Am I a Chap? (Hardcover)

An illustrated guide to spotting dandies, cads, eccentrics and other species of English gentlemen. Am I A Chap? seeks to classify every species and subspecies of English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons within these isles. From the flamboyant young fop to the crusty old duffer, Am I A Chap? will help readers to spot them all in their natural habitat. The book looks at established chaps such as Beau Brummell, Max Beerbohm, Edward VIII, and Cary Grant; deceased dandies such as the Comte de Montesquiou and Fred Astaire; contemporary chaps, such as the Gentleman Explorer, the Libertine, the Old Codger, the Country Squire, the Bohemian Chap, the City Gent. It takes a look at the finer details of clothing, from the Cravat to the Brogue, via the Hacking jacket, the Umbrella, the Walking cane, the Fair Isle sweater, Pyjamas, the Blazer, Spats and, of course, the Panama. There are tips on where to find them, where they tend to gather, and the emporia worldwide whither Chaps progress in order to equip themselves. Laced with delicate humour and a wry wit, this is an indispensable handbook for the coat pocket of every enthusiastic chap-spotter all over the world.
