able to decide for himself what he will wear. For the aficionados out there! It also explained how to proper size dress shirts, jackets, trousers, etc.

Great book

This is a handsomely produced book. It is about suit-tie dressing, which I don't hold against it as that is made clear by the cover itself. But inside it is just a list of opinions and conventions laid down like law. I'd have liked something more rational.

Alan Flusser ensina o homem a se vestir, mostra combinações possíveis, traz um dicionário extenso. Infelizmente, se perde com tipos de roupas que ninguém usa, como smokings e casacas.

Fatto bene

Es un clásico...que se quedó en ese formato. Las ilustraciones y las fotos son sinceramente viejas. Tal vez tendría que reeditarse con un lenguaje visual más contemporáneo.
