James Dant

I love seeing how Indianapolis is growing with young small businesses popping up all over the city. One of my favorite growth spurts has been in Irvington. Little by little, businesses are starting and in this area there are several artists, designers, and photographers. This men’s store is one of those places.
It appeals to the urban hipster look. Men with beards and buns. It has some great products and the gentleman’s jewelry section is very elaborate.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the owner was on his phone the while time and didn’t look up to say hello or ask if I needed help or anything, When its a big business I expect this, but a small, locally owned one, I want it to feel more personable.

I’m only a man on Sundays, Thursdays, and every 3^rd Friday, but I am still a big fan of this Irvington shop. The owner is a super nice guy with a beard that belongs on the cover of Beards Extraordinaire if that publication existed. High quality merchandise and great fashion sense. My co-​worker gets his beard balm and other beauty products here, and I must say, he’s been looking quite marvelous lately. I buy gifts here, and I’ve been unable to resist a couple of the t-​shirts for myself.

One of the coolest Men’s stores in town. It’s a couple doors down from Black Acre Brewing. This place has some pretty rad clothing and bearding products. Support this place, men need this place

James Dant always has new and fresh styles. It’s a great place to take your style to the next level. Tommy is a very personable dude who will help you find out exactly what clothing or accessories fit your style. Plus I’ve been using his cologne and beard balm for a while now, and I’m not going to say it’s the reason I’ve been nailin’ it with the ladies, but it sure helps to smell fresh from head to toe.
The clothes at James Dant are a little on the higher end of the price range, but with that comes quality. I expect everything I buy from there to last me multiple years.
A little JD secret… if you give Tommy $ 5 he’ll let you scratch his beard. Try it!

James Dant has everything a man could wish to have. From the bearded fella to anyone who is looking to add some style to their wardrobe, this store has what you need. I visit every time I’m back in Indy to restock on deodorant, beard oil, and other toiletries. This is the perfect place to add accessories or a pair of shoes that will last you for the rest of your life. If you haven’t made it to this store yet, you will regret the fact once you finally make it here. Easy five stars. Go visit!

Our first visit to the store was last night. Great selection of very cool stuff. We will be back.

This store is great for men of any age. Case in point: while he certainly is no man of fashion, my dad is now hooked on the shave care and essentials that James Dant curates, creates and sells. He doesn’t live in Indy, but he almost always stocks up each time he comes to visit me! I will admit that while the prices are a little high, the quality more than makes up for it. Great place for your boyfriend, brother, or yes, even father!

This is a great addition to the Irvington community. I buy things for my husband, then steal them to use myself. Looking forward to knocking out some holiday shopping here.

Just visited this shop for the first time today. He has lots of great items, including a good selection of beard care products. I really like the exclusive «Deviant» beard oil. I will definitely be back soon. If you’re looking for gifts for a man, this is a great place to start.

I am a huge fan of this store. Everything was reasonably priced and the build quality of the watch I bought is excellent. They had a great selection of items ranging from tshirts to candles. I highly recommend anyone that is in the area to stop in and check out this store.

Indianapolis is long overdue for a menswear shop like James Dant. Tommy Dant, the store’s owner and buyer, has impeccable taste and stocks the shop with labels that you simply can’t find anywhere else in this area. And they offer more than just apparel and footwear. There’s a great selection of men’s grooming and shaving products, bags, and even a few bikes that would interest any urban commuter.
If you’re a fashionable guy who finds himself in Indianapolis I highly recommend you make your way over to James Dant.

I have to say I’m a fan of this store, I shop here when I can and enjoy talking with James, he has always answered my questions when I have them and has been available to shoot the breeze too.
The place is well thought out, there is definitely a plan he is following. The layout, design and offering of clothing, shoes, bags, watches, shaving items and other manly essentials reflects his style. A style that is gaining traction.
This isn’t an every-man’s store and thankfully the masses have wally world to shop at. I’m in management but at a construction contractor so dressing up is not necessary. Ah! the weekends come and I want to look like I DON“T shop at wally world! And when I play with my band, the peter rabbit shirt I got from here is perfect.
So, it may seem niche for now but as more guys get into finding a style they like or get fed up wearing crap that shrinks, doesn’t fit, is uncomfortable or the need to grow that ‘stache, there’s stuff here for every man.
Most stores for men lack imagination in every way, no such thing here. I’ve found myself looking into the local brands that are offered here and finding an interesting story behind each one. It allows me to ‘buy local’ and while usually more expensive it makes me feel better about my purchase.
Occasionally there are cool promotions, I haven’t got to stop by during one but I hope he has them on a regular basis. Looking forward to my next visit!

Super rad Star Wars rings… only $ 15! Sadly, even the smallest ones won’t fit my girl fingers. Multiple friends have requested them as gifts. I saw Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, and a Storm Trooper, available in silver or gold tone.
Eh…I kinda thought the higher prices would be because the products were made in the USA. Many of the items I saw were made in China, but some are USA made… just not all. Definitely unique clothing, many Indiana-​centric Ts, but not much that a corporate man could wear to work. Maybe perfect for a graphic designer or small-​shop web developer, a photographer… someone in an artistic profession… but if you’re an exec you may not find suitable pieces here.
Grooming and «gift» stuff is also in stock.
You can definitely tell the owner has stocked this store with things that fit his own sense of style. I hope the business makes it but I think it needs to appeal to a wider audience. I’m not saying «be generic,» I’m just saying stock clothing that isn’t just for hipsters. When a shirt has a $ 100 price tag, it probably needs to be suitable for someone who can afford it. Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way, but paying $ 100 for a shirt «made in China» (like everything at Old Navy) doesn’t sit well with me.
I have purchased 2 gifts here for 2 different men. Both were pretty thrilled with their presents.

James Dant has just about anything the modern man could ask for. Can’t say much more other than this store’s GOT IT!

It’s about time!
Finally a store just for Men! This place is great, I’ve been following them on Instagram since the first of the year building the store and the brand. And now they’re finally open!
They have a little bit of everything here, shoes, clothing, accessories, sunglasses, watches, and the all important hard-​to-​find beard products! Yes there’re plenty of stores for people that shave but no one sells anything for beard care, except for James Dant.
It’s located in the charming Irvington shopping center off of E. Washington St.
The staff here is knowledgeable about everything they sell their very friendly and just fun to chat with. This is also the only store that I know of in Indianapolis that sells one off State bicycles. They only get one at a time so if you like it you better get it.
This is a small shop privately owned and you can tell is the dream of it’s owner!
