Re: Ivy League style for today
It really ain't Ivy, and it doesn't need to be, I don't mind Soggs posting because I know he appreciates the style, and he is a fellow natural shoulderist.
Continental Ivy is a style, see my Ebony magazine posts from 1960, but things like the subtle break, the lower rise, and the contoured waist suppression don't even give it a look that is similar to the older style of Continental Ivy, it is very much something of Soggy's own footprint. IMO

Re: Ivy League style for today
Are you being serious?
He looks pretty Ivy until you pan down and see the white bunchy triangle. From there on down I loose the Ivy feel.

Thaw, please give me a link. They look like they go extremely well with my new Continental Ivy soft shouldered Armani jacket.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Well you really need an office job firstly.
What I would say is Soggs has to balance the fact his hips are quite wide compared to his chest, I'm not sure what the measurements are but I wonder if Soggs has a drop lower than 6'', although his waist might be thin, I'm pretty sure his seat wouldn't be. Anyway my point is, with suppression the jacket does give a slight pear shape, but because of how tall he is, it is elongated and doesn't look a severe as some oddly shaped short person, I wonder how a vintage sack would suit Soggs. Be interesting to see.
There is nothing wrong with what Soggs wears, much better than the large majority of the planet, but I would like to see him dress in a full Ivy get up, similar to what Chens wears would work well on Soggs. Imo Also he has the added bonus of not having a face like a balding dyke.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Its (Ivy) elements that I dig are jackets shoulders, shirt collars, shoes, ties and knitwear. I can't view the my "style" as American, apart from chino's and jeans really. I understand that the shoulder line WAS America's classic menswear style but its an international one these days, no one is doing it better than the Italians. I just don't want to look like a throwback to the 60s, its just not me. Not that I don't think it looks great on others. I can't subscribe to wearing just garments that fall into such a rigid famework of rules. Its just not me. I think "utilizing Ivy in a contemporary way" is fair comment. Not that I'm going to get my high rise nipple tickling under pants in a twist about it anyway. I think perhaps its the Modernist school of thought that resides in me.
Rocking traditional, current and classic Italian Ivy since 2011.
