Garment sewing is no longer a way to save money. It has evolved into a rewarding, creative use of spare time. Some sewers get up early to sew for a couple of hours; others sew into the late-night talk-show battles. Actually, one of the most successful classes offered in quilt and sewing shops is the all-nighter. Sewing enthusiasts love taking these classes and workshops to get away from stresses at home and work-and to hone their sewing and surging skills to boot. Some just like to join other sewers for a sewathon.

How and Where to Buy the Best Men's Clothes

Alan Flusser, one of America's foremost menswear designers, knows fine clothes and where to buy them. He shares all this in his insightful and elegantly written treatise for the man interested in savvy attire. Tuck this volume into a corner of your suitcase and you'll be armed with a connoisseur's knowledge of the dos and don'ts of buying and wearing quality clothes and how much they should cost, from dinnerwear to casual sportswear. Open Style and the Man and learn about: what to wear when you shop and why the difference between a $395 and a $1,000 suit (and how to make sure you're getting your money's worth) what two words to look for on a costly dress shirt's label why the folds in a cummerbund should always be worn facing upward how to recognize sports clothes capable of providing stylish longevity

Turn to the author's 200 favorite men's stores spanning seventeen cities in eight countries' both celebrated designer flagships and tiny shops known only to a privileged few and discover: the little-known New York store that sells shoes that offer instant "cachet" where the fashion set goes for the best T-shirt

In Style and the Man, Alan Flusser has created the perfect traveling companion for those men wishing to expand their sartorial knowledge as well as their wardrobe.

Knowing What to Wear, How to Wear It, When to Wear It

A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style-it is a book about the rules-rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. It answers such questions as: What does "black tie optional" mean? What do I wear to a wedding at 7:00 on a Saturday evening? What do I wear to a job interview? What do I wear to a second interview, even if they observe a casual dress code? What do I wear to the Academy Awards? What do I wear to a funeral? And what button do I leave open on my suit coat?

This GentleManners book is divided into sections about specific items of clothing and specific accessories. It also delves into the different types of events to which a gentleman may find himself invited. The book concludes with sections on extreme etiquette, such as what to wear to meet the pope, and a section on fashion emergencies, such as what to do when your pants split.

 * A gentleman knows that dressing up may require going to great pains; but it does not require that he feel any pain at all.
 * A gentleman knows that a formal shirt does not have a button-down collar.
 * A colorblind gentleman is not ashamed to mention his disability to a clothing salesperson and to ask for assistance in selecting a shirt or tie to match a suit.
