courage Too often, people fear change and newness. it is our pledge to constantly push the boundaries and explore avenues untouched, unknown and unprompted

introduction
The FQ1924 Man
- Time honoured Tradition It is no wonder a classic style never dies. It’s rooted in character and history. Passed down from generation to generation. And tells a story of the man behind the clothing – their leisure interests, their family and academic life, their casual and relaxed attitudes. FQ1924 is a collection of Ivy League classics in Sportswear today. Designed for men with a curious mind and confident nature who enjoy a leisurely lifestyle full of sport, recreation, friends, and of course… academia. Ambition runs high in the FQ man. Not only does he know what he wants, but he also knows how to get it. His style is distinctive and right to the point. He chooses his comfort over his prestige, but always does so with an elegance and sophistication. When you see the FQ1924 man, you will know precisely who he is and what he enjoys in life. And he lives quite a full life.

M a i n AU T U M N 2 0 1 2 Classic Sensibility with C o n t e m p o r a r y Att i t u d e FQ1924’s AW2012 collection puts Preppy back on the college campus (and beyond) in a line of casual sportswear that walks the line between Harvard yard and café ‘Les Deux Magots.’ A leisurely lifestyle of sport and academia with a contemporary mindset gives this collection a refined, yet updated casual look and a Parisian accent without the attitude. Blazers with patchwork elbow pads in rugged tweed that are right at home in a library step out of the dusty shelves with a sleek fit and contemporary silhouettes. Graduates will appreciate the nod to the rugby lover within, with stripes and bold prints that bring out the inner sports fan, while bookworms will find inspiration in the uniform structure of button-down shirts, gold emblems, oversized badges and schoolboy charm on a bright October day. Chino-inspired trousers are the new Oxford Bags on this campus – using broken-in twills and paired with a variety of plaid and checked shirts. No Autumn/Winter collection would be complete without corduroy, structured knits and classic campus outerwear with authentic detailing in wood and leather. All given an updated and contemporary purpose with hidden pockets and labels for today’s technology. This is where brain meets brawn. Where college boy meets sophistication. Where modern meets man.
General Collection Highlights - Classic, yet updated campus-style sportswear with French influence - Bold, Ivy-League colours and prints - Sports-inspired rugbys and polos with distinctive badges and emblems - Authentic wood and leather details - Rugged tweed and soft woolen blazers - Plaid and patchwork Oxford shirts - Casual campus knits and outwear - Well-worn chinos and deconstructed materials pg. 5

Frontiers of Quebec 1924, also known as FQ1924, is a new line of men’s sportswear with an Ivy League sensibility that reads like a thick, hard-cover history book. Inspired by a group of Danish settlers into Quebec in the early 1900’s – FQ1924 pays homage to the courage, curiosity and venturous mindset demonstrated by this frontier spirit. FQ1924 caters to men with a distinctive style and a confident identity. www.fq1924.com
