Re: Ivy 1947-1954
So, here's a question that marginally fits into the thread: is the practice of lining collars new-ish to shirt making or was it always done? I realize *fusing* in collar linings is a more recent development - but what about lining them altogether? Like the guys in the photos above- were those collars lined? 47- 54...?

Re: Ivy 1947-1954
Very cool shots. Thanks Yuca. And by the way, when exactly did longwings hit the scene?

Re: Ivy 1947-1954
the ticket pockets and wide lapels almost seem like eyesores and the bowties are on thin ice too, whereas the penny loafers, two-button sleeves, and cuffed trousers are great and are there for the duration of Ivy ..... for me ....
agree that the looseness of the fit is agreeable .......
love to see these shots, thanks Yuca!

Re: Ivy 1947-1954
Ticket pockets and bow ties are not my bag either, although the latter seems to have been a big part of the look for many decades (and still popular). The lapels above are a bit crazy, but I'd love to be able to pull off this look.
Incidentally, my favourite tweed sack is supposed to be from around 1950. The lapels are not as wide as those above, indeed they are a perfect width, however the pockets are slanted - an unusual but successful twist on the ivy theme. (Photos to follow next year, as it is an absolute masterpiece. Whenever I wear it I feel like a walking art gallery.)

Re: Ivy 1947-1954
I saw a guy standing at Ipswich train station wearing one the other week, everyone was pointing and laughing, just as I jad been a few stops before at all the funny haircuts people had in Essex. I think this kid was part of the igentry, it was a very NY look he had on. I thought well done but I also thought it looked a bit silly. A bit to knowing a bit too self aware.
Anyway, to my knowledge there are only two people who can wear bowties in a modern setting. One is Zachary Deluca, and the other... is me.

Re: Ivy 1947-1954
N.B. When I said I'd love to be able to pull the look off, I was referring to 40s lapels, trousers and ties, rather than a bow tie. I don't particularly dislike bow ties (with a sack jacket or suit), but I can't imagine myself ever wearing one. They're not me.
