The Englishman's Suit is both a history and a guide to the most important part of an Englishman's wardrobe. This classic text, first published in 1994, gives the reader a charming and entertaining account of the suit's development from the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth. Reissued now for the twenty-first century, the narrative reveals a fascinating motley of curious and frequently amusing facts; from the arcane mysteries of button replacement to the remarkable influence of princes and kings. Sir Hardy Amies's enchanting book still delights, and will be of help to any would-be gentleman. CONTENTS: Acknowledgements. Introduction 1. The riding coat enters the drawing room 2.
