A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up...

John Bridges, Bryan Curtis

A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style—it is a book about the rules—rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. 
Let’s get one thing straight. Clothes do not make the man . . . but they do make a difference. And regardless of whether we like the idea of appearances driving impressions, a man’s exterior often is perceived as an indicator of what’s happening on the interior. 
Fortunately, tasteful and appropriate dressing doesn’t require inordinate amounts of time or money. Any man can hit the door in fine shape with only a little forethought and a bit of attention to a few guidelines. Never mind the heady cologne and designer labels. With a navy blazer, a good bar of soap, and a regular haircut regimen, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the guy who knows exactly how to suit up, regardless of the occasion. Most important, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up illustrates how a man’s natural confidence and personality are the best foundation for any wardrobe. 
Accompanying charts and visual examples are included in the accompanying PDF.

Man Called X The - Volume 9 -...

Staff Writer

In Post-war America fear took on new forms.  The witch-hunt of superpower espionage swept the West.  If you weren’t a patriot you were suspect. 
We needed heroes.  We needed Mr X. 
Herbert Marshall played the role of agent Ken Thurston – the ‘Mr. X’ who travelled far and wide across the globe as he unravelled dangerous cases.  In this he was ably assisted, or perhaps annoyed, by a comedic side-kick; Pegon Zellschmidt. 
The Nation and ourselves were in safe hands even if he wasn’t.
