un catrín de muy buenos modales

My comment:

todo un catrín
***
catrín, na.
1. adj. Am. Cen. y Méx. Bien vestido, engalanado. U. t. c. s.

dandi. (Del ingl. dandy).
1. m. Hombre que se distingue por su extremada elegancia y buen tono.

Hoy en día se les llama "metrosexual"

My references:

Dandy: A gentleman who is fastidious about his appearance, especially his clothing. He is not, as is often believed, a flashy or even flamboyant dresser, as was his 18th century predecessor, the Macaroni. George "Beau" Brummell eptomized the Dandy. He was concerned with perfect tailoring and fabrics, cleanliness, and simplicity of dress. He believed that good fashion should be understated and elegant, not eye-catching.

Pink of the Ton: Also Pink of Fashion. The term is generally applied only to males and refers to a man at the height of fashion. A dandy. Per the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: "the top of the mode."

&

Ton: Fashionable Society, or the fashion. From the French bon ton, meaning good form, ie good manners, good breeding, etc. A person could be a member of the ton, attend ton events, or be said to have good ton (or bad ton).
