Description
Sometimes it's not the clothes that make the man. It's not which model of Barbour jacket you have chosen, or where you get your tweed suit.

In this crucial episode of the Akward Etiquette podcast, Kiki Astor gives you a Grand Tour of sorts, discussing the tomes you must acquire. Show me your library, and I'll tell you who you are.
