Yesterday’s dandy has nothing on today’s digital man. He’s bought everything but his bespoke suit and shirt—that took three fittings—from the comfort of his new Samsung Q1 mobile PC with built-in WiFi. It’s the only way the digital dandy travels today
BESPOKE TREND
by Seize sur Vingt
When the men’s haberdashery Seize sur Vingt first opened in Manhattan’s NoLita, the dot com crowd’s hostility to office formality was in full swing, and the idea of a company devoted to making hip, luxe bespoke suits seemed a bit nuts. Since then, Seize sur Vingt’s slim silhouette has become an urban obsession—just the thing for actors, models, and dandies who can’t be bothered by the apparent contradiction of trendy, gorgeous, one-of-a-kind suits.

IRON(IC) LINK
by Links of London
According to Links of London, these handcarved hematite (iron) tusks symbolize courage and power, and the curved sterling silver T-Bar they’re mounted on oozes masculinity. Oh well. The modern dandy still likes them as a cool reminder that the Iron Age is probably closer than you think.

RAIN INSURANCE
by Longchamp
The latest French luxury goods company to get a do-over is Longchamp, the venerable Parisian leather goods company. Reinvented with assists from top contemporary artists such as Tracy Emin and Thomas Heatherwick, the formerly stuffy the formerly stuffy brand now even allows its customers to create their own one-of-a-kind Le Pliage bag online, customizing each bag’s colors, fasteners, and leather. Dandies adore it when the upper crust finally gets personal.
