I don't necessarily hate white bucks, but wouldn't wear them myself. Brown or dirty bucks are just fine by me.

Re: Is there anything you absolutely hate about Ivy ?
I love bow ties and wear them more often than not. However, I'm not sure if they are really Ivy. Maybe more for the professor of the kids we look at in the photos rather than the kids themselves?

Re: Is there anything you absolutely hate about Ivy ?
I have seen pictures (mostly in the uk) of Ivy lovers wearing cravats.
I think they look completely ridiculous.

Not that they're a staple Ivy item but Ascots and cravats make me cringe. I don't really like boat shoes either.

Re: Is there anything you absolutely hate about Ivy ?
the pea coats were around in the '50s in all the surplus stores but they had no cachet on campus during the well-dressed days ... by the mid-'60s the army-navy surplus look started to be hipper as the students were dressing more casually and got into looking less privileged cf. Radical Chic .....
but to my mind the Sterlingwear and/or Schott type of pea coat is more American than British .....
I wore a pea type coat in school and it kept me very warm which I am still grateful for ...
not sure how we got to the peacoat but I like them. always did.

Joe's more likely to call someone a "sissy" " for wearing tassel loafers. It's an American idiom for a homosexual man.
