What to know about James Dant

A shop, not a label

James Dant is a men's specialty store in Indianapolis' Irvington neighborhood, stocking casual clothing, layering pieces, jewelry, grooming and home goods rather than its own line.

Denim and shirting anchor the mix

Jeans and shirts are what it's known for, drawing on workwear-heritage, prep-ivy and cleaner contemporary lines at mid-to-upper price points.

Every product description written in-house

Staff write original copy for each item instead of reusing brand text, and orders ship nationwide from the reclaimed-wood and exposed-brick showroom.
