Synopsis

The first volume of The Mr Porter Paperback: The Manual for a Stylish Life is a witty compendium of life and style advice for the modern man. Compiled by Mr Porters Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Langmead, it covers everything from the essential (how to take care of dress shoes or charm the in-laws) to the just-in-case (how to pull off daring feats or dance at a wedding). Derived from the sites online journal (which has a large readership), the diverse content includes interviews with male icons inside and outside the fashion world (John Pawson, David Hockney, Irvine Welsh...); profiles of style icons past and present (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bob Dylan, River Phoenix, Haile Selassie, Tom Waits and many more); mini-features on fashion classics including the knitted tie, the biker jacket, the polo shirt; sixty pages of The Knack, snippets of advice on everything from how to behave in a spa to how to mix a Bloody Mary; and much more. The cover is crafted to evoke traditional letterpress printing methods and the book comes with a silk ribbon bookmark.

About this title

Review:

Well worth getting into. --Daily Telegraph

As a jauntily compiled style guide by super-slick retailer Mr Porter in conjunction with Smythson might hint, this is a very fashionable book. --Shortlist

Make sure your man never puts a fashion foot wrong with this style guide. --Look

Perfect bedtime reading. --GroomingGuru.co.uk

Learn from the best. --Exclusive Magazine
