In a new compact edition, a luxurious celebration of the elegant craftsmanship behind the timeless French men’s fashion and lifestyle labels. Home of haute couture and the world’s leading fashion houses, Paris and its inhabitants represent sophistication and refinement to the rest of the world. Debonair Parisian men continue to participate in a centuries-long tradition of sartorial craftsmanship and quality. In its newly accessible compact edition, The Parisian Gentleman is like a dream shopping excursion to the leading men’s style-makers, from hidden ateliers and little-known studios to internationally renowned labels such as shirtmakers Charvet, shoemakers Berluti, and the recently revived trunk-makers Moynat. The stories behind each house, and the creative minds and artisans who give each brand its unique identity, bring the clothes alive, capturing an unceasing dedication to quality in an era overrun with new, mass-produced trends. Author Hugo Jacomet’s portraits of these often-inaccessible marques (or brands) are intimate and illuminating, thanks to his personal connections to many of the leading figures. His text is accompanied by beautifully shot photographs of the designers, studios, garments, and locations, the majority of which were taken exclusively for this book. 350+ illustrations Review: C'est la vie - What's more delightful than Paris and French fashion.

Highlights of the highlife.
This is a gentleman who has really done his homework on the best of everything that Paris has to offer the true flaneur and well dressed man. Bravo, lovely book.

A visually impressive book, but not without issues
A visually impressive book with enjoyable and informative text. I would have preferred more space devoted to some of the Paris sartorial institutions that are no longer, such as Arny's (and not its ghastly successor on Rue de Sevres) and Old England. I'm also a little sick of the current trend that makes sartorial books these enormous and unwieldy coffee table books, which is what this is.
