New Handkerchiefs

After Bruce Pask's mention of our handkerchiefs on the T Magazine New York Times blog, our Spring/Summer handkerchief collection has been nearly completely depleted.  This afternoon we visited our manufacturer to work on adding some more.  After looking at our order sheet we thought it might be fun to give our readers a sneak peek at our soon to be released handkerchiefs. 

new collection - coming soon

Dandies In Print: The New York Times

There is a great article in The Times today about the garment district of New York City.  It's hard to believe that at one time it was responsible for nearly 90% of all clothing manufactured in the United States.  Although much of the industry is now overseas, the garment district still thrives today, though perhaps on a smaller scale. We've been thrilled that several of our items are made locally in the garment district: handkerchiefs, ties, many of our bow ties.

Dandies Online: Esquire UK

Several weeks ago we posted some photos of the contenders for Esquire's Best Dressed Real Man Contest.  Esquire U.K. is holding a similar contest and, although we hate to say it, the Americans can't hold a candle to the Brits.  Here are a few favorites.

Haberdashery Finds: The Collar Protector Ad

From The Clothier And Furnisher, September 1901, a men's clothing trade magazine.  We tend to think that the collar protector was the dandy's equivalent of plastic slip covers on furniture.

Dandies On Ebay: Vintage Photos

We've mentioned before that we have a bit of an ebay addiction. As we try to curb our habit we thought we would share some items we would bid on if we weren't "going clean". Here are a few vintage photos.  (We have to admit that we bid on a few photos while preparing for this post.)
