Pale blue shirts. I turn to them more often than white.

A polo shirt (Not the Brooks BD, the other kind) under a sportscoat. Very JFK.

Re: Uncompromising Ivy.

Any of these grab you?

Surcingle belts

Sperry, A/O boat shoes. (Some seem to stray too far. Noticed a guy looking for BLACK boat shoes. Gasp! Much like appearing in public in a cod piece, to me.)

Cheap, functional watches ( Too much for me, but grosgrain bands for many. Too damn many colors to worry about.)

Old, Harris tweed 3/2 sport jackets

Baracudda khaki, or British tan jackets

Well worn Barbour, Bedale or Beaufort jackets

Old, well worn, no longer available top coats from Burberry. Water proofing long worn off, and left side stained with newspaper ink, from carrying the AM paper to read on the train.

Khaki trousers, Bills, or your favorites

Blue blazers for almost any occasion

In some circumstances, the  sockless, loafer routine. Amazing how it often works. I sit on the front row in our Anglican Church, and no one else noticed, but the Rector had on tassles, and was sockless with his vestments on. A very Ivy type Rector, and it seemed to work.

Stuff, that is unadorned, functional, and well worn, such as the plain grey sweat shirt that we have ranted about elsewhere.

In many occasions, the '50 style wool, off white, sweat socks with crew neck sweaters, blazers, OCBD, and the usual garb.

Needlepoint belts, lovingly made by hand, not the Smathers and Branson ones that are obviously for those that can't con someone into making one.

Full cut, blue boxer shorts, like those made by Mercer.

Leaving much of the GTH stuff to those that are into faux, Ivy.

Oh well played, Sir!

Surcingle is the perfect name to drop.  It sums up so much. The Grosgrain thing is very different.

Re: Uncompromising Ivy.

And there's ties, certain ties, knitted and repp, that cannot be reproduced outside the canon of Ivy.
