Apologies if this has been done before.

I'm relatively new to Styleforum and the world of mens tailoring. I received a copy of Le Snob by Simon Crompton today, and have to say that it's a great read and really helps to explain some of the terminology associated with mens tailoring. I would highly recommend it to anyone else in a similar position to me.

I also have copies of History of Men's Fashion by Nicholas Storey and Gentleman by Bernhard Roetzel. Both are fascinating books, but I feel that Le Snob packs a lot more info into a relatively small volume.

Does anyone on here have any other recommendations?

Regards,

Andy
