Ivy against 'Trad'  -

I liked this from the Ivy page:

"I recall in Melbourne Australia "Ivy League" clothing as a rather smart line of apparel, which included cuffless light grey slacks in a 'serge' type material, which was teamed with buff coloured desert boots, a button down collared long sleeve shirt with a vertical stripe patterned in muted darkish colours (green, grey, burgundy, black, etc., in combinations). Jackets were also available in a check pattern (plaid, made up of dark green, grey and black (rather like one of the Scottish tartans). There was also vests that could be worn as well. Of course this ensemble was topped off with an "Ivy League" hair style........a shortish cut, with part, modest side burns and a tapered rear. Despite the colours the whole affect was 'muted, was 'loungish and very comfortable. I should have kept mine; though I would have trouble fitting into it now.

Incidentally, there was a TV program that I recall hosted by two guys, who's names were Delo & Daly, and that was the name of the show. I think they were from the U.S. and though I don't recall anything about the show, other than it was a sort of comic routine. However, I am fairly certain that one or both of them dressed in the Ivy League style. The period would have been in the late 1960's.

Seconded. The "Ivy League" style in Traditional American menswear already has a Wikipedia entry. There is no need for this later, un-historic pastiche to be publicised here. This is a blatent attempt to give legitimacy to the work of Internet trolls. There is no real "American Trad" style. The style is called "Ivy League" by every other source. Delete this nonsense now. - AAACLoyal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.5.174 (talk) 12:16, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
