“A deftly crafted memoir. . . .” —Montreal Gazette

A son's decision to alter his father's last surviving suit for himself is the launching point for this powerful book - part personal memoir, part social history of the man's suit - about fathers and sons, love and forgiveness, and learning what it means to be a man.

Published by Emblem Editions, an imprint of McClelland and Stewart, distributed by Random House.

“An exquisite book.” —Maclean’s

“A graceful, compelling memoir. . . . A thoughtful, loving and honest narrative, elegant in its clarity and observation.” —Minneapolis-Saint Paul Star Tribune

“Beautifully crafted, Lee’s memoir is a heartbreaking page-turner about a family, an abusive father, and men’s fashion. Who could have thought these themes could work together? In his first book, Lee has shown us how.” —Jury citation, Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction
