For a List of Current Articles See CLOTHES CLOSET Below Do Clothes Really Matter? How important is what we wear? Can't people look through all the superficial fluff of fashion and see the real us?  "I don't get no respect!"  -- Rodney Dangerfield The answer? Usually not. Researchers have come up with some scientific evidence to support the notion that what you wear really does make a difference in how you influence the world around you. So now you know what you always suspected: The guy down the hall who didn't know poop and got the vice-president's slot got it not because he was smart, but because he knew how to look smart.  In situations such as job interviews, court appearances, sales presentations and first dates it is important to make not just a good, but a great first impression for maximum credibility and authority. "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." -- Will Rogers Behavioral scientists tell us that the effect of a first impression is a strong one. The process of sizing you up is something that goes on almost subconsciously. Your evaluation by a stranger takes 30 seconds or less, and can be so strong that it could take as long as five years to erase. Why not take advantage of the research on human nature and utilize the knowledge to enhance and control how you are accepted? Since about 90 percent of you is covered by apparel, the clothing you choose makes a significant impact. This is such an important area, and one in which you can effect the greatest impression.

Thank you for explaining how to access the various disk components--your instructions helped me to quickly navigate the book. I particularly like your logical, straightforward approach to each section. I mean to say, it really makes sense to explain why something matters, then how to care for it once you've chosen to incorporate the thing into your life, and then to include a history of the item, which focuses the reader's attention on its intrinsic value to a gentleman's kit. Your book is more useful than Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th-Century Men's Fashions, because the latter serves as a chronicle not a guide. The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes provides a road map for fellows who wish to understand the choices they make, and who wish to make choices they understand. I am simply delighted with your book!" -- J. de M. NM For more Testimonials CLICK HERE _______________________________________________
