Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

... And Cord suits are not "Trad", as we remember AAAT deciding not too long ago with great feeling.

Dammit - AAAT 'Trad' isn't Trad! Sort your bloody selves out, boys -

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

Ahhhh - Because they start from an attractive (to them) iGent dogma & then try to fit in the real world to back themselves up.

It's all arse about face. The cart before the horse.

But it suits them.

The trick is to get the bright sparks to improve the whole shebang by questioning their various unhistoric 'rules'.

It'll either work out or not...

Some progress HAS been made with them over time, but the seductive power of the Disney/Harris view of the American Tradition is still very strong for lazy thinkers.

Ah, well.

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

I love the look of a chambray shirt, fawn cord jacket, and black knit tie...but I can't figure out which pants to wear with it.  Shirt too similar to jeans, chinos with a fawn jacket tough to pull off, flannels and worsted too "fancy"...any ideas?

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

Olive poplin pants?  A fawn cord suit?  Gabardine or Cavalry Twill pants?  I'd just go with the flannels.

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

I'd go for dark blue jeans. I know it's a bit Ralph Lauren but I prefer to think of it as 'Rugged Trad' as our Ivy fixated Japanese cousins term this type of look in the wonderful 'Free and Easy' magazine.

g.g.

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

I have to say I'm a fan of corduroy on corduroy - different shades and wales even (although not jumbo cord) Nice rumpled professor look, or 60s architect.

Wasn't it that corner-stone of 1960's Ivydom, Bobby Dylan that once sang, 'his bucks are dirty, but his hands are clean'?

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

/\    Like that a lot !

Another bit of Trad fun was that zippered knitwear was judged not Trad - Nevermind that it was a commonplace of the 1930s... It just didn't suit their fantasy of what the past & their tradition was.

... So they invented a new Disney version for themselves instead !

Such foolish fun !

Jim.

Re: Ivy As Hell: The Corduroy Jacket.

Kingstonian...

or what about


Aviator shades

Madras check short sleeve

Levi's needlecord 5 pocket jeans or needlecord sta-prest, light coloured

Oxblood Bass Weejuns

blue or grey Argyle socks optional?



A trucker jacket (only for the kids) would have to be another material, but they also came in cord... A golf or tennis blouson, optional in summer...

That's what I heard...



Nowadays there are even Corduroy Harringtons!

I've seen a slightly scruffy (with a beard and a grown out barnet) Spanish student beard in a wonderful olive green Brooks cord 'Arry a few weeks ago... Desert Boots and jeans, if I recall correctly.
