Dandies On Ebay: Vintage Photos

We have to admit we have a bit of an ebay addiction.  As we try curb our habit we thought we would share some items we would bid on if weren't "going clean".  Here are a few vintage photos.

Via our friend Ray from across the pond we've learned that the new season of Dr. Who, premiering in the UK April 3rd, has a little dandy influence in it's leading actor, Matt Smith.

Dandy Video: John Lobb Bootmaker

Earlier in the month we posted some photos of John Lobb from our London visit.  Via Valet we found this terrific video from The Guardian about the 160 year old shoemaker.

Haberdashery Finds: Paris Sock Garters

We're still pleasantly surprised with the popularity of our sock garters.  Clearly wearing sock garters today is more of an aesthetic decision than functional.  We love this Paris Garters box.

Dandies Online: The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist is running a contest for old photos providing style inspiration. We love the few photos he's shared so far!

Dandies On TV: White Collar

Today a friend recommended we check out White Collar on USA.  It looks like we missed the first season but judging from the photos we saw online, Neal Caffrey, the main character played by Matt Bomer, looks rather dapper with his skinny ties, tie bars, pocket squares, collar bars, and fedoras.

The Family (Dandy) Jewels Part 2

Last month I wrote about a box of jewelry I had inherited from various male family members.  My mother visited again this weekend and brought a few more treasures.

A money clip with a dolphin inlay.

Unengraved engravable cufflinks.

A "G" tie pin.

A pocket knife with mother-of-pearl (one piece missing on each side). Marked D. Peres, Solingen, Germany.

I acquired another one of these as mentioned in my previous post.  I still can't figure out what it is.  It's marked Wizard.  The part on the left swivels and is decorative.  The right side is a clip.  Any ideas?
