"...it is excellent....unlike any author in the last twenty years,
NJS nails down the essence of British style in a very entertaining
way. He also defends our cultural treasure...in a bold and manly
manner that is worth the price of the book itself...It is a style
that is likely going to make the many good lessons contained in the
'History of Men's Fashion' palatable and accessible for
readers."--Michael Alden, founder of www.thelondonlounge.net
