Suits You, Sir

 Although most suits are a mere three metres of fabric, that is apparently all one man needs to make a bold statement; from James Bond to Barack Obama, rockstars to royals, the suit is as versatile as it is iconic. Musgrave's tome examines the jacket-and-trousers combo in painstaking detail, exploring the evolution of the suit from 19th-century bespoke to mass industrialisation at the beginning of the 20th-century. And Musgrave would know, having worked as the launch editor of FHM back in the 80s and as the editorial director of Drapers from 2000 to 2006. We can only imagine what slick suits he wore to the office, from chic classics to more outrageous ensembles. A bible for anyone who covets style, Sharp Suits says it all. www.anovabooks.com / Images: Anova Books  |
