Re: Ian Dury
I'd love to know more about those early days with Peter Blake, wearing Ivy League & listening to Jazz.

Re: Ian Dury
Well he listened to jazz right up until the end. He digged Coltrane and was well schooled and a lecturer in art. He had been a brilliant student in the '60's, I'm pretty much sure he wasn't a Ted in those days. Modern jazz = Ivy League.

In a TV interview he was recalling his days at art college and mentioned Peter Blake's "herringbone jacket with a hook vent"

C'mon Jim... Levis jeans with big turn ups. Levis jackets, sandals, baseball boots, turtlenecks, beard. I'm sorry chum, Ivy cannot claim this cat.
He's beat baby!

Re: Ian Dury
Wore Ivy too. Just like Jack.
Ivy was a part of Beat.
And surely this by now you know, Malchik?

Re: Ian Dury
Jim, I'm quite interested to hear more of your ideas that Ivy was part of Beat.
I'm sure Ace Face could contribute to this debate...

Re: Ian Dury
I read in a book that Jack wore Ivy. Early on, mixed in with all the rest.
They were just American clothes back then. He just wore American clothes.

Re: Ian Dury
Exactly. And what Blake wore was more than just British clothes of the time. Like Joe Orton and many other creatives of the time, he made a decision to adopt some of the 'uniform' of the Beat.

Re: Ian Dury
This is the thing Jim. When are people conciously wearing Ivy or just wearing the clothes of the time? You could have a photograph of some guy wearing draipipe jeans and a leather jacket which were de rigueur in the late seventies but were they 'punk rock' or just fresh from Milletts?

Re: Ian Dury
Indeed.
And the current construct of Ivy (let alone 'Trad') is not what it was then.
We don't really know these clothes at all.

Aye.
I talk about GG (not that he needs it), but long before him came Chris.

Re: Ian Dury
And isn't all this just how clothing styles have been so perverted on the US MBs?
