You all go around in your Harringtons, jeans and loafers if you want to.

Really RS?
I can't believe for one minute you could resist putting an opinion in there or miss the chance for a swipe at Chensvold
Nope. I'd just put out a picture book. As for Chensvold - He has no place until he earns it when it comes to this subject of ours. He wouldn't be in my book... yet.

Re: The Ivy Book
as of last week the tome appears to be sold out within the City of Chicago.
Only copies left unsold are in rich, WASP-infested suburbs.

Re: The Ivy Book
I was flipping through the book this afternoon and enjoyed it. I got the same fun feeling that I did when I starting going through those Sports Illustrated issues online. I see Chens has done a bit on the Japanese ivy fans (miyuki-zoku) but he was still dressing in white bow ties when we learned about the all-important Japanese role in preserving this style.
I think someone needs to scan in those Ivy Illustrated booklets.

Re: The Ivy Book
I've been opening the book at random, noting how much of the 'mystery' is taken out of 'Ivy'. Good. The older I get, the less difficult it seems.

Re: The Ivy Book
I had the pleasure of seeing both the authors at the new John Simons shop when GQ magazine came to photograph. Graham Marsh wore the same blue cotton J Keydge Ivy League sack jacket as Paul Simons (the son of John Simons), Jimmy and Jason Jules although Jason was busy that day elsewhere. The jacket is a London Ivy league best seller and I think currently waiting for new stock to come in.
Talking of Jason Jules here is an account of his dinner with Jimmy and co featuring Jim's shirt! http://www.garmsville.com/2011/06/close … mburg.html
John Gall (J.P. Gaul) was immaculately dressed in Ivy League style with the perfect knitted tie. An imposingly tall figure until you catch his eye and he smiles and laughs which he seemed to spend all day doing along with the other Ivy League fans in London that day.
Graham Marsh is an older gentleman and also very smart in a relaxed way. Both authors were very approachable and Jimmy was working the room in his usual way. A day I will remember forever.

Re: The Ivy Book
It's painful to see how thin Jim's hand is in that photo.
Doog.

An absurd comment.
Just looking - again - at Page 138. Talon, 1956. It would be fascinating (perhaps) to see some sales figures (for the US, at least primarily). What might the adventurous young English male have been wearing in 1956? A duffel coat? I'm guessing these young men are attending a race meeting. Bit different from the kind of Terry-Thomas characters you might have found at an English racecourse. I mean, did that look find favour, even in the hippest parts of New England? I found a Madras jacket perhaps a step too far. Seersucker, though, seems to find favour with some women. At least, I've had a couple of favourable comments. Interesting, too, to contrast this look with Jason Jules' remark about passing unnoticed. I'm with him on this, in my periwinkle BB shirt and high-waisted chinos and penny loafers. Attracts little or no attention.
