First published in 2008, our perennial classic re-examined and re-defined the notion of the modern gentleman. Much has changed since then and our new edition provides an array of fresh perspectives and amusing insights.

This compendium of masculinity covers an eclectic range of topics, including impeccable tailoring and grooming; classic cocktails; travelling in style; clubs and casinos; country pursuits; training and exercise regimes; tipping and taxis in far-flung places; dressing for the boardroom, the beach or the golf course.

This essential handbook for the modern gentleman is enhanced by Debrett’s insights on the elusive concept of savoir-faire, the ability to act or speak appropriately in any social situation, from avoiding being patronising in the office and  courteous driving to elegant table manners and good sportsmanship. It isn’t about following arcane or courtly rules of behaviour, but about charm, modesty and confidence.

Chapter headings are as follows:

•Man at Work

•Maintenance

•At Home

•City Life

•Motoring

•The Traveller

•Gastronomy

•Relationships

We offer extensive advice on appearance and presentation, including grooming, a working wardrobe, casual dress and shaving. We also delve into other preoccupations, from creating a stylish home, collectables and curating a music library to sports and fitness, hobbies and adventures. Finally, we provide guidance on the world of gastronomy, from wine selection to cooking to impress, and take a look at courteous and civilised relationships, from romantic partners to in-laws and godchildren.

This is a book that will both entertain and edify.
