Men and Manners

From New York Times bestselling author David Coggins (Men and Style) comes an honest, witty, and refreshingly practical guide to modern etiquette. The old rules of civility have shifted, but true manners never go out of style.

Men and Manners isn’t a stuffy manual on which fork to use or how to address formal stationery. Instead, it’s a sharp, entertaining reminder of the core principles of respect, generosity, and poise that every modern gentleman needs.

Blending humorous essays, candid interviews with leading tastemakers, and straightforward advice, Coggins tackles the daily dilemmas that trip up even the best-dressed men:

• Navigating Modern Social Rules: Clear-headed guidance on tipping, toasting, smartphone etiquette, dating, and home entertaining.
• Workplace & Everyday Decorum: Practical advice for handling office dynamics, travel etiquette, and conversation without taking yourself too seriously.
• Expert Tastemaker Insights: Roundtable discussions and candid wisdom from style icons, cultural commentators, and creative leaders.
• Charming Visuals: Featuring distinctive, witty illustrations throughout.

Told with Coggins’ signature dry wit and self-deprecating charm, Men and Manners makes a compelling case for being the man who offers his seat, picks up the tab, and does what’s right—even when no one is watching.

The Ideal Gift: An essential addition to any man’s bookshelf and a perfect gift for Father’s Day, graduations, groomsmen, or anyone looking to elevate their everyday social game.
