- Book Synopsis
- An hilarious manual for correctly spotting the English gentleman, including dandies, cads, and eccentrics Seeking to classify every species and sub-species of English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons, this guide ranges from the flamboyant young fop to the crusty old duffer. Looking at established chaps such as Beau Brummel and Cary Grant and taking in deceased chaps such as the Comte de Montesquiou and Fred Astaire, the book takes us up to the present day with contemporary types such as the Bohemian Chap, the Libertine, the Old Codger, and the City Gent. Full of barbed wit and helpful tips on how to correctly wear one's spats, this is a pocket-sized prestige gift for aspirantly stylish chaps and chapesses.
- About The Author
- Gustav Temple is the founder of The Chap magazine, the satirical gentleman's journal first published in 1999. He is also the author of The Chap Manifesto and the organizer of the annual Chap Olympics, an annual Olympiad for the over-dressed, in which sportsmanship, athleticism, and physical strength are not rewarded as highly as panache, guile, and sporting a well-pressed trouser.
