You just hit a Grand Slam with this episode! Lisa Birbach's venerable lighthearted standard "The Preppy Handbook" arguably kicked off the articulation of clothing style to the American mass market, defining principles of quality, utility, and timelessness.
Thanks for putting the time to link all of them in your description, really helpful. I only have the Flusser classics, the Tom Ford book, 50y Ralph and planning to buy the Flusser RL but now I got to have the Men in style! I just love vintage illustrations and didn’t think a book compiling a lot of them existed. Maybe as a next episode you can do one about books on watches, there are amazing ones out there
Absolutely great! Thank you Brian for the list and the loads of material! With your video of your favourite Instagrams this is a great way to learn men's style!
One that I have and value: Gentlemen - A Timeless Guide to Fashion by Bernhard Roetzel. A fantastic HC book with many, many color pictures and style suggestions to reference. Essential in any style collection for good coffee table reading.
Excellent video with those nuances that are essential. These are indeed the topics we as tailors discuss with our principals and many have these books. A mirror and commom sense is a good read too :).
He Spoke Style I am really impressed the way you replied to my comment. can you give me advice sir about style of my first suit. I think/search a lot before purchasing any cloth. I love to style and present my self as a well dressed person. Should I go for single or double breasted suit. If single then peak or notch lepal. I want to have wide lepals Give me advice sir
This. Is. Gold. Brian. A Dictionary of Color Combinations is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Have you read The Italian Gentleman or The Parisian Gentleman by Hugo Jacomet? I haven't myself but the Italian Gentleman has been on my wish list for a while now. Thank you so much for this video, Brian!
I am definetly proud of my handsigned copy of "The Italian Gentleman"! :-) But there are some other great recommendations in here, I need to check them out!
My favorite men's style book is "The Suit" by Nicholas Antongiavanni, a.k.a. Michael Anton. The author is opinionated, willing to offer clear rules, and includes helpful analysis -- good and bad -- of the style choices of public figures. Antongiavanni is a speechwriter in real life, so the writing is well done.
Hi brian I wanted to ask you if you can make a video about maintaining clothes and how to store them appropriately when you have a limited amount of space available. Thanks 🌹
Does anyone have recommendations for books with lots of pictures of my recent street styles (coloured pics) for example Ralph Lauren colourful style pics with perhaps some little blurb about the outfit or what makes it work etc
I must say I should make time to acquire and read at least some of the books mentioned, they all sound very interesting. I have a question, do you subscribe to or regularly read any magazines on men's style?
I have Seen some Mad Men Books in the background of some Videos. I am a huge Fan of the Show and would kindly ask you if you can recomand this Books? Awesome Video btw👍🏽😉
He Spoke Style Perfect! In addition to that and this top list, maybe you can make a top Movie/ TV Show list for stylisch men. For example Mad Men had a huge impact on my personal style. Just a video idea i had while watching this video.
Great books but I couldn't find "House of Nutter: The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row" in your collection. Fascinating read on one of the greats. Edward Sexton and Joe Morgan worked with Tommy Nutter in the 60s and 70s and owe much of their style to that period 🙂
I love everything about Brian Sacawa 😃
A mature man with style and good manners. Good lesson for the discriminating gentleman ❤
You're very kind. Thanks so much for the nice words and support.

Wow!
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.
Extremely useful guide.
Love your taste,Brian.
Keep up the great work.

You're very welcome. This has been requested several times so wanted to make it as exhaustive as I could!
Thanks for the recommendations and Happy Holidays.
You're very welcome.
Absolutely great! Thank you Brian for the list and the loads of material! With your video of your favourite Instagrams this is a great way to learn men's style!
Thanks so much, Dmitry. Appreciate the comment and support!
LOVED this video. Also, you have a really gentle bedside manner. Subbed af.
HRH thanks so much! Glad to have you.
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much!
You're very welcome.
Great options! I would also add 'Esquire's encyclopedia of 20th century men's fashions' . It does come at a hefty price, however
Darren K yessir!
This is a dope video, man. Super informative, and I’ve definitely not seen anything like this in the men’s fashion space on TH-cam. Thanks bro
You're very welcome! Thanks, Paul!
David Goggins rocks the navy seals, ultra endurance, and men's style world. Hell Yeah! 🤣
Great switch up, Brian! Thinking outside the box
Gavin G this one was highly requested. Just took a while to put together.
Jeremy from Blamo has had some of these authors on his Blamo! podcast. Bonus recommendation!
Two bonuses!
One that I have and value: Gentlemen - A Timeless Guide to Fashion by Bernhard Roetzel. A fantastic HC book with many, many color pictures and style suggestions to reference. Essential in any style collection for good coffee table reading.
Christopher LaPointe totally agree.
Great books! I own three of them. Will definitely look for some others. Thanks
Sweet! Thanks for chiming in.
Thank you man.
Great books, I’ll be gifting some of those now, cheers...
Awesome!
Dressing the man is my favorite by far. Although, I don't have Gentleman. So, I'll have to pick up a copy of that.
You’ll love it.
Superb.
I always take screenshots from Instagram ...
Now ill get these books!
Sweet!
Thanks for curating
You're very welcome, Steve.
Excellent video with those nuances that are essential. These are indeed the topics we as tailors discuss with our principals and many have these books. A mirror and commom sense is a good read too :).
Haha. Cheers.
@@hespokestyle thanks keep rolling, maybe some content about cloth. I can bring you in touch with all British and Italian Mills.
Just purchased dressing the man yesterday...good timing lol
Leonard Tabone great buy. Enjoy it.
Will surely read atleast one of these
Nice!
Brian, love the channel! Where’s the cable turtleneck from?
Eugene Datoc thanks! It’s from pini Parma.
I think it’s the best Topic that you have covered. I like all of your videos but this absolutely brilliant ❤️❤️👍
Ravi Sidhu many thanks. Appreciate the comment and support.

Great video!!!
Many thanks!

I haven't myself but the Italian Gentleman has been on my wish list for a while now. Thank you so much for this video, Brian!
Thanks, Demetrios! Have both those books. They're nice but I wouldn't necessarily call them must-haves. I WILL get back to your email too!
@@hespokestyle Ah, that's definitely fair! I can't wait to grab some of these books tho...and no problem, Brian! No rush here :)

Nice review but I am interested to know in what order would you rate them?
Hi brian
I wanted to ask you if you can make a video about maintaining clothes and how to store them appropriately when you have a limited amount of space available.
Thanks 🌹
Ooh, tough one. will consider. Thanks for chiming in.
Thanks for sharing Brian! I’d love to see your favourite watch books too ;)
Nice topic! Thanks!
What a great video. If only I had the money!
john robinson many thanks! Christmas gifts?
Your high neck t shirt is nice, it looks really attractive on you
Thank's Mr Brain @hespokestyle ❤️🙏
You got it!
As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I'm glad to see that Basil Rathbone appears in two of these books
Nice!
Thanks.
Ron M you’re welcome.
Thx
very interesting video!
DAZ - Guitar & Metal Videos thanks for chiming in.
Does anyone have recommendations for books with lots of pictures of my recent street styles (coloured pics) for example Ralph Lauren colourful style pics with perhaps some little blurb about the outfit or what makes it work etc
Must-Have Men Style Books! ''The Parisian Gentleman'' by Hugo Jacomet and ''The Italian Gentleman'' by Hugo Jacomet.
Hi Brian can you do a video on burgundy suits and the combos that go with them from dress shirts to ties to shows indepthly thanks.
Jarod ORla thanks for the idea!
@@hespokestyle I know how busy you are so I know I wont get it on time for christmas so I will humbly accept it as my belated xmas gift lol
I like that Lagavulin.
It's an all-time favorite.

Wheres is your turtleneck from? Pini Parma or spier and mackay?
Bought Dressing the Man :)
I must say I should make time to acquire and read at least some of the books mentioned, they all sound very interesting. I have a question, do you subscribe to or regularly read any magazines on men's style?
Yes, I subscribe to The Rake, Hodinkee Magazine, Esquire, and Cigar Aficionado.
I have Seen some Mad Men Books in the background of some Videos. I am a huge Fan of the Show and would kindly ask you if you can recomand this Books? Awesome Video btw👍🏽😉
Yup! Available in the HSS Shop: bit.ly/2X8Lg4j
It's a book for the serious Mad Men connoisseur.
He Spoke Style Perfect! In addition to that and this top list, maybe you can make a top Movie/ TV Show list for stylisch men. For example Mad Men had a huge impact on my personal style.
Just a video idea i had while watching this video.
You should definitely make a video about your whiskey collection
Ah, it's not that impressive.
You don’t really need many when you have lagavulin 16 😉
Great books but I couldn't find "House of Nutter: The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row" in your collection. Fascinating read on one of the greats. Edward Sexton and Joe Morgan worked with Tommy Nutter in the 60s and 70s and owe much of their style to that period 🙂
Will have to pick that up. I am a fan of Sexton, for sure. Was my first London bespoke suit.
Can I spot two Filson briefcases there (2:04)? Yellow & green? :)
Yes, you can!
Seriously thinking about getting one in blue. Any thoughts about if it’s too rough for business casual looks?
"Color for Men." ;)
I like your “Roll Neck Jumper”
Jumper is the English name for Sweater 👍
andrew kelly yeah, great sweater!
Many thanks, Andrew! It's by Pini Parma.
Thanks! By Pini Parma.
Where did you get your eyeglass frames from and what is the name of the frames? They look great!
They're the Cubitts Herbrand: bit.ly/2ofS18i
What about The Italian Gentleman from Hugo Jacomet? Wow very sad you didnt mention it
Not essential, IMO. But good!
Everything from Bruce Boyer in English or Bernhard Roetzl in German
Yessir!
RIP Glen O’Brien 🙏🏾
Christopher Davis indeed
Pretty early
Well done!
Not a fan of “The Parisian Gentleman”?
I own it and it's listed down there in the complete collection. Not a must-have, IMO.
Glenn O'Brien died on April 2017.
Yes, he did.
Why buy a book about fashion if you have the internet
Sean Schet because books are nice? Completely different feel.
Seriously dissing Glenn O'Brien? Grouch? Opinionated? O'Brien's pinky has more style, taste and wit than your entire channel. Sheesh.
Thanks for your opinion.
I must nothing. Goodbye subscription
Later, Cedar Canoe!
Cool video, Im a girl, but I want all these books now 😂🥹
