I nominate:
The Old Brooks shoulder.
The Halrin Rise.
The Brick Red Sole.
The Locker Loop.
...
And I also nominate many who post here!
.
Pale blue shirts. I turn to them more often than white.
A polo shirt (Not the Brooks BD, the other kind) under a sportscoat. Very JFK.
Blue, white, pink and any university stripe OCBD.
Any of these grab you?
Surcingle belts
Sperry, A/O boat shoes. (Some seem to stray too far. Noticed a guy looking for BLACK boat shoes. Gasp! Much like appearing in public in a cod piece, to me.)
Cheap, functional watches ( Too much for me, but grosgrain bands for many. Too damn many colors to worry about.)
Old, Harris tweed 3/2 sport jackets
Baracudda khaki, or British tan jackets
Well worn Barbour, Bedale or Beaufort jackets
Old, well worn, no longer available top coats from Burberry. Water proofing long worn off, and left side stained with newspaper ink, from carrying the AM paper to read on the train.
Khaki trousers, Bills, or your favorites
Blue blazers for almost any occasion
In some circumstances, the sockless, loafer routine. Amazing how it often works. I sit on the front row in our Anglican Church, and no one else noticed, but the Rector had on tassles, and was sockless with his vestments on. A very Ivy type Rector, and it seemed to work.
Stuff, that is unadorned, functional, and well worn, such as the plain grey sweat shirt that we have ranted about elsewhere.
In many occasions, the '50 style wool, off white, sweat socks with crew neck sweaters, blazers, OCBD, and the usual garb.
Needlepoint belts, lovingly made by hand, not the Smathers and Branson ones that are obviously for those that can't con someone into making one.
Full cut, blue boxer shorts, like those made by Mercer.
Leaving much of the GTH stuff to those that are into faux, Ivy.
Oh well played, Sir!
Surcingle is the perfect name to drop. It sums up so much. The Grosgrain thing is very different.
And Matt was there, DB, Matt was there.
And there's ties, certain ties, knitted and repp, that cannot be reproduced outside the canon of Ivy.
