Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." Clothes make the man, but there are good clothes and bad clothes. One of the most insulting words that I have ever heard is what Meg Ryan said to Tom Hanks in the movie, You've got mail, "You are nothing but a suit." The words were so hurtful that Hanks went silent for a couple of minutes. Billions of men wear suits. Many of them do not wear good suits or the right suits. Often, it is the fine details that distinguish the good clothes. Most men worry much about the obvious but pay little or no attention to details. They wear fancy suits but cannot get their sleeve length right. They prefer cuffed to non-cuffed pants but have their pants cuffed at the wrong width. They wear expensive ties with a sloppy knot or at the wrong length, and are incapable of arching out their ties. They wear dress shirt collars that are far larger than their neck. And, they wear their pants so long that multiple breaks form at the bottom back of the pants. The minute wrong detailing can spoil a good outfit. These are just a few examples to demonstrate that small details can play an important role on how a man dresses and looks. Because contemporary men's clothing lacks variety, even a small detail can and will make difference to a simple outfit. This book discusses many details that should not and cannot be neglected by any man who wishes to dress well. It truly is a perfect book for a perfectionist.

Everybody knows that first things come first but few men know what the first things are in men's clothing. Most men waste much of their time and effort buying the wrong articles of clothing because they are looking for the wrong things. Here are some examples. 1) Most consumers believe quality garments wear better and last longer, but they have no clear ideas concerning how to judge the quality of products. So, they buy expensive clothing or buy whatever famous designers make. 2)The vast majority of consumers want to buy a tie that looks sharp, beautiful or fun. They also want the tie to match their jacket, shirt and slacks. The tie looks sharp, but the wearer is not. Most men never realize that the primary goal of men's clothing is not to look pretty or handsome. 3)Many men buy fancy suits and have the suits altered incorrectly or send the suit to a dry-cleaner regularly to have the suits damaged by chemicals or by over-pressing. The mistakes can be avoided if consumers know how to put the first things first. If a man buys everything he wears according to his face, he will have less to worry about which articles of clothing coordinate well with other clothing items. If a man buys the right size clothing according to current standards in the industry instead of the brand name or price tag, he will have less to worry about whether his clothing items will wear better and last longer. This book lists a number of first things that consumers should know when shopping and wearing men's clothing. Once they set their priorities straight, they will find it difficult to buy and wear the wrong articles of clothing. They will also find it easier to buy what they need or want.

Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." If you wear clothes, why not wear the right ones correctly? The problem is that most men do not know what the right clothes are or how to wear and care for their clothes properly. This unique book reveals more than fifty big and small secrets that most men neglect. The secrets have never appeared in previous literature because most fashion experts and writers do not know these secrets either. * Why do so many men wear a crooked bowtie? * Why is it smart to hang your necktie according to the length of your face instead of the location of your pant waist? * Why is it dangerous to wear the Atlantic and Merovingian Knot? * Why shouldn't you wear shirt sleeves the same length of your arms? * Why shouldn't you wear the same sleeve length for both barrel and French cuff shirts? * Why shouldn't you iron or starch a non-iron shirt? * Why shouldn't you cup your fingers to determine the proper length of a jacket? * Why is it wise to choose between a two-button and a three-button jacket based on the balance points of your face? * Why is it better to have the pant legs finished with a slanted bottom? * Why is it unnecessary to match between the colors of your socks, pants and shoes? * What are the advantages of mercerized cotton? * Why should you vary the colors of your clothing for health benefits? (Do you know a blue shirt only allows blue light to pass through and reach your skin?) * Where should you wear a tie tack, clip or chain on your tie? * And much, much more. Dr. Ivan Chen has written a dozen books on men's clothing, which few fashion experts were able to write. If you refuse to receive the same old or wrong information and advice from other sources, Dr. Chen's books are a must read for you.

Suits and sport jackets are among the most important items in a man's wardrobe not only because of their prices, but also because of their visibility. Today, important business transactions and international affairs are conducted by men and women who wear suits or some kinds of jackets. Most men are not wearing a correct suit or are not wearing a suit correctly. Alan Flusser, a prominent fashion designer, believes 90% of all men wear their coat sleeves too long. The sleeve length is one of the most obvious areas. If a man can make such a mistake, he probably will make more mistakes in other areas. Contemporary writings on men's suits and sport jackets are ineffective in teaching consumers what to buy. Most publications describe every style and detail of suits and sport jackets but fail to suggest or explain which style or detail is preferred. This book focuses on how to shop and wear suits and sport coats. Dr. Ivan Chen has sold men's clothing for more than a decade. His advice has changed tens of thousands of people's mind about men's clothing. Many of his recommendations are original and have never appeared in previous literature. If you cup your fingers to determine the length of your jacket, do not know why pants should be finished with a slanted bottom, or you send your suits to dry cleaners and have them damaged regularly, this book is a must read for you. This book will surprise you and save you a lot of money by buying and wearing the right suit correctly.
