FROM TIP TO TOE

-The Essential Men's Wardrobe

Robert Klanten, Sven Ehmann

A guide for those who want to be impeccably stylish, this book presents iconic men’s clothing from a carefully curated selection of brands, makers, and shops around the world.
 
About This Book
Men who are style-savvy exude a sense of relaxed confidence—from the hats on their heads to the soles of their shoes. To achieve this flair, they need a dependable set of sartorial tools that will see them through any occasion in any season, and bring out their individual personality.
 
From Tip to Toe features a carefully curated collection of brands and makers who all embody this spirit, as well as a selection of recommended shops from around the world. Some have long and storied histories while others bring new thinking to the table, but what they all share is a sense of quality, honesty, and élan that won’t let the stylish man down.
 
For any man, appearing timeless and laid-back at once is a challenge. What styles suit me? Who makes the best shoes? Where can I buy suits that are actually worth the money? Which pattern, which fabric, and which cut? From Tip to Toe answers all of these questions and many more.
 
Quality clothing shops can provide an overview of the countless manufacturers and products that are currently available, but this book is a fundamental guide to the pieces that ought to accompany a man throughout his life. From the hat on his head to the sole of his shoe, From Tip to Toe presents the ever-essential items and accessories of a man’s wardrobe in seven chapters: Casual, Formal, Heritage, Countryside, Sportswear, Festivities, and Functional. These iconic pieces are worn by men who know exactly what they want and stick to it. As the dandies before them, these men pay attention to details.
 
The featured products from small manufacturers and select brands do not embody superficial luxury, but rather represent authenticity, handcraft, quality, originality, and character. This compendium of male style showcases products that range from the elegant to the sporty, from the eccentric to the rustic, but which always stand out from the mainstream. These are items that accompany a man without overshadowing him.
 
From Tip to Toe is a book for men who have found their style but who seek to continuously develop and refine it.

“Fashions fade, Style is eternal”, with this statement this monumental book opens: “Style is the exclusive fox – a notion that is often discussed, dissected, sought, and cultivated, but so rarely mastered.” In this introduction text by Duncan Campbell the necessity of having style is explained as “street style blogs continue to multiply at an exponential rate and today the excitement generated outside fashion show has no trouble rivaling what’s going on inside. Now more than ever, style is no longer something merely to be enjoyed, but also to be captured, compared, and collated. Whether this is an improvement on the past is open to discussion, and there are certainly those who think this new area of scrutiny is a symptom of our selfie-obsessed times. But whichever camp you fall into, it does mean that it’s never been easier to learn about and appreciate men’s style.”

After sketching style icons like Lord Byron, Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire or among others Paul Newman who lived certain aspects of their lives as a performance, creating characters for themselves as a means of emancipation or rebirth, this book will help to point out how to gain a particular skill by knowing what to wear by introducing persons, firms, goods and accessories in Country wear style in The Road To Tweed, pages filled with knitwear, shoes, flat caps, gloves and boots; Off the Cuff showing suits, bags, hats, scarfs, ties, and the like; Here’s to You shows outfits for festivities, occasions, and parties. All with good introduction texts and good photos and examples. On the pages Game, Set, and Match you can find all casual sports outfits and as in Lock, Stock, and Barrel the robust, manly outfits are described, Comfort Zone the casual wear in the professional environment while Tested and Proven closes the well-made book showing solution-driven, protective and comfortable labels.

So, ladies and gentlemen, no more excuses, now you can live in style! “Now more than ever, style is no longer something merely to be enjoyed, but also to be captured, compared and collated.”
