Yeah spot on, not alterations needed. I'm lucky, There's a hell of a lot of vintage stuff in my size.

It's funny when you look back and see all these lovely suits, then me dressed as a farm hand. Ivy is a broad spectrum it seems.

Now if only I looked like this guy:

I'm pretty sure that ad is for my suit.

^ Now that's what models should look like, like men. What's with all the gaunt emo types used these days? It's either that or some bearded dude With peircings. I'm even more jealous of your suit now, That ad's cool. Advertising really works doesn't it, I'm a sucker for it.

TM Lewin poplin BD of a few years...nothing classic here but a near perfect fit..
YMC Dark brown Scottish wool saddle crew of a coupla years back - great shape/quality/washes poifect...
LVC's 505s
Sanders Dark brown playboys
Green vintage Tootal
Stetson herringbone newsboy
Schott dark brown leather peacoat - with NO LOGO on the outside I'd add...

If the Impressions are considering making the Young Mods Forgotten Story Pt 2...I'm a contender for the cover...

You never feel like you're being sold the image you want do you? I mean clearly that is the basis of advertising, and why Jacamo does so well with the nation's men, because they're selling the image of how most men want to see themselves, as blokes. The only problem now is trying to convince them they look like bags of shit.

Ha! It's quite easy to part with money if it's exactly what I want, even if it's not my size, it's about getting the DNA out the clothes like Jim says.
