Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Chinos and a lightweight cotton BD, striped or plain (or check if you really have to). End on end would be ideal. Surcingle. Tieless means you can temporarily remove the jacket if you start to overheat, although for a more formal occasion a tie would obviously work. Gunboats, loafers or desert boots/chukkas.
Nice jacket!
N.B. I've never actually owned a seersucker jacket, so I may well be giving bad advice.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
It looks really good. My two shirts with the early 2000's label says "the original polo shirt" and they are nice. I haven't noticed any difference between them and my other makers.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
AC, you should be ashamed of yourself. I thought you were a paragon of Ivy credibility.
Joking aside, it looks a lot like a JS OCBD of mine from a year or two ago, one of my favourites (mine has a flap pocket though). Great colour.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
I like it. For what that's worth...

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Here's one in Blue and white with the same label in a 16.5 /33 if anyone's interested.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Both nice Armchaired.
I have never noticed a Makers oxford with the two cuff buttons.
Is this common?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Something I've just found - in my own wardrobe!
I have two (2) only vintage, or at least second hand, LL Bean OCBDs.
One a tasteful tattersalls - yes there is such a thing - and another, dusty faded pink with broad stripes. I just realised they have the best collars of all my shirts - soft -ish, high- ish and great roll, long peaks, with thick material.
My query:
1. Was this common to all LL Bean OCBDs at one stage?
and
2. Do they still have these desirable properties?
(Sadly I suspect I know the answer to the second question.)
