If you have a good stock, keep a roster, and let the first for duty take its turn. By this means they will always look fresh, and not hackneyed.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1876, \u003ci\u003eThe Gentleman's Art of Dressing with Economy \u003c\/i\u003eis an indispensable guide to how to look good on a budget. Dressing as a gentleman, we learn, requires far more than throwing money at the latest fashions; a more prudent and knowledgeable approach is necessary. Written by the enigmatic \"A Lounger at the Clubs,\" the book takes the modern-day reader back to a time of fashionable London West End clubs in Piccadilly and Pall Mall where appearance was everything. From this we learn the essential characteristics of true gentlemanly dress and then, through a consideration of each article of clothing, how this look can be successfully achieved on a less generous budget. The combination of dry Victorian wit and genuinely sound advice makes this book the ideal gift for the modern-day man who is seeking to smarten his appearance while also tightening his financial belt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Library Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007560663280,"sku":"9780712358866","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780712358866_p0.jpg?v=1763623236","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780712358866","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
