The Affected Provincial’s Companion, Volume One by Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy
Green-swaddled and glorious, The Affected Provincial’s Companion is the very breviary of modern dandyism. In this brief, yet poetically expansive tome, Lord Whimsy graciously holds aloft a flaming beacon of hope for sartorial excellence to beat back the hoary darkness of casual sportswear that currently plagues the modern palette of man. Included within are helpful primers on how a man might shape his appearance as an object of art, how a man might shape his mind as an object of art, and essays on how the natural world around us is always already an object of art. This is a revolution. A quiet, curious, and thoroughly well-dressed revolution. Too long have we been alienated from the beauty of our non-labor; Lord Whimsy addresses this lapse with aplomb.
