Monk Facts

English journalish Simon Crompton is best known in the world of menswear as the creator of the wildly successful Permanent Style blog. Much of the reason for the blog’s success is due to the fact that Crompton started from the very position that his countless readers are in. As a man who enjoyed the finer things, but was constantly finding himself assailed by marketing and PR, Crompton decided to sort the wheat from the chaff, and tell everyone about it along the way. The Finest Menswear in the World compiles a handful of the many small companies that are the real deal. The book is split into specific garments or accessories (shoes, ties, shirts leathergoods etc.), with each one being represented by a maker of particular distinction. There is a surfeit of wonderful photographs as well as technical and historical detail, making this a priceless resource for the well-dressed modern man.
