Re: Free & Easy: Rugged Ivy
Nice, I'll look for it in my local mag shop. While not really rugged, those Van buckle back pants are pretty cool... and that red patch pocket blazer, too. Handsome up!

Re: Free & Easy: Rugged Ivy
Theres actually a section called British Ivy in there too. Though to me it looks like the old school British look that the original Ivy was trying to copy, and thus as Russell likes to point out got it wrong and created something new in the process.
Its an interesting edition.

Re: Free & Easy: Rugged Ivy
I bet there's some distinction in Japan between 'Heavy Ivy' & 'Rugged Ivy' that we can't see..

Re: Free & Easy: Rugged Ivy
I have an older F&E issue with a fairly wide Ivy feature. The "Ivy" themes were a little strange, Military Ivy featured blazers and ties with combat trousers (blood stains and POW stencils optional). Outdoors Ivy was tweed, bow ties, down vests and heavy climbing boots. Country Ivy was western and cowboy gear with tweed jackets. Only a few of the combinations looked natural but everything seemed ooze passion (and I can't read Japanese). The still life photography in F&E is great, very rarely there are models wearing the clothes. My only complaint is that once you have a couple of issues, the rest is pretty much repetition.
Fun & Crazy!

Re: Free & Easy: Rugged Ivy
I'd be interested to know what TRSs take/opinion is on all this, knowing him to be an enthusiast for Japanese Ivy. I mistrust the notion of 'Rugged Ivy', seeing it as mere shtick.
