This thread actually poses some relevant questions, doesn't it ?
A great thread veering away from boom years and subcultures and jazz ...but the authenticity cannot be denied.

There was a Cal Tjader compilation from the late 80s which had sleevenotes saying how the band had no idea they were making music that would resonate with an audience years after the event...
This seems to be the case with the people in the above photos also. They were just doing what they were doing at the time.

Re: Yearbook Finds: The Best of Collegiate and School Ivy

I've been saving pictures from some personal ivy icons from the post boom years period. I have some pictures of my father that were spot on but I have to really look for them. 
The look from that time was a little bit looser/full cut. Preppies liked their clothes baggier than the sixties Ivy guys.

What I learned from my dad and looking at pictures of Woody Allen is to make an item a little baggy and the other one trimmer. Think how Woody Allen circa 77 to 80 wore looser chinos with a trim ocbd. That's always been a great look that came from that period.

Anyways - enough of me talking - this is a really great thread - someone could make their PhD thesis on the relation to the more relaxed clothes to the changing times. I also like the "George Lucas" style that some of these guys had - a bit rugged Americana - lots of those guys never stopped wearing that look - especially on the west coast.

It would behoove us to find some yearbooks from the traditionally black schools.

I think we'd find the same pattern over the years as we have seen here, but it would behoove us, yes.

Re: Yearbook Finds: The Best of Collegiate and School Ivy

That's right, Yuca. There was still a bit of the look around and the IL unis were probably one of the few strongholds of the look.

What I meant was: Not all of that what we can see in the post-1967 campus pictures is the "Ivy Look". That's why that tag is so problematic, and that's why some are confused.

Re: Yearbook Finds: The Best of Collegiate and School Ivy

The look retreated back to New England. Preppies carried on the look, as did college professors, legal professionals and the business class . It also reverted to being an upper middle class/upper class thing. It seems to go through stages of popularity and now is just IMO a clean american classic look. Shops like jcrew have popularized an updated preppy look with the general public. Tassel loafers and chinos are very popular once again. It all seems to go in cycles.

I work with many older gentlemen, these guys never stopped wearing ivy - weejuns, boat shoes, ocbd are just what they Always wore.  They don't - however - care about plackets, unlined collars or tapper - they are happy to wear the updated made in china versions of the style.
