If one is interested in the arena of men's formal wear particularly, there is this:

Formal men´s wear with no mention of the kilt?
You must be joking!

I will not succumb to the tyranny of bifurcation!

Matt I hope you realize that this link just cost me 2 hours with only 1 fleeting kilt reference.

Both Rex and Mac-of-Rath have offered the two very best books that I know of. I personally like the Bridges book because it is aimed specifically at gentlemen.

The Bridges book, How To Be . . . is available from any Brooks Brothers store or online from http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...duct_Id=844339. The Brooks Brothers version is from Rutledge Hill Press of Nashville, and for such a small book (150 pp), it is an excellent primer with lots of information.

Miss Manners is available anywhere. Hers is not specific to men, but it certainly does cover any and every situation you can think of . . . and a whole bunch you would never have thought of.

I think every young man should keep these two in his library.

Bridges has several books on etiquette "How to be a Gentleman" and " AGentleman at the Table" both are good, and there are more from him, also you can't go wrong with "Amy Vanderbilts complete book of etiquette"

One of the Bridges books is A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up. Nothing about kilts, but it's good advice on other stuff, including (if I remember right) how to tie a bow-tie.
