The Perfect Gentleman Issue 2 - April 2016 | Page 3

From the Desk of #1PG

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,
Welcome to the 2nd Issue of ‘The Perfect Gentleman’ magazine, it was a great relief to get the launch
issue out and also to get some fabulous compliments. We thank you all for them. We hope that you
come to enjoy our monthly missives & some of our in-depth discussion.
April is here and Spring is upon us in the northern hemisphere. The Sun is pushing through, people
are starting to climb out of their winter hibernation and move towards summer with a spring in their
step.
This sense of vigour for me is always seems to be the perfect time to start changes not the New Year. I
never understood why you would want to start major life changes in the dark, cold and dreary part of
the year. Especially after you have just over-indulged. I personally, think that with the sense of
re-birth, the light breaking through & that burst of energy that people feel, this should be the point
which you should embark on those major life changes.
So, with that in mind, why not take advantage of the spring feeling & make some changes. Start that
exercise regime; Learn that Language; embark on that new diet; rebuild your wardrobe, indeed do
something. We would naturally suggest that you embark on being a Gentleman or perhaps inspire
someone else too!
In this month we hope to inspire you with tips on confidence, first dates, finances, watches, table
manners & more. I had the pleasure of doing two interviews this month, one short one with the
Thomas Clipper chaps & then with the delightful founders of Cravat Club. I do hope you enjoy it, they
were both fun.
One mistake that we made is that we did not put our media content & event schedule in the magazine!
Silly us, we have rectified it this time. It is towards the back of the magazine, if there is anything you
would like us to add in the monthly lists please let us know & we will add it in.
Next month we are doing a special issue, it has a literary bent, it is all about the Books! See you in May.
Most Gentlemanly Yours,

Zach Falconer-Barfield
