Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Most working-class men have little knowledge about formalwear. When they are told to attend a formal event, they just go into a clothing store to buy or rent a set of formalwear. The problem is that salespersons in most convenient clothing stores may not have adequate knowledge to give them sound advice. Even if salespersons know what they are doing, the stores may not always have the correct forms or styles of formalwear. Many stores sell or rent tuxedo trousers to go with the tailcoats, which is inappropriate. In truth, regular clothing or rental stores tend to carry wrong items simply because the items are popular or profitable. Consumers often must substitute the appropriate with the inappropriate. Imagine how embarrassed it can be if you are the only one or one of the few people who dress in a wrong dress code in an important formal party. Most men search information online these days. They shop in the Internet and watch videos on YouTube to learn things such as how to tie a bowtie. Few men are willing to spend money to buy and read a book about an article of clothing that they hardly wear. Whereas some information in the Internet are useful, some may be incomplete or even misleading or erroneous. Dr. Ivan Chen have sold, rented and custom-made formalwear for many years. In this book, Dr. Chen provides a comprehensive review on the essentials of contemporary formalwear. Many of his insights are original and have never appeared in the literature both online and in print. For those few consumers who are interested in formal clothing, they will find this book exceptionally entertaining and informative. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Suits and sport jackets are among the most important items in a man's wardrobe not only because of their prices, but also because of their visibility. Today, important business transactions and international affairs are conducted by men and women who wear suits or some kinds of jackets. Most men are not wearing a correct suit or are not wearing a suit correctly. Alan Flusser, a prominent fashion designer, believes 90% of all men wear their coat sleeves too long. The sleeve length is one of the most obvious areas. If a man can make such a mistake, he probably will make more mistakes in other areas. Contemporary writings on men's suits and sport jackets are ineffective in teaching consumers what to buy. Most publications describe every style and detail of suits and sport jackets but fail to suggest or explain which style or detail is preferred. This book focuses on how to shop and wear suits and sport coats. Dr. Ivan Chen has sold men's clothing for more than a decade. His advice has changed tens of thousands of people's mind about men's clothing. Many of his recommendations are original and have never appeared in previous literature. If you cup your fingers to determine the length of your jacket, do not know why pants should be finished with a slanted bottom, or you send your suits to dry cleaners and have them damaged regularly, this book is a must read for you. This book will surprise you and save you a lot of money by buying and wearing the right suit correctly. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Many men think good quality clothes will make them look good. They do not realize that a man may not be given credit for the quality of his clothes because people know that he did not make the clothes he is wearing. But, people will give the man credit if he coordinates his clothes nicely and wear them correctly. Less quality clothes that fit look more attractive than good quality clothes that do not fit. To wear the clothes right is as important as to wear the right clothes. Dr. Ivan M.C. Chen has sold men's clothing for more than a decade. He has found that the most effective and efficient way to teach customers how to buy and wear men's clothing is to show them pictures of men wearing correct and incorrect articles of clothing. This book collects hundreds of interesting photos that have persuaded tens of thousands of consumers about men's clothing. Readers will find this book useful as well as entertaining.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." If you wear clothes, why not wear the right ones correctly?

This unique book reveals more than fifty big and small secrets that most men neglect. The secrets have never appeared in previous literature because most fashion experts and writers do not know these secrets either. * Why do so many men wear a crooked bowtie? * Why is it smart to hang your necktie according to the length of your face instead of the location of your pant waist? * Why is it dangerous to wear the Atlantic and Merovingian Knot? * Why shouldn't you wear shirt sleeves the same length of your arms? * Why shouldn't you wear the same sleeve length for both barrel and French cuff shirts? * Why shouldn't you iron or starch a non-iron shirt? * Why shouldn't you cup your fingers to determine the proper length of a jacket? * Why is it wise to choose between a two-button and a three-button jacket based on the balance points of your face? * Why is it better to have the pant legs finished with a slanted bottom? * Why is it unnecessary to match between the colors of your socks, pants and shoes? * What are the advantages of mercerized cotton? * Why should you vary the colors of your clothing for health benefits? (Do you know a blue shirt only allows blue light to pass through and reach your skin?) * Where should you wear a tie tack, clip or chain on your tie? * And much, much more.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Everybody knows that first things come first but few men know what the first things are in men's clothing. Most men waste much of their time and effort buying the wrong articles of clothing because they are looking for the wrong things. Here are some examples. 1) Most consumers believe quality garments wear better and last longer, but they have no clear ideas concerning how to judge the quality of products. So, they buy expensive clothing or buy whatever famous designers make. 2)The vast majority of consumers want to buy a tie that looks sharp, beautiful or fun. They also want the tie to match their jacket, shirt and slacks. The tie looks sharp, but the wearer is not. Most men never realize that the primary goal of men's clothing is not to look pretty or handsome. 3)Many men buy fancy suits and have the suits altered incorrectly or send the suit to a dry-cleaner regularly to have the suits damaged by chemicals or by over-pressing. The mistakes can be avoided if consumers know how to put the first things first. If a man buys everything he wears according to his face, he will have less to worry about which articles of clothing coordinate well with other clothing items. If a man buys the right size clothing according to current standards in the industry instead of the brand name or price tag, he will have less to worry about whether his clothing items will wear better and last longer. This book lists a number of first things that consumers should know when shopping and wearing men's clothing. Once they set their priorities straight, they will find it difficult to buy and wear the wrong articles of clothing. They will also find it easier to buy what they need or want.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." Clothes make the man, but there are good clothes and bad clothes. One of the most insulting words that I have ever heard is what Meg Ryan said to Tom Hanks in the movie, You've got mail, "You are nothing but a suit." The words were so hurtful that Hanks went silent for a couple of minutes. Billions of men wear suits. Many of them do not wear good suits or the right suits. Often, it is the fine details that distinguish the good clothes. Most men worry much about the obvious but pay little or no attention to details. They wear fancy suits but cannot get their sleeve length right. They prefer cuffed to non-cuffed pants but have their pants cuffed at the wrong width. They wear expensive ties with a sloppy knot or at the wrong length, and are incapable of arching out their ties. They wear dress shirt collars that are far larger than their neck. And, they wear their pants so long that multiple breaks form at the bottom back of the pants. The minute wrong detailing can spoil a good outfit. These are just a few examples to demonstrate that small details can play an important role on how a man dresses and looks. Because contemporary men's clothing lacks variety, even a small detail can and will make difference to a simple outfit. This book discusses many details that should not and cannot be neglected by any man who wishes to dress well. It truly is a perfect book for a perfectionist. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Contemporary men's clothing lacks variety. Many men are unsatisfied with the uniform look of their clothing and are craving uncommon ways to dress differently. But, they often use the wrong or unnecessary approaches in an attempt to reach their goals. Some men like to show off unusual tie knots such as Merovingian and Eldredge, which they learned from the Internet. The knots are created by wrapping the small end around the tie apron (or blade). The knots are dangerous because the wearer can be choked instantly if the tie apron is pulled. Many men also have wrong or ill-advised concepts or beliefs about men's clothing. They mistakenly or unwisely think that a round face should be complemented with a point collar, a spread collar requires a large tie knot, socks should relate to either the shoes or the pants, and a pocket square should match the tie, and so on. Misconceptions and malpractices exist or pervade because few authorities are willing or able to discuss the problems and offer rational and effective solutions. This book covers a number of topics, which are not commonly discussed in contemporary literature. The author has sold men's clothing for more than twenty years to hundreds of thousands of customers in person. He offers many of his unique keen insights in this book. He explains the advantages and disadvantages of the spread and button-down collar better than any other author. He also emphasizes the importance of mass balance in determining the proper length of a suit jacket. No other author ever suggests that a man should wear different sleeve lengths for barrel cuff and French cuff shirts. Readers will find the discussions not only amusing but also practical.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An accountant in the movie, Confession, said "It is not hard to do the right things. It is hard to know what the right things are. Once you know what the right things are, it is very hard not to do the right things." After spoke with hundreds of thousands of customers face-to-face over two decades, the author is not 100% sure the accountant is entirely correct. People don't always do the right things for various reasons. Many people do not pay much attention to their clothing perhaps because their life experience has taught them that dressing a little better or worse does not seem to have a determinate impact on their life. Most men cup their fingers to determine the proper length of the jacket. When they were told the method had been wrong perhaps for hundreds of years, they were stunned and did not know what else to do. They got lost when they were told it is wise to judge the length of jackets by the ideal man's figure while keeping the mass of the upper and lower body balanced. Many men want to wear their pants long but do not like the bottom front bunching up. Other men prefer no break in the front but do not like the high-water look in the back. They never realize they can have their pants cut short in the front and long in the back at the same time. The secret is to slant the bottom of the pants. Merriam and Webster Dictionary defines food for thought as "something that should be thought about or considered carefully." This book collects many topics on men's clothing that warrant serious consideration. Many of the ideas in this book not only are creative, entertaining and thought provoking, but also have been proven useful by a huge number of consumers. The information will be beneficial to the readers of this book as well. This item is printed on demand.
