BERNHARD ROETZEL

An elegantly dressed man does not only look smart and attractive, he also implies confidence and respect. A self-assured appearance, excellent manners and carefully chosen quality garments are distinctive signs of a true gentleman.

 Paying tribute to the latest evolutions in fashion and social trends, this thoroughly revised edition of Bernhard Roetzel's tried-and-tested guide is set for the men of the 21st Century. And here is what Bernhard said about himself: Well, I am by profession, a copywriter. I used to work in advertising. I have studied graphic design in the 1980’s. Menswear was always my passion, my hobby, my pastime, and since I was a schoolboy — when other young guys went to Spain or the South of France or vacation — I traveled places like London or Paris, which is fortunately very close to Germany, and educated myself by walking around the streets, by looking at menswear stores, by looking at vintage shops. I went to flea markets. I hunted clothes like other people hunt souvenirs in Spain or Italy. I never ever thought of making this a profession. I am passionate about clothes and especially hand-made clothes. I found that hand-made clothes from days gone by were much more fascinating than what I found in the stores in the 1980’s.

How to dress for a certain occasion? Which accessories must a gentleman have in his wardrobe? Which shirt-makers and tailors are synonymous for indisputable taste? The new edition of this classic companion to the genuine gentlemen answers all these questions, and many more.
