One could argue there is a canon of literature on men’s dress. G. Bruce Boyer is a gentleman who would certainly have at least one of his books in said canon, in short he is a legend in the world of menswear literature. Over the years he has worked on Town & Country, GQ and Esquire as well as his own books. His book Rebel Style is one of my favorites, I stumbled upon it in a random Covent Garden bookstore this summer and immediately bought it. Well, Mr. Boyer has struck again. This time he penned a booked titled Gary Cooper: Enduring Style. The book is 95% pictures of Mr. Cooper over the years, and great pictures they are. I should note there is also a forward by Ralph Lauren and a note from Maria Cooper Janis (Gary’s daughter).
Last night I was able to attend a book signing by Mr. Boyer and Mrs. Cooper-Janis at Leffot. The book is not to be released until November 29th but advance copies were on sale last night. Naturally, I picked one up. It was an honor to meet and talk briefly with Mr. Boyer, who is one of my inspirations for starting this blog. I was also able to meet Alan Flusser who is another household name in the menswear world and Christian Chensvold of Dandyism.net and Ivy-Style.com (Ivy-Style being one of my favorite blogs) who is another gentleman whose content I greatly respect. All in all the event was a nice one, my personal highlight being the below picture. But I do recommend that anyone with a keen interest in classic menswear pick up a copy November 29th.
As Mr. Chensvold, Mr. Flusser and Mr. Boyer do; keep up the good fight,

Hi there to every one, the contents present at this website are really awesome for people experience, well, keep up the good work fellows.
Everything said made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? what if you added a little content? I am not saying your information is not solid, but what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean G. Bruce Boyer Book Signing is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to get people to click. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.
Looking forward to another post on Bruce Boyer.
