The English Gentleman (1978) is a humorous book written by Douglas Sutherland and illustrated by Timothy Jacques, with an introduction by Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk. The book acts as a satirical guide to the life of an English gentleman in various contexts, featuring such chapters as "The Gentleman at Play", "The Gentleman at War", and "The Gentleman and the Opposite Sex".

The foreword for The English Gentleman states,

Ever since the nineteenth century and long before that for all I know, there has been a regular stream of little books designed to help those who desire to be part of the upper classes. In the past these books have been written by men and women, largely for women, and concerned with such profundities as how to address a Duke or an Archbishop, or what to do with your fingerbowl. It has always been assumed that the most desirable position in the world is to be accepted as a lady or gentleman. It was assumed by many from Jane Austen to Daphne du Maurier that it is the surest way to happiness and possibly even to eternal salvation. This book, I hope, is different in that it is the first one to be written by a man, almost exclusively for men. It examines what makes or breaks the gentleman and leaves it to the reader to decide whether he wishes to be part of the upper classes or not. It is also hoped that this volume will be helpful to ladies who wish to be able to recognize the gentleman when they meet one, and to let them know what they are in for should they be reckless enough to marry one. — D.S.

Each of the fourteen chapters gives tongue-in-cheek descriptions of the life of an English gentleman.

Quality control
Size: Large, Color: Black-4 Pack, Size: Large, Color: Black-4 Pack
They did fit well but now the waist band is coming off on all of them. Quality control needs to look into this problem. I would have bought them again if they solve this problem.

Great!
Size: Medium, Color: Multicolored19-4 Pack
I have ordered three packages of these over the years. They are solidly made and withstand washing and drying without the color fading and elastic band stretching. They are sized correctly and are super comfortable.

Cute, colorful underpants
Size: Medium, Color: A-multicolored-4 Pack
Bought these for my fiance because his old (other brand) ones were getting very tired. The price was great and they are brightly colored, which I get a kick out of. These do not bunch up while he's sitting, moving around, or pulling up his pants, and are comfortable with pants with a snugger fit around the legs and pelvis. They are soft, breathable, and durable, and have withstood numerous washes without an inkling of fading, tearing, and wear. I had some difficulties with the shipping and the original order never arrived, but this was immediately resolved after one contact with customer service. They were very responsive and sent out a fresh batch minutes later, which arrived very quickly and without any issue. Overall, impressed with the quality of both the underpants and the customer service.

KIND OF BAGGY
Size: Large, Color: A-multicolored-4 Pack
I guess I'm not built quite like the guy in the photo. I found these to be a little baggy. I buy briefs because I don't want baggy. They were, however, comfortable enough. I liked the wider waist band and the elastic was fine. I wouldn't buy them again though.
