FOREWORD8
Ten years have passed since this book was first published,during which time it has come to be regarded as a classicof its kind and been translated into many different languages.The publication of this revised new edition with its fresh layoutmay prompt fans of the original edition to ask whether thechanges and additions were absolutely necessary. “TheGentleman” was, after all, about classic men’s fashion, or,as one American colleague very aptly described it, “perma-nent fashion.” Is such a style even subject to change at all?
The original edition could – in theory – have been leftunchanged for another ten years since the number of factswhich needed updating turned out to be surprisingly few andthe rules a gentleman must observe when assembling hiswardrobe have, in any case, barely changed at all. Never-theless, the book did contain gaps in certain areas which Ihave been wanting to fill for some considerable time – thequestion of Italian style, for example, needed to be lookedat more closely. Moreover, over the course of the past tenyears, I have discovered a large number of new manufac-turers, producers and studios, a few of which I would like tointroduce in this new book.
I hope that all my readers will thoroughly enjoy thisnew edition of “Gentleman,” which, like the original, seeksto kindle a sense of enthusiasm for quality, elegance and tra-ditional craftsmanship. It would give me, as the author, enor-mous pleasure if, along the way, I also manage to help oneor two readers to discover their own personal style.

INTRODUCTION10
One thing should be clear: clothes do not make a man agentleman; and, by the same token, a real gentleman is always a gentleman, even without his clothes. However, itwould be a mistake to conclude from this that our appear-ance is not important. Clothes are the visiting card of a per-sonality, and should therefore be chosen to match it.
This book is an attempt to provide a comprehensivedescription of the proper style of attire for a gentleman. Bythis we mean a dress code that has its roots in England, andthat is accepted around the world today as classic style.Anyone who dresses as described in this book can be surethat he will look well-dressed, whether he is in London, Paris,Brussels, Düsseldorf, Rome, Milan, New York, or Tokyo.
Dressing like a gentleman means mixing tailored gar-ments and mass products, exclusiveness and modest practi-cality. A pair of Levi’s jeans with a tailored, made-to- measuretweed jacket is just as acceptable a weekend outfit as good-value boat shoes from Sperry with chinos by Polo RalphLauren and a blazer from Gieves and Hawkes. Dressing likea gentleman is therefore not to be equated with a stubbornconservatism. Innovations which prove their worth and look
good gradually find acceptance in the international stylecanon of London, Milan, and New York. Jeans are a goodexample. Although it took a while, these blue cotton trouserseventually established themselves, and are now familiar andaccepted leisurewear items almost everywhere. Or there isthe Husky jacket, which was invented at the beginning of the1960s but only became well known around the world in the1980s. Or Diego Della Valle’s Tod’s shoes, which have onlybeen on the market since 1979. Combining pieces ofclothing and accessories of the most varied origins to assem-ble a harmonic, interesting whole demands a thoroughknowledge of the history of the individual garments. Natu-rally, this knowledge may also lead to the quite consciouscreation of new and unusual combinations, which may occasionally even be the products of intuition and chance.But someone who does not wish to rely on these imponder-ables should learn about the individual components of hiswardrobe. Only by doing so will he eventually understandhow to wear them properly.
Of course, it is not by chance that English clothes andEnglish style are discussed so much in this book. London

INTRODUCTION 11
became the leading fashion center in Europe as early as theeighteenth century, especially since important new ideaskept coming from the British Isles. While the French aristoc-racy lived at the royal court, their English counterparts spenta great deal of time on their country estates. Their favoritepastime was fox hunting, and this required a completely newstyle of dress. The knee-length coat was a hindrance whenriding, so it was cut shorter and shorter. The vest becameshorter to match, and the pants tighter. This new look wastaken up throughout Europe: in France the English frock coatbecame the fraque, and in Germany the Frack, while laGrande Nation corrupted “riding coat” into redingote.
Only at the end of the nineteenth century was the colorfinally driven out of the suit that evolved during the eighteenthcentury, and consisted of a frock coat, vest, and pants. Inview of the muddy roads of the time and the city air filledwith soot and smoke by innumerable coal fires, this trend wasthoroughly practical. Only in the country was there a con-trast to the gray and black of the city. The colors of naturethe nobility saw on their country estates were reproduced inhunting and riding clothes. Unknown trendsetters whowanted to be able to wear comfortable riding jackets in thecity as well came up with the idea of having them made ofdark materials. Ultimately, it is this development we have tothank for the cut of the modern suit, with its short jacket. Inconsequence, the modern man who finds a dark suit stiff and
formal may console himself with the knowledge that, in asense, it is the dark version of a leisure outfit.
But there is also another lesson to be drawn: dressinglike a gentleman costs not only time, but money as well. Aninvestment in a good garment generally entails further expen-diture. Someone who is wearing a pair of genuinely goodshoes for the first time will automatically cast a critical eyeover the rest of his clothes. And as a consequence the needfor a good suit arises almost out of necessity. This, in its turn,demands good shirts and ties.
It is a process which usually takes several years, andit is better that way. A wardrobe must grow like the decora-tion of an apartment. This is a highly individual process,which can, and should, lead each of us to a unique style. Ashas already been mentioned, clothes are the visiting card ofa personality.

THE BEARD14
An indispensable element of wet shaving isa shaving brush made from genuine badgerhair. A. Simpson & Co. continues to makeshaving brushes entirely by hand, using atechnique that has remained unchangedsince the firm was founded in 1919. Thefirm’s current range comprises 75 differentmodels.
In the past, the application of aftershavelotion to freshly shaved skin often causedpainful stinging. Nowadays modern groom-ing products have a pleasant cooling andsoothing effect on the skin. The traditionalLondon firm of Taylor’s of Bond Street recom-mends its range of alcohol-free gels andbalms which are specially formulated tosoothe the skin and produce a velvetysmooth finish.
Thanks to its soft consistency, tube-basedshaving cream can quickly produce a richlather. Simply squeeze the required amount– 1 inch (2 cm) should be sufficient – intothe palm of the hand and rub onto damp-ened skin. Tube-based shaving cream is aless economical option than shaving soap,however.
An altogether elegant as well as ecologically sound option is to use shaving soap in a woodenbowl as this can be refilled with fresh soap whenever necessary. Since just a small amount ofshaving soap on the brush is sufficient to soften the beard, the need for a refill will be a rela-tively rare occurrence.

Shaving cream is available in tubes and potswith screw-top lids. Cyril R. Salter is a well-known brand originating in Great Britain,where the firm's range of products is still pro-duced. The shaving cream comes in variousfragrances, one of the most popular of whichis Indian sandalwood.
Is it acceptable for a gentleman to use shav-ing cream out of an aerosol can? Is this nottoo vulgar and indicative of the sort of con-venience mentality that is frowned upon?Certainly a wooden bowl containing shavingsoap does have greater sensory appeal thana metal can, the design of which resemblescar spray paint. Nevertheless, shaving foamdispensed from a can does have its pros andits devotees. It is useful for anyone in a hurry,and the more leisurely shaving ritual can,after all, be reserved for weekend enjoyment.
Aftershave is rather less popular than it usedto be since most men have grown tired ofsubjecting themselves to the stinging discom-fort that accompanies the application ofalcohol-based astringents to freshly shavedskin. Nowadays other products are availablethat sterilize the skin without pain, such asPink Aftershave by D. R. Harris, which isscented with rose water.
Wet shaving provides a good, close shavebut its effect on the skin is akin to a cleansingand peeling treatment. Most gentlemen findan aftershave milk a pleasant treatment. Notonly does it sooth minor nicks, but it softensand moisturizes the skin.
Shaving soap is available in a variety offorms. One slightly less fashionable alterna-tive is the shaving soap stick, which neverthe-less represents an extremely practical andeconomical choice. Remove the cap, twist upthe soap from the base, and rub it onto wetstubble. The small amount of soap applied tothe skin in this way can be worked up intoan extremely rich lather with the use of ashaving brush.
While regular air travelers who only carryhand luggage must obviously conform tosecurity regulations, a small bottle of shavingoil is not likely to raise any objection since itcontains only a minimal amount of liquid.What is more, it can be applied without ashaving brush. Simply apply to wet skin, thenmassage it into your face and shaving cancommence. The specialist products illustratedare available from The English Scent, a spe-cialist store in Berlin. Its current range can beviewed on the Internet, ordered online, anddispatched throughout the world.

THE BEARD16
When Emile Zola spoke of a “ladies’ paradise,” he was refer-ring to the institution of the enormous department store, thattemple of commerce in which fine Parisian ladies abandonedthemselves to unrestrained frenzies of buying in the mid-nineteenth century. By contrast, the good old barber’s shopis a paradise for men. It is a place where a man can engagein conversations of a particular kind that are only possiblewith a hairdresser: a little banal, entertaining for the most part,and always highly relaxing. The close physical contactencourages a certain familiarity, which is balanced out by thegeneral nature of the conversation. In contrast to the ladies,
a man does not discuss intimate matters with his hairdresser.He is more likely to talk about cars, the weather, recent orupcoming horse races, and what is on television. But, sad tosay, the barber’s shop is a threatened species, though it hasnot quite died out completely yet. Fortunately, many Europeancities still have traditional gentlemen’s hairdressers that offertheir customers a good shave and a timeless haircut. It is usu-ally men who work in these establishments, true to the old rulethat, apart from his wife, a real gentleman does not allow him-self to be touched by a woman. His doctor, his tailor, and,indeed, his hairdresser, must be male.

A GOOD WET SHAVE
Before the actual shave can commence, the beard is softened with hottowels. This procedure also encourages the blood circulation in the skinof the face.
The customer’s face is lathered using a real badger-hair brush. Thelather softens the stubble and makes it easier to shave.
The cheeks are shaved first. The razor is always drawn “with thegrain,” that is, in the same direction as the hair growth.
The barber holds the customer gently by the nose so that his upper lipis just tight enough.
The point of the chin requires particular skill, and no beard should beleft underneath the bottom lip. But this is not a problem for a barberwho is well versed in his craft.
When the shave is finished, the remaining soap is rubbed off, and theskin finally patted dry. This subjects the customer’s face to a thoroughexfoliation.

THE SUIT 115
When you try on a very light, half-lined Italian summer suitfor the first time you will be surprised that its lightweight fabriccan be used for a suit at all. But if the suit fits well – whetherbecause the right size is in stock, or you have ordered amade-to-measure suit, or you have had the suit custom-madefrom the first to your own measurements – you will be aston-ished to realize that this lightweight fabric hangs as well asthe suit you wear in the fall. You can feel cool air aroundyour legs as you walk, light actually seems to shine throughthe jacket, and the sleeves are so thin that the double cuff ofyour shirt seems heavy and stiff by comparison. When youlook down at your legs you can see the ground through thefabric to right and left of your feet through your trousers. Andnote that we mean a woolen suit, although the wool is of solight a weight that it seems almost like shirting fabric – butunlike the cotton of a shirt it does not crease.
Of course summer suits can be made in other fabrics,such as cashmere, silk, mohair, and cotton. But a tropicalweight of pure wool is the best material for a suit to be wornto the office every other day in summer. Mohair, made fromthe hair of the angora goat, is equally hardwearing. Thisgrainy, elastic fabric is mainly made into tuxedos, but it canalso be used for summer suiting, although not everyone likes
the luster that is characteristic of mohair. Silk is also a typicalsummer fabric, and it was the Italians who reintroduced silkto the gentleman’s wardrobe, like cotton and linen. Cottonand linen are certainly comfortable to wear in hot weather,but they crease badly, and a suit made of such fabrics soonloses its shape. In addition, the light weight of linen andcotton means that they do not drape so elegantly or hangout as well as pure wool – these materials just do not havethe weight to pull the suit back into shape again as quickly.These vegetable fibers, then, are to be recommended onlyif you do not mind creases in a suit, and if your suit will begiven enough time between wearings for the creases to fallout again.
The creases in linen suits are less likely to fall out thanthose of cotton suits, and so the wearer will have to be pre-pared to tolerate a somewhat crumpled look.
THE SUMMER SUIT
If you think of cashmere only as asoft, warm, woolen fabric, then letyour tailor show you lightweightcashmeres for summer. They are softbut still pleasantly cool to wear.Cashmere is not as hardwearing asmerino wool, but keeps its shapebetter than cotton and considerablybetter than linen. At the establish-ment of the Dusseldorf tailor Heinz-Josef Radermacher the client canchoose from a wide range of thisnoble cloth.
Lightweight woolen fabrics havelong been regarded as ideal forsummer. Fabrics like “Super 100” oreven lighter weights combine thegood qualities of pure wool with thelight, airy quality you want in sum-mer. With very lightweight grades ofpure wool you can get through thesummer almost crease free.
Many men find it difficult to think ofsilk as a suiting fabric, perhapsbecause most of them connect it pri-marily with the delicate Hermèsscarves worn by their wives or girl-friends. But silk dyed in appropriatecolors is an ideal material for sum-mer suits. The Italians are masters ofthe production and working of thisluxurious fabric.
Mohair, like cashmere, is spun fromthe hair of a goat and then woven.It is an extremely elastic materialand creases even less than merinowool, so it is ideal for formal sum-mer suits. Most men think of mohairas the typical fabric for a tuxedo –in black or dark blue evening dress,the sheen of the weave is particu-larly noticeable. In fact this charac-teristic luster makes it harder toenvisage mohair as correct for day-time wear. Although it is used forsuits that are to be worn during the
day, not many gentlemen havethese in their wardrobes.
Cotton is pleasantly cool to wear insummer and is therefore an idealmaterial for lightweight suits.However, the great disadvantage ofthese typically pale summer suits isthat they crease easily, which is aparticularly annoying featurebecause it affects the fit of the suit.Concertina folds inside the elbowand at the hollow of the knee, forinstance, make the sleeves andtrousers of the suit look too short.But many men either will put up withthis drawback because of the pleas-antly light feel of wearing cotton ordo not even feel that it is a disad-vantage.
Opinions on linen are divided.Traditionalists usually regard it as amaterial suitable only for whitehandkerchiefs. Others consider linen
the ultimate summer fabric and thinkthat its typical creases look distin-guished. You could call it a market-ing coup that an obvious drawbackhas been presented as a mark ofhigh quality. Irish linen is consideredthe best. Linen for summer wear canbe bought in many different weights,from heavy to very light. Since linencreases even more easily than cot-ton, and the creases do not hangout, it is not used much in classic ortraditional tailoring. The cut and fitof a linen suit does not aim to lookgood in spite of creasing, and sosuch suits fall into the province ofready-made designer clothing ratherthan good tailoring.
The Italian manufacturer Belvest is renowned for producing extremelylightweight suits that feel almost like shirts even in extreme summer tem-peratures.

THE SUIT116
Brooks Brothers is not only the most famous gentlemen’s out-fitters in the United States but also an American institution.When Andy Warhol received his first check in 1955 for aseries of advertisements for the shoe firm of I. Miller, hebought 100 identical white shirts from Brooks Brothers.
Brooks Brothers was founded in 1818, and can thuslook back on as long a tradition as many Europeangentlemen’s outfitters. Its history is closely linkedwith the history of America. For instance, on hissecond induction into office in 1864 PresidentAbraham Lincoln wore a coat from BrooksBrothers. Nineteen years before this memo-rable event, in 1845, Brooks Brothers sold itsfirst ready-made suit – a complete novelty inthe United States at the time. It was the pred-ecessor of today’s Brooks Brothers suit in thatit was a characteristic “sack suit” cut with nat-ural shoulders, three buttons, and a vent in theback of the jacket and the top buttonhole waspressed in with the lapel. Typical fabrics are blue andgray pinstripes, gray herringbone, Prince of Walescheck, plain blue, gray, and olive. Sizes range in single stepsfrom 36 inches up to 50 inches, with jackets in up to fivelengths – regular, short, medium long, long, and extra long– and trousers in regular, short, and long lengths. Alterationsare made in the firm’s own workshop. In addition, jacketsand trousers can be chosen in different sizes, something thatis not usually possible on the continent of Europe, and the
trousers come either with or without pleats. Prices are lowerthan for European ready-to-wear suits of good quality. Andif you do not need to buy suits off the rack, you can usuallyfind something to suit you here in the way of shirts, neckties,
underwear, socks, and above all sportswear. BrooksBrothers supply the originals we are used to seeing in
Ralph Lauren designer versions: check shirts,sweaters, rugby shirts, corduroy trousers, andchinos. The shoe department is worth visitingtoo, since the Brooks Brothers label sells,among other things, Alden’s famous cordovanshoes, which can be recognized by the largeeyelets for the laces. The great advantage ofBrooks Brothers, however, has always beenthat if you like something so much you wouldrather not try anything else for a change, youcan always reorder it. But today the firm dis-
plays traces of a modernizing trend regarded withsome skepticism by old Brooks Brothers customers,who feel that it is diluting its style and quality andmaking unnecessary concessions to modernity. It
is to be hoped that this will not lead to the loss of a sense ofthe firm’s identity, since its charm and strength lie in its main-tenance of tradition.
BROOKS BROTHERS
Brooks Brothers suits can bebought with either two or threebuttons. In the three-button ver-sion the top buttonhole ispressed in with the lapel so thatit cannot be buttoned up. Youshould never forget to point outthis feature to your dry cleaner,or the buttonhole will bepressed straight.
The Brooks Brothers suit has nat-ural, rounded shoulders, a fea-ture which is responsible for thecasual silhouette of the cut ofthe sack suit. The back vent is atypical feature. It allows free-dom of movement, and you canput your hands in your trouserpockets without pushing the
jacket out of shape. The onlydrawback is that then the jacketopens up at the back, allowinga view of the wearer’s behind –which is not always especiallyattractive. The trousers sit highon the hips, and can beordered with or without pleats.Although pleats went out offashion for a time in Europe, atthe end of the twentienth cen-tury many European men canscarcely imagine trousers with-out them. Whereas in America,trousers with unpleated frontare the norm and are held upby suspenders for the sake ofcomfort rather than fashion.

Seersucker is the summerclassic in New York. InEurope, on the other hand,men tend to look slightlyeccentric in a seersucker suit.The word derives from theIndian term shirushaker,meaning “puckered,” whichis in fact a good descriptionof the characteristic structureof the material. It can bebought in pure cotton or amixture of cotton and syn-thetic fibers. It is highly suit-able for summer wear, beingvery lightweight.
Prince of Wales check isregarded as very suitable forbusiness suits in the UnitedStates, where they say thatthis pattern is appropriate for“school, work, and travel.” Infact a suit in Prince of Walescheck is practically indestruc-tible, since it hardly showsstains. Men with black, gray,or white hair in particular findthat the pattern looks goodon them, but a man who israther short or thin shouldchoose it only for a single-breasted suit – otherwise itcan look overpowering.
A fine gray herringbone pat-tern in flannel is a realAmerican classic. Europeantailors use the material morerarely, but gray herringboneflannel is an interestingnuance in between plaingray wool and the moresporting look of a Prince ofWales check, which may notsuit all types of occasions.
Gray flannel has beenacceptable for business suitsin Europe only since the1950s. In America, it haslong been as popular withbankers and stockbrokers asthe dark blue, pinstriped, orherringbone suits which arecommon elsewhere.

APPENDIX344
LOOKING AFTER YOUR WARDROBEThe SuitIf you want to look after your suit, you must first handle it withcare. This does not mean treating it with kid gloves. On thecontrary, you will only look good in a suit if you move quiteunaffectedly when you wear it. Careful handling is just amatter of treating a suit with love and attention. As the productof great craftsmanship and many hours of work, it has earneda certain degree of respect. Anyone who has seen howmuch work goes into a good suit and how long it takes fora two-dimensional strip of fabric to be shaped into a pieceof clothing that fits the wearer perfectly will regard the gar-ment with new eyes. In practice, this means that the suitshould be hung up on a broad, well-shaped clothes hangerafter it has been worn. Ideally, the hanger should be shapedlike a pair of shoulders. The hanger does not need to bemade of wood as long as it is the right size and fills out thejacket.
The hangers on which suits are hung in shops arenarrow so that more clothes can be fitted onto the rails andinto the display units. In order to prevent the sensitive shoulderseam from stretching out of shape while the jacket is hungup on these narrow hangers, it is fixed with white cottonthread, which is removed after the suit has been purchased.Good hangers can be bought in a department store.
Pants should hang on a pants hanger, which clampsonto the bottom hem so that they are pulled into shape bytheir own weight. If you place great store on an immaculatelyironed crease, you can put your pants in a pants press, oriron your pants by hand. When you do this, always lay apiece of damp, white cotton cloth between the iron and thematerial. Otherwise, the suit will be shiny after it has beenironed.
Do make sure you have emptied the pockets beforeyou hang up a jacket. After a day in action a suit needs aday of rest. If it has been worn for several days in succes-sion, the rest period should be lengthened to match. Beforethe suit is hung away it should be given a quick brush. Thisshould be done with a clothes brush made of natural bristle.Clothes brushes are available in various grades for differenttypes of material. For example, particularly soft goat’s hairbrushes are used for sensitive cashmere. It is best to buy Eng-lish brushes, such as the ones produced by G. B. Kent & Son.You would be well advised to avoid the sticky rolls that aresupposed to pick up fluff. They leave behind traces of adhe-sive on the material, which can cause considerable damage.
It is definitely much better to simply remove hairs and fluffwith your fingertips.
Go gently when you brush your suit. Do not pull off thebuttons! The pockets also require careful treatment. Dirt reallybuilds up in the cuffs of a pair of pants. They should be emp-tied and brushed as often as possible. You should turn yourtrousers inside out now and then in order to brush them fromthe inside. A suit should not disappear into the wardrobestraight away after it has been brushed. It is better to let it airfor a while in an open window, on a balcony protected fromthe rain, or in a bathroom. Wool fibers need moisture to main-tain their elasticity. A steam bath is just as beneficial to a suitas a Turkish bath to its owner. Clothes can be steamed easilyin any bathroom. Close all the windows and air-vents, runhot water until steam forms, and then hang up the suit for awhile in the misty atmosphere you have created. This gets ridof creases and unpleasant odors.
The experts are not in agreement about dry cleaning.The traditionalists of Savile Row say that it is unnecessary:brushing, airing, and steaming are quite sufficient, whilestains should be treated individually. Others see no dangerin dry cleaning: the real problems are associated with howa garment is ironed afterwards. Anyone who has seen howa suit is treated at the dry-cleaners round the corner will def-initely stick to brushing and airing. Ironing a suit is a highlyskilled task, and getting a suit ready to be worn with an irontakes a very long time. Bad ironing can practically destroya suit. It is best to ask the leading gentlemen’s outfitters inyour area which dry-cleaning company offers the bestservice.
Custom-made clothes can be taken to a tailor to becleaned. He will also send your suit away to be cleaned,but will get it back unironed, and then iron it to a professionalstandard. In any case, if the suit fits well and the material isof the right weight for the time of year, it will not even needto be cleaned. After all, a suit hardly ever comes into directcontact with bare skin.
Tailors and valets have been relying on the“brush andsteam” method to get dirt and creases out of suits since
time immemorial.
