Re: The long march away from the Spirit of '69
I'm not sure if you are speaking strictly UK here but Ivy was very much fashion. Once it spread from campuses it became a style that was sold and marketed like everything else. The marketers of Ivy League clothing were as much as selling an idea of the clothes as the clothes themselves. This is pretty well documented in the period ads that have shown up here and elsewhere. Of course if you are only talking about Ivy in England I suppose my point is moot.

No arguments here. Your pet theory seems pretty sound.

There were some mistakes in the Jim Ferguson fashion section, too... Didn't they even mis-spell "Cordovan"?
