Re: Ivy League style for today
... I'd like to see more Trads here too.
The 'Tradly' Trads won't come & I wouldn't expect them to. The harsh light of day would be bad for their compexions.
But the Thinking Trads who are learning, growing, evolving, exploring are absolutely my kind of people.
What's the jump from Trad to Ivy League? Merely being better informed.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Wow, thanks guys. I didn't really expect all that.
That is one of only two point collars I have. I usually pin them, but I was observing at a local high school, and try to keep it simple when I go out there.
Otherwise I mostly wear BD's with ties/suits.

Re: Ivy League style for today
'vintage' Gitman bros blue/white university stripe button down rolled sleeves and untucked (its been a hot one)
white tee shirt
albam chinos with turned up hems
white keds
fresh hair cut a la Steve Mcqueen in Bullitt (but less cool...)
simple, if not a bit preppy.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Thanks for the reply Russell. I appreciate it, especially, as Alex said, that it was constructive.
I don't suppose I'll be posting very many more pictures here. Nothing against you all but it doesn't seem like many people like my pictures, and that's fine. It is your house after all. I'm trying to play nice and actually contribute this time around.

Re: Ivy League style for today
No Jim, I certainly wasn't talking about you. I really did appreciate your comments because they were constructive and still complimentary (you told me what you think I did right and what I still needed to work on). I was mainly referring to the comments in the other thread.

Re: Ivy League style for today
if the 'orrible old EX hadn't taken the camera, there would be pics, but alas.....
navy blue ralph lauren polo
sperry bluepoint penny loafers
great-grandfather's Omega seamaster
"special" Bills m2......why special?
I picked this pair up a few weeks ago @ one of my fav thrift stores. First pair of genuine Bills khakis. On my slim frame, they were plenty roomy, and a touch long, but the rise and waist are perfection.
Seeing as there were a whopping $2, and I have a bit of skill with the sewing machine, I decided to experiment this afternoon. Managed to take out a lot of that extra material, much slimmer and tapered now, and put turn-ups on them.
Overall they look much better, to me at least. I can hear the gasps of purists far and wide, but in keeping with character don't care. I took pants I liked, and with a small amount of work made them even more likable! I may take a bit out of the seat next, since I have inherited white boy flat ass.
Glad I did the work, these look great!

Where are you there Moose. It looks a bit like Newcastle Quayside?
