Mid-century American style.  Kind of an everyman look.

Doesn't look like he's headed to Yale, and also doesn't look like he's going hunting in the Sierra Nevada.  Doesn't look like a surfer or a high school kid either.

Okay then ,what if Bop posted on the ILSFT thread tomorrow in an identical outfit.
Of-course he would look good as always but would we say it's Ivy or Americana ?

Re: The subtle difference's between Ivy and Americana

Last week I went to an air show in Surrey and there amongst all the army surplus and model aeroplane sellers was a stall run by a guy who was a spit for Dusty Hill from ZZ Top. He was selling old restored American petrol pumps and beaten up vintage leather jackets. He said what he really likes to do is customise Harley Davidsons, but the petrol pumps pay better. Anything American from the 50s and 60s and people over here will queue up for it.

Re: The subtle difference's between Ivy and Americana

I think Andy Griffith, on the Andy Griffith show, is a good example of this particular specimen of male fashion of the time.  He was usually in uniform, but when not, he would sometimes be in a button down shirt, sometimes a loop collar - sometimes he'd wear a 3/2 jacket, sometimes a two-button - sometimes he'd be out in the woods and he'd be wearing jeans and Red Wing boots with a tartan flannel shirt or something, or a harrington.  Of course a huge segment of the American population dressed thus at the time and most probably weren't that concerned if not all their jackets rolled to 2.

Re: The subtle difference's between Ivy and Americana

I just read through the comments on Muffy's blog.  I'll say this, I'm proud of us for making it this far without dropping the "H" word.

Re: The subtle difference's between Ivy and Americana

Yes, "ivy league" has once again become a marketing ploy.  Be careful out there kiddos.
