Ten Garments Every Man Should Own 
A Practical Guide to Building a Permanent Wardrobe

An accessible field guide to classic menswear and creating your own conscious closet.



Dressing well matters and it is easily within the grasp of any man, no matter his age or budget. The problem today is that many men don’t know where to turn for help in building a wardrobe.




Ten Garments Every Man Should Own is a practical and entertaining guide to dressing better by building a classic, sustainable, and ethically minded wardrobe, focused on quality garments. Each chapter covers an essential piece: shirt, jacket, hat, leather shoes, and more. Cutting through the clutter of online “experts” and fashion magazines, this book reveals the truth about what really makes a garment worth investing in and owning — how it is made, how it fits, and how it makes a man look.
