I love everything about Brian Sacawa 😃
A mature man with style and good manners. Good lesson for the discriminating gentleman ❤

[alangilliland]

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

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.

Great options! I would also add 'Esquire's encyclopedia of 20th century men's fashions' . It does come at a hefty price, however

[JohnBrown-goro]

Thanks for the recommendations and Happy Holidays.

LOVED this video. Also, you have a really gentle bedside manner. Subbed af.

[paulkim]

This is a dope video, man. Super informative, and I’ve definitely not seen anything like this in the men’s fashion space on YouTube. Thanks bro

Jeremy from Blamo has had some of these authors on his Blamo! podcast. Bonus recommendation!

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

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.

[gaving]

Great switch up, Brian! Thinking outside the box

[somewonderfulguy]

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!

[Yoshiiix]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much!

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.

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.

Nice review but I am interested to know in what order would you rate them?

[DemetriosLevi]

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!

[mirto]

Great books! I own three of them. Will definitely look for some others. Thanks

[wajihkhan]

Superb.
I always take screenshots from Instagram ...
Now ill get these books!

[lordrandal]

As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I'm glad to see that Basil Rathbone appears in two of these books
