I wouldn't say that. More like a linebacker... though cave trolls would make excellent linebackers.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Haha, I'm quite lucky to have landed a job at a men's outfitters that carry large sizes, as well as work opposite 3 charity shops which seem to be filled with Brooks Bros, RL and Lands End, as well Savile Row/Jermyn Street and Italian suits n' shirts. I've hit the jackpot really.

Yeah that is a tough one. I'll keep my eyes pealed.

Re: Ivy League style for today
I'm not too far off that size myself (W30, C36, N15). It's actually a surprisingly good size for vintage tailored clothing. Plenty of stuff that was fast outgrown and rarely worn.
For most of today's hight street retailers, these sizes no longer exist.

Re: Ivy League style for today
I tend to find vintage is a much better fit. The best fitting shirt I have is a 70's Brooksgate madras. It's as if it was tailored for me. No chance of finding that in a modern retailers (apart from Jump the Gun in Brighton maybe).
I've pretty much given up on combing the high street for the reasons you mentioned.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Trousers are a problem too. Kids these days may have 28" waists but there wearing there trousers round there 34" arse cheeks.
The high streets dead to me.

That looks like a beautiful bit of herringbone Soggs... the colour of which is the perfect match for that blue. Perfect combination IMO.
