Re: Ivy League style for today
The guy was nothing but trouble. He was creating tension, was late, and finally was insubordinate to the freaking VP of the company! HA! He had to go. It wasn't fun, but I actually didn't feel bad about it, as he really had it coming.

Re: Ivy League style for today
You'd think it would be easy. You just show up on time, do these clearly defined tasks, and then I'll pay you your earned wage. The fact that this guy talked back to the VP right in front of me, made the task real easy. But I did have a grown man start sobbing when I fired him. He had 4 daughters, and it was during the holidays no less. I really did feel bad for that guy, as I liked him. He pleaded and pleaded for his job, but that decision came down from above and I just had to carry out the order.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Some adults seem to not mature past the age of 14.
But to get the thread back on track, when I fired the guy I was in a Brooks beige and blue tattersall, navy chinos, and I was wearing some beefy black Florsheim longwings. He knew I meant business.

Re: Ivy League style for today
I love it. Just tell me that's not a Keydge. Even if it is, just say it's not, for my benefit.
Just kidding. Looks good regardless.

Re: Ivy League style for today
/\ I can't even tell if it's darted or has elbow pads, I'm just a fool for corduroy, always was! is there supposed to be something wrong with Keydge that I don't know about? I've only seen a few in photos, hard to say, they weren't around back in the old days like tweed sacks or blue blazers, but besides that what do people not like about them? they seem like they could be useful casual jackets at least for when you want something you might roll up and put into your carry-on bag or briefcase.
But: nice corduroy and outfit, Bop!

Re: Ivy League style for today
That is a Keydge, blue cotton if i am not mistaken
Pictured with that end on end makers and superb tie it looks a winner in my opinion.
Tie details please Bop ?

Re: Ivy League style for today
My only real beef with Keydge is the hype, and the fact that Bop always makes fun of them. I have no personal experience with the brand. It's unfair, I know, but I always need something to hate, even it is blind, irrational hate. But I can't argue with Bop's picture there. Very pleasing.

Re: Ivy League style for today
My beef with Keydge is not so much the jackets (I like them generally) - it's the pricing
They seem to have almost doubled over the last few years
At £100 to £150 max they would be a great knockabout jacket.
But at £200-300 it's quite difficult to justify in terms of production costs / material etc

Re: Ivy League style for today
+1 on all that - all Ralphies I've seen this year were very nice, much nicer than Keydge. Some of them were undarted, too - for example a linen jacket. Too pricey, too - but at least here in Vienna there is a big outfitter that has good Sale Prices at the end of the season... You can be lucky to get a Ralphie for € 170,-- to 200,--, which is better than the Keydge price. And they are half canvassed, too (at least the MAde in Italy ones) - in contrary to the Keydge jackets, that are totally unconstructed - which is the reason why the woolen ones disintegrate over the years. Not a problem with the Cord ones or the cotton ones, but with wool... And, to be honest - GBP 300,-- for an unconstructed jacket? WTF...
