Re: Alpine Ivy
Maybe some of the heavy knitwear. Maybe the outerwear. Never the Tyrolean hat. Nor the turtle neck. I think it would look too much like caricature. The idea of resort-wear is very Boom Years, though, I think. Those chaps at 'Esquire' really liked to lay down the law on casual-wear like jeans (dude ranches only) and shorts (around the tennis club).

Re: Alpine Ivy
I like the turtleneck under a Pendleton board shirt, sometimes under a tartan flannel bd...
I got a loden coat from my grandfather, but I never wear it, just a bit hard to pull off for a young-ish guy in central Europe, the Tyrolean hat would be even harder...
I think these Esquire verdicts on shorts and jeans are from another era. Of course, you should know where not to wear jeans or shorts. I assume everyone posting or even lurking on a clothing forum does know that jeans are only for black tie, and shorts only for white tie...

Re: Alpine Ivy
I've flirted with the idea of a Loden coat in the past. There used to be a shop in Fulham run by two delightful middle aged ladies who were always dressed in traditional alpine clothing. The coats are made of a very densely woven wool cloth which is reputed to be very warm although the coat is comparatively thin and light, boiled wool I think it's called. I decided not to buy one after some deliberation, the teutonic overtones just didn't work for me and there are plenty of American winter garments to explore.

They shag mountain goats, so I've heard. Here in Derbyshire the sheep run like stink, so you often have to make do with a chicken.

Last Christmas someone round here went into a pet shop and asked if they sold stockings for dogs.
"This isn't that kind of shop, sir".

Re: Alpine Ivy
I ski quite a bit. All my outerwear is modern technical gear but I always wear a button down and thick knitwear underneith. I don't think it would be very practical but I'd love to get a tweed ski jacket and trousers made up.

Re: Alpine Ivy
that's a loden coat or loden jacket, yes, but not what I had in mind...
I was talking about a full length loden overcoat...
The collarless loden jackets are traditional Austrian, Bavarian, all over Southern Germany and beyond, but it's very traditional gear, unlike traditional Ivy, more in the sense of traditional national costume...
The Loden overcoats were much more popular all over Europe with hunters, and at least since the early 1930s or even before also popular in New England.

Re: Alpine Ivy
I have a full-length Loden coat which I plan on digging out quite soon. A very nice, quiet, dark green. Bought it in Paris though rather than the Tyrol. I shall not be pairing it with a hat with a feather.

Re: Alpine Ivy
I think something like a sunspel roll neck (turtle neck) which is not too bulky would look pretty tidy under a button down, some of the gents outfitters in london have them at competitive prices.
The woolwich will be out soon, which I actually think would work very well on the slopes too, with it's latch fastening collar - just needs some salopettes!!
