The Chap takes a wry look at
the modern world through the
steamed-up monocle of a more
refined age, occasionally
getting its sock suspenders
into a twist at the
unspeakable vulgarity of the
twenty-first century.
Since 1999, the Chap has been
championing the rights of that
increasingly marginalised and
discredited species of
Englishman - the gentleman.
The Chap believes that a
society without courteous
behaviour and proper headwear
is a society on the brink of
moral and sartorial collapse,
and it seeks to reinstate such
outmoded but indispensable
gestures as hat doffing,
giving up one's seat to a lady
and regularly using a trouser
press.
