Description: "A new title in the Skira fashion-guide series for modern men. Uman: The Essays is a series of commentaries by contemporary connoisseurs, who explore the sources of men's costume to reveal the traditions and ethos at the basis of the ideal wardrobe. The authors are all well-known journalists and writers, and their entertaining essays tell us about ancient traditions, the history of fashion, unheard sartorial expressions, and VIPs' habits and private passions"--Publisher's web site.
Notes: An essay on the influence of double-breasted blazers and sailors' uniforms on men's jackets.
