The monocle is seldom worn in this city. When worn it is placed in the right eye.
CLOSING REMARKS
A gentleman in ordering his apparel, whether for morning wear, afternoon dress, or evening dress, will follow his own taste and desire as regards the style of seams, the material and style of linings, the size, number, and kind of buttons to be used, the number of pockets, the length of body-coats, overcoats, length and width of trousers, the style of his hat, gloves, and shoes, the length of sleeves and width of collars, use of braids and bindings, use of collar facings,—in fact, every point connected with the making of garments, both outer and under clothing, hats, shoes, gloves, and ties, all these he must decide and order the maker to follow out.
It is only through this care and attention to details that he can show his taste and ability to dress. Most important of all—especially in clothing—is the selection of material.
This completes the dress necessary for a gentleman of fashion, in society or out. He is not asked to follow implicitly the rules as laid down here, but rather follow his own taste and ideas in the making and wearing of garments.
This is only meant as a guide. It is believed to be correct in all its details, and can be followed safely as such.
Finis coronat opus.
