Re: Ivy League style for today

why not, sounds super nice, thanks! Actually I am a 15 in brooks bro slim fit and 15.5 for extras slim fit.
I always go for the half size up when it's slim (what is called slim in Europe though, so something fitted, not
bb slim fit ocbd). Thanks Armchaired.

Rookie, I think Leer was getting mixed up when he said that shirt was a slim fit.
The Helio was a Brooks brothers makers, Made in USA and not slim fit (i passed him the link).
I have never seen a slim fit makers

Re: Ivy League style for today

I don't really see Ivy GW but I do see that soft shouldered European style that will have been a major influence on Ivy.

But labels don't matter. I'm splitting hairs. Love the shoulder line especially. It's a great look overall and you wear it better than anyone else I know. Except maybe Daniele.


... could do with an inch or two higher in the waist though ; )

Re: Ivy League style for today

I dunno Liam, its all about the silhouette isn't it? What do others think? Modern Continental Ivy, the same silhouette, the same detail really. Its not really changed, just doesn't use the same marketing yet remains popular in the US. Maybe its that "exotic" thing again?


The washed fabrics are quite a new thing in menswear. They feel and look very soft before they've even had a chance to be worn. I've found with mine that they offer a relaxed look from the off, no waiting for shoulders to "bed in". Very lax and very easy to dress down or up. I think they'd have been a number one seller in the boom years. Regards the trews I think they look in proportion, 11.5" is enough for me.

Re: Ivy League style for today

I had to have a look at that "Trad" forum, to see what it was all about. Left me a bit cold really. Theres under the radar, then theres dull as hell.

Re: Ivy League style for today

I'm not sure I follow the 'modern continental Ivy' thing. I'm not really clued up enough on all these terms so I'll not argue to much with you on it. 

It's certainly a similar silhouette.  Many of the details are there.

Where does Ivy begin and end? It's that old chestnut.

There's a joke in there about Mods, DJs and 'making morons dance'  but I'm not going anywhere near it..

Re: Ivy League style for today

GW, pants too short and long.  And what are the heels like on those Sassos?  Aren't you tall enough?  Dig the tab collar fer sure.  I'm not getting an IV vibe either.  But, I mean, this coming from a guy that wears desert boots.

Jim, if I didn't know any better, by the looks of those pics I'd say you're American.

And Ivyrookie, ain't nothing wrong with a full cut.  It's the IV thing to do.
