Re: In Praise of Prints

Whilst not a fan of the cut of those shirts above, I'm a big fan of prints.

Out of those posted above, print wise, I like the one where he is holding the record sleeve best.

Are you another anti-popoverist Formby? Or were you the original one, I can't remember.

Re: In Praise of Prints

Yeah prints are my main interest in clothing I guess, I studied a lot of this type of thing at college and uni, I think it may have been where the bug bit

Re: In Praise of Prints

Are these prints part of the Ivy canon?

Re: In Praise of Prints

aye, pretty strong part, everything above there is vintage, popular on the film and tv stars of the time. I think LIam posted one from that comedy with the beatnik kid the other day, I think the actor had his own signature shirts, something I've seen a few times from that period.

Re: In Praise of Prints

The conservative thing was talked up on here and other places because it suited some people's tastes I think, ok you might not want to go crazy, but the important thing is the cut should be Ivy, and as mid century american clothing thrived on being bright with strong prints, I mean, it was the new fabric technology of the time!

Re: In Praise of Prints

I suppose it's more to do with the scope of age and interest on the site, I've a foot in each camp really, I'm not sure so much if it is age or taste, when I see someone young dress ultra-conservative I think it looks odd like becoming old before your time, when I see someone older try and dress very young like some of the Japanese guys, again I feel as though that's a bit over the top.

It does come down to individualism though and although the clothing has a broad range of styles and uses not every item holds up to being worn today by people of any age. To me boardshirts are practical and I like the look of them, I will always steer more towards 5 pockets than trousers, and I enjoy madras prints and bolder stripes, where the line is, isn't exact, Trainers, hoodies, casualwear is still fine for me, but it'd have to be the right style I suppose relatively simple stuff.

I think a lot of the interest in conservative style comes from a backlash to the ultra-casual shift of society, thing is I don't see the point on being reactionary if what I need to wear is casual. Maybe that could be from being round smart clothing all the time now, I appreciate the other side of things. I'm yet to own a baseball cap, but again, I wouldn't think someone had a problem if they did and it was like the Yale one Wooly listed. Again, you have to be comfortable with what you wear, if you feel it's not right for you, then don't wear it.

But I've had people tell me I don't understand the conservatism of modernism, (Mr. EUR) thing is, he has just edited history to suit his taste, he isn't modernism, just a a fan of parts of it. Be who you are, understand what looks best for you, and express yourself, Ivy gives us a wide palette to choose from.

It's the Jeet Kune Do of menswear, take what works, discard what doesn't, you'll be left with your own personal style.

Re: In Praise of Prints

Also WOof, did you post a photo of you in a batik style top, or have I just began to make up things in my head, that look good on you with your jeans. Not particularly conservate, also when you where you dark plaids under you sports jacket in my mind that's less conservative. I'm not trying to unpick what you said, I just remember seeing these things and thinking they were cool and worked on you, and I didn't see the outfit as looking conservative.
