Longwings. US made preferably, some say cordovan, some say scotchgrain, I say actual grain leather as grown by the beast.

Re: Ivy Staples
The blue candy/university stripe oxford shirt. The white oxford might be the symbol but this one is probably the "coolest". Cord flat fronts preferably in fawn, chocolate, or olive.

Re: Ivy Staples
Grey marl boxy shortish sweatshirt? Not restricted to Ivy per se but a nice corner of the style I like.

Re: Ivy Staples
^ A very nice summation, Alex.
You've really got the Ivy bug now, eh?
Thankfully there is no cure!

Re: Ivy Staples
^ ^ Which is the beauty of the style: There is no 'uniform' in reality. Everything can be tweaked & personalised and still be 'correct' within suprisingly broad boundaries.

Re: Ivy Staples
Very nice trou., Alex . Cuffs are also an option, along with many other details*, but only an option. Some in fact say that Ivy was a cuffless style - Boyer, Gorman, etc. It depends on what year you look at.
* Some Options: On seam pockets, straight (no taper) legs, flap back pockets or back pocket, button-through back pockets or pocket, one of each, 'Beaded' (lapped) seams on the outer seam of the trou., buckle-back detail, side adjuster tabs with buckles or buttons instead of belt loops, height of rise, slimness of cut ... ... ... Etc.
And trouser pleats were also there as an option.
100 years of choice!

Re: Ivy Staples
Lost that bit of a belly since then by the virtue of regular bicycling. Recommended. Bellies are not "Ivy".
