These Are Our Failures by Christian Chensvold

What is the future of masculine elegance? Does the death of the necktie signal the end of civilization? These Are Our Failures is a short, 50-page read that blends James Bond adventure with James Bond tailoring. It's an outrageous black comedy written by menswear author Christian Chensvold, former contributing editor at The Rake and founder of Ivy-Style.com and Dandyism.net. At the center of the story is the fundamental question: "Does the abandonment of wearing a necktie signify the collapse of Western Civilization?"
