Valued for their craftsmanship, superlative quality, exclusivity, and the status they confer on their owners, these \"heritage houses\" have been synonymous with the nest production for hundreds of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lavish publication, now in a compact edition, celebrates the gentleman's search for the perfect sartorial detail or the ideal accessory. It features six historical chapters, from the Regency period to the present, each of which presents classic British marques, including shoemakers, jewelers, shirt and tie makers, cloth makers, perfumers, hatters, and vintners. The final chapter showcases the new generation of designer-artisans who are redefining notions of quality and handwork in the era of globalization and digital technologies. A reference section opens up the London gentleman's social world, from the shopping arcades--such as the Burlington--to hotels, including the Savoy, and the members' clubs and restaurants in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Sherwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500023727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500023723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 8.30w x 1.00d","brand":"James Sherwood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987484246271,"sku":"9780500023723","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_632d9da0-09c3-4bf8-bb1d-6edb04d1c929.jpg?v=1683289258","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-perfect-gentleman-james-sherwood-9780500023723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
