Re: Ivy League style for today
I think Ox has found the perfect low-profile Ivy look. As we all know WM is the master of the true late 50s/60s look, like he has a time machine, which is admirable but not for everyone. Ox is a great example of how to wear the look in 2017.
A+ as always. Great tie, I always mean to get more green ties.

That outfit with the waterfowl tie really catches the eye somehow, nice choice of colours! The same goes for Woof's knit tie.

Re: Ivy League style for today
I've been tempted, but not that tempted. I think DB blazers look best on gents of a certain age, distinguished and definitely not for youthful chaps. Kate Middleton's dad types sport them with ease.
Blazers can illicit very negative reactions and I've seen it a couple of times, so you need to be careful. However, changing the buttons to the antique silver ones from Benson & Clegg will eliminate the negative effect. It seems to be the gold and brass buttons that draws the negative vibes.

36R jackets are hard to come by vintage, so this jacket was a shot in the dark that I think turned out pretty well. I would've gotten SB if I had the chance, however.

Club collar, excellent work! Vintage I assume?

Re: Ivy League style for today
Not vintage B-B, it's just a cheap basic that I picked up a few years back, I'm still looking for a vintage one with a fuller cut. I think I have dropped a shirt size so more of a 15 these days and only seem to find 14.4 or 15.5 in vintage stock. Warhol eh Woof, never thought of that ha.

Re: Ivy League style for today
The blazer looks good LeeLo. I prefer the top combo, especially those loafers which have a nice patina.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Thanks, woof. I agree, the top combo is more appealing to the Ivy look. I have two pairs of AE Patriots (my favorite loafer), one burgundy and one brown. The top combo features the burgundy pair, which I've owned for a about a year and a half longer than the brown. Hopefully my brown pair develops a similar patina down the road.
