So curious that Mr. Chensvold who is actively engaged in the marketing of Ivy as he sells his adverts on his blog cannot talk about this basic fact of retail.
All we get is yet more mumbo jumbo about what he thinks is going on in Europe. Maybe he should actually talk to a European Ivy fan? Mr. Woofboxer (whom he has met in NYC) would be great for the gig.
This has all become beyond a running joke now. His silly ideas about Europe and now his silly ideas about the retail trade are really showing him up.
- And why drag Charlie Davidson into it? Mr. Davidson sells clothes - Which is exactly what we are talking about over here. Not the selling of daffy dreams about them.
... And the biggest joke in all this is that those to try to downplay the role of marketing in the promotion of the Ivy style keep citing marketing material to back up their opinions. I think that's my favourite part of the whole thing... Although seeking the opinions of shopkeepers is prety funny too - Sure, shopkeepers never sold clothes did they ?
Oh I thought it was a John Gall thing...
I only posted the above here because the discussion got squashed on Ivy Style & my mate who was chatting to Chris can't post there anymore now. This is the uber market forces conservative guy whom Chens called a Marxist... Still never mind, he's calling me a racist now instead... He always goes funny on a Sunday...
There's no room for anything but sychophancy on his Stalinist blog !
I was not only being ironic, the double irony is that this "trad across the ocean" actually figures we're all fan boys here blindly following the pied piper. Much honor to you there Jim, he really thinks you are a force to be reckoned with!
If only the world was this simple, with everything trickling down from the colleges (including all of the Japanese Ivy fans).
Why am I even writing this.

"...these English guys..., I suspect that most didn’t go to college...."
Yeah - you thick English bastards!
Luckily, this doesn't apply to me of course, being a goat-worrying Taff, or Liam for that matter - who, I understand is a haggis-muncher. Or Carpu and Hekki, or Axe, or 66, or Hepcat.... being fey Europeans. Or Moose for that matter - who is not only Scottish, but lives in Germany, would you believe.
But the rest of you - ha, in your face you non-college educated English, erm, people!
Not to forget 12Bar, who is a hardy son of Erin, as I understand.
And all the Aussies of course. Fair Dinkum!

He deleted my comment of complaint about his conflation of all Englishmen as slanderers just because a couple disagree with him. Idiot.
Yeah, but "College Educated" though.
Does Princeton have a Polytechnic?
There are 'correspondence course' degrees you can get in America for just a few bucks. Maybe he has one of those?
I think he earned his degree while working two jobs actually. One as an Assistant Choreographer on minor Hollywood films and the other running a blast furnace in a steel mill.
So he probably is in a good position to put you all in your place. And I feel personally that he has done you all a favour. You should be thanking him.Not me though, I'm a haggis muncher so I don't count.
