Gifts for a Gentleman
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011I often get requests to write about what would make a good gift for a gentleman. Without further ado and in light of the coming Christmas holidays, I present a few suggestions that may do for a gentleman young or old, ranging in taste from the classic to the modern.

Valentine’s Dilemma
Sunday, February 6th, 2011Dear English Gentleman,
It is shortly Valentine’s Day and since our one-year anniversary will coincide with this very romantic date, I want to buy my girlfriend a set of super sexy lingerie. I have already done my homework and scoped out some potentially nice shops where I could buy her very classy, tasteful, and beautiful silk [...]

Ironing: He Knows Where to Take It
Friday, June 4th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I’m a marketing manager at a high-powered tech company. As you can imagine, this requires working long hours and by the time I get home I’m exhausted.
