Jimmy seems to think very highly of himself before he encounters Annabel Adams in Elmore and falls in love at first sight. He is young, good-looking, smart, worldly wise, and well connected with important people in the underworld and in the respectable world at large. O. Henry refers to Jimmy's dapper clothing several times. For example, when Annabel first sees him:

She lowered her eyes and colored slightly. Young men of Jimmy's style and looks were scarce in Elmore.

And when Jimmy registers as Ralph Spencer at the Planter's Hotel:

The clerk was impressed by the clothes and manner of Jimmy. He, himself, was something of a pattern of fashion to the thinly gilded youth of Elmore, but he now perceived his shortcomings. While trying to figure out Jimmy's manner of tying his four-in-hand he cordially gave information.

When Ben Price started to investigate the series of burglaries Jimmy has pulled off since being released from prison, he says to himself:

“That's Dandy Jim Valentine's autograph."
