Vintage Ivy Wish-list
Ok so here is the deal. Basically I shop habitually and compulsively, more of a hobby than anything else. So post those items you've always wanted but were never able to find, along with your size, and I'll see what I can do when I make my rounds. No pressure, I just find lots of Ivy stuff and I figured I could help out the Talk Ivy folks. Especially those who aren't my size (38R). Tweed sacks are a dime a dozen this time of year.
Best
BOO

Heck, you're a saint!
But I know that from previous dealings with you.
(Still on the lookout for a darker-coloured tweed or herringbone sack in 36S)

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
That's a mighty generous offer. Unfortunately, I'm a similar size - somewhere between 38R and 40R (my best fitting stuff is vintage Brooks 39R).
If you happen to come across a brown tweed jacket (plain or herringbone, with the usual Ivy details), a tan cord jacket or a mid grey flannel suit that you don't fancy snapping up yourself then I'll be chuffed to bits and pay handsomely.
Cheers

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
Include me in.
I`m after a 3/2 tweed with all the details - lapped seams and hooked vent. Not fussy about colour, brown ,grey, maybe blue (ish). Herringbone would be perfect. I`m a 36S.
I`d like a collarbar if you find one; do they appear?

Flannel shirts from LL Bean; any apparel, really, from Bean domestically made.

I loved that Press cord suit you had. If you ever came across another but in 42/44 I'd be very interested.Thanks a million.

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
I have a few sack jackets I'm prepared to part with. Mostly 40 regs plus a couple of 42 longs. PM me if interested. I should add that I am in the UK.

FAO Moose.
I hope we`re not in competition! I`m going to be away until the beginning of next month so I guess you`ll get first crack if anything turns up.
All the best.

If anyone ever turns up an old white Brooks supima BD in 14.5" (however ratty) with shortish arms (31, 32), I'd be interested.

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
The black spectators look like they've had a custom white paint job, judging by the edges of the black panels.

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
Look at the black brogued actual "longwing" parts. Their edges shouldn't be white.
Not that this matters - some fine shoes there Shooey.

Re: Vintage Ivy Wish-list
Ebay sellers "med-usf" in Germany and "mapvintage" in NYC both have vintage Florsheim and other spectators listed. Especially "med-usf" seems to be sitting on piles of old stock, but they don't come cheap.

Been there, tried that: a 15 fits great round the neck but is almost always WAY too big in the body.
