Re: Ivy Accessories

I'm not sure that the ID bracelet is Ivy.  In the contexts above, my observation doesn't diminish its effectiveness.  But I'd say the accessories are very few.

sterling buckle.  maybe a ring, signet.  watches.  obviously not lighters as much any more.  And I'm not sure cig cases.  Those I was always a sucker for those.

Hat, scarf, gloves, watch. Very occasional cuff links. That's as far as it goes for me.

Re: Ivy Accessories

Could make a good thread - are guns trad? Or: how trad is your gun?

I recall one of the FL crowd likes to pose with various firearms.

Re: Ivy Accessories

Yeah, I think of ((modern) post modern) 'Ivy' as mostly about what you're not letting 'hang out'. For me it's a reductive thing, scraping the shit back so it's bare bones. Good button-down, barely there blazer, old-as-stone leather on the feet. I want the uniform, the no-surprises early morning drudge of decking yourself out in the basic kit. Fuck the trinkets and baubles and shit around your neck that doesn't meant anything, the irony, the decorative trills and 'I- saw-it-on-the-internet' horse shit.
Hey, but that's just me.
Newman ended up with a booze problem so I suspect the bottle-opener 'round the neck was a tin-plate albatross that fucked-up his ancient-marinership-cool among his nearest and dearest. But he was (and is) still fucking righteous, Ivy or not.
Amen.

Re: Ivy Accessories

for me: sunglasses, key fob from Leather Man of Essex, mini-folding-pruning knife on the keychain, cotton handkerchiefs ....

sterling belt buckles, got two of them from grandfather with his initials on them, wear them, bought a plain leather belt strap from Brooks years ago to put them on, wear them to this day, but think of it just as a belt, an item of clothing, not an accessory per se ....

watches ... again, got them from father, they live in their old cases in my desk drawer, I forget to fish them out ... more of an old L. L. Bean mechanical field watch type, I like cheap sturdy wind-up watches on solid nylon straps, and some old dive watches too ... some mellow Omegas ... nothing too fancy that I would regret busting when I spazz ........

bracelets and other special adornments, I don't have any of that stuff, never did ... my dad really did not approve of hippie shit and though we fought him just to make a point we still never wore any of it ourselves, just defended others' rights to wear the love beads and take the acid Sancho referred to above ........

I wouldn't mind a beautiful huge gold or silver ankh though right about now ...

Re: Ivy Accessories

In all seriousness, a simple watch and strap (Timex on a NATO or dark leather), a hat or cap depending on circumstances (summertime = baseball or bucket or Panama, winter = felt fedora or watch cap), a scarf, gloves, sunglasses. I likewise don't go in much for personal adornments. I don't even like pocket squares.

Re: Ivy Accessories

the only thing dudes should have around their necks are ties, ascots, bandanas and scarves. anything else is an albatross.
