Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Not so much a new find, more a new lease of life of an old find - finally got round to altering my London Fog maincoat which was just too long for me to wear (looked too fancy dress below the knee), so had a few inches shortened and bobs your uncle, fits perfectly. Sits at the knee, looks classic without throwing the proportions (not as short as Michael Caine - as Harry Palmer - short, neither). I believe it was The Weejun who talked about shopping your own wardrobe...

^ T it won't be later than 62/63 with that label, can't be more exact but at least it gives you a 'ballpark'.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
That was my thinking mate, going by when they introduced the Russell Athletic name. Think it's pretty cool and looks good nick. Best thing about BR is the returns policy if not right, mind you you have to dig through an incredible amount of chaff to find the wheat.

^ it's cracking T, great colour combo.
BR's returns policy is one of it's better features ( as descriptions and listings isn't a strong point 
)

Tom, you might want to post your find and inquire about its background over at these two sites:
http://www.uni-watch.com/
http://boards.sportslogos.net/
Both sites are devoted to American athletic uniforms (kits). There's great respect for the old manufacturers and styles that have disappeared.

Great find Tom! Would look great on the scoot in the Summer, with some white Levis and dessies.
