New School Dandy Profile: JD Elquist
Where did you grow up? Wherever the Hells Angels took me.
Where do you live now? West Village in Manhattan.
Where did you go to school? The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco.
What’s your occupation? I run a men’s style blog and design men’s wear. Both can be seen at http://www.jelquist.com/. I am also Editor-in-Chief of SIR Magazine, which is set to debut soon.
When did you establish your personal style? Was there a pivotal moment? How has it changed? Costume consumed my childhood. One day I was Batman, the next day I was Robin. I wore the mask of whatever role I was playing that day. It's the same today. My look has one thematic thread running through it, but may vary depending on what I have to accomplish that day. My pivotal moment was when I started shopping for timeless pieces rather than adhering to trends. My look is ephemeral, but solid; while trends are fleeting.
How would you describe your style? I wouldn’t, it would describe me.
What are your sources of inspiration? The places I have been and the people I have met.
Who is your style icon? Gianni Agnelli, he wore a wristwatch over his cuff and work boots with a business suit. Mr. Agnelli founded personal style.
What are your preferred dandy reading materials? My favorite is WWD/Men’s.
What is your favorite clothing article or accessory? White pocket square - man’s best friend.
Where is your favorite or dream vacation spot? You know it’s funny, I live in it.
Tell us the best kept secret in your city. The highline park in Meatpacking. Awe inspiring.
At which establishments would you consider yourself a regular? Esperanto Café, it’s my second home.
What would you be doing ten years from now? Coming up with new dreams to actualize.
What is your current obsession? Blogging and ice cold sunsets.
Currently inspired by? My team: Jeremy, Bradley, Nick, and John. I would be nothing without them.
Currently annoyed with? Parades, New Yorkers love their parades.
What else do you want to tell us? It's just the beginning.

Dandies Online: Who Wore It Best
Via Valet Mag we found Who Wore It Best, a daily tie competition between two guys from a Philadelphia ad agency. Each day for a month photos were posted of each guy's look for visitors to vote on. As stated on the site, at the end of the month "The Winner will be able to choose a full outfit of attire to be worn by The Loser on the day of The Winner's choosing." Now that's a friendly office competition we could get into!

Dandy Blogger Heaven: Hart Schaffner Marx Archive Part 1
Last week we were contacted by Lisa Wells, the Director Of Public Relations for HMX, LLC, the corporate parent of Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey Freeman, and several other clothing brands. Lisa and her team have been charged with the task of organizing and digitizing the Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey Freeman archives. After seeing some of the images on our blog she suggested we stop in and see their collection. Wow! It was incredible to see the thousands of ads, brochures, original prints, etc. from these iconic brands. My thanks to Lisa for the invitation and permitting us to take some photos to share. We took so many photos that we've decided to make this a mini-series of images. Up first is a fall 1922 Hart Schaffner Marx catalog.

Vintage Dandy
We love this photo. 20 dapper guys in a field with a sign saying "Dinner Is Ready"? So random. What's the story?
