We are a grooming club for fine gentlemen and throughout 2008 we will present little (sometimes unknown) facts about how to be a gentleman. While we are working towards it, we don’t claim to be the authority on the topic. However, Mr. John Bridges literally wrote the book How To Be A Gentleman. For lesson #6 we quote Mr. Bridges’s from his book in regards to some real life scenarios:
- “When a gentleman wears a vest, he leaves the bottom button undone.”
- “When a gentleman outgrows his clothes, he gives them away to charity. He does not pretend that someday he will lose weight. When, and if, he does lose weight, he certainly will not want to celebrate by wearing out-of-date clothes.”
- “When necessary, a gentleman has his shoes resoled.”
-”A gentleman never wears the same pair of blue jeans two days in a row.”
- “A gentleman’s pants are always cuffed except for his blue jeans and his formal trousers.”
-”A gentleman never has creases ironed into the legs of his jeans.”
