Clothes and the Man by Alan Flusser. 1985 (out of print but copies can be purchased on Amazon).
From Publishers Weekly
“A sense of style is acquired,” notes menswear designer Flusser (Making the Man), and “the ultimate aim of this book is to try to educate the reader about the basic principles of fine dressing.” Through his overview of changes in men’s fashions from the 1930s (“the height of elegance”) to the present, and his discussion of the current styles of suits, shirts, shoes and accessories, the author attains his goal. There are tips on fit and color coordination, recommendations for appropriate wear for different occasions, clothing suggestions for other-than-average figures (playing down a full figure, drawing attention away from long legs, giving the illusion of height to a short man) and drawings that illustrate what Flusser decrees to be the right way to knot a tie or fold a handkerchief. A useful guide by an expert in the field.Shout out to:abitofcolor

Naples Salvatore Ambrosi adds abitofcolor to the waist band of his trousers. If you ever have a chance to have Salvatore make you a pair of pants, by all means do it. You will be spoiled. Aside from the amazing fit and handwork, note the details such as the button fly and button cuffs. You never know when you might have to clean out spilled caviar……..

Bontoni makes some of the most comfortable and most commented-on shoes I have ever owned. I get stopped and asked where I bought them almost every time I wear them. Best of all, if you order them at a trunk show you can specify the color of the finish….and they have many delicious colors to choose from.
