Cheers bb, the second pic is just a piss take really! Although I'd do the jacket jeans and mocs probably with darker plaid shirt...and a jeep cherokee


You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.

In the process of opening up a fireplace so spending most of the time in dickies work pants that are too big and being covered in dust.

Now relaxing after a few drinks in Edwin jeans, Sebago loafers, Wigwam socks, grey sweat shirt with a Pendleton board shirt on top.

Re: Ivy League style for today

selective wear and tear department: you know when you have some good items that haven't been worn much and then one day you decide to start wearing them more in order to give your favorites a rest?  I love being able to find some semi-forgotten stuff to put back into circulation .....

80F outside, putting the wear on a pair of medium-light-gray tropical worsteds, cuffed, handmade bespoke ca. mid-'90s, Brooks Makers striped tab collar broadcloth shirt, medium-tan Alden leisure handsewns, C-buckle buoys belt from Maine

wearing these clothes for today's mission now

special vintage '60s briefcase in hand and secret-agent vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses too

did a big spring cleaning this year and found a lot of interesting stuff

Re: Ivy League style for today

I've been gifted a load of old vintage american clip ons, and I'm trying to decide which to wear to the the Christmas works party....I think although I like the above look, the blackwatch with the midnight blue needle cord sports jacket is going to be the one I go for.... 👍

^Amen to that. Seriously though, top notch stuff from you today, Berk. Wigwams are a nice touch to give the rig a collegiate look. Is that croc strap on your wrist too?

Re: Ivy League style for today

most of today:

mint vtg. '60s Mavest half-lined 3/2 patch-pocket hopsack navy blazer, union-made in USA, two on the sleeve center hook vent, excellent green foulard lining with burgundy and gold medallion print

to paraphrase our old pals the Doors and Jim M., "the Mavest is the best, the Mavest is the best, get here and we'll do the rest"

the rest:

Brooks Brother Makers white ocbd, USA;
O'Connell's medium-gray tropical worsted trousers, flat-front, 1.6" cuffs, USA;
Leather Man of Essex navy cotton webbing/ribbon/leather C-buckle belt, Maine, USA;
gray Brooks Brothers merino wool socks, England; 
dark navy square-end 2¼" knit tie with thin, widely spaced kelly-green stripes, 70% wool, 15% mohair, 15% alpaca, England, '80s, from legendary local hardcore Ivy/preppy/trad shop, now defunct
medium-brown Alden leisure handsewn penny loafers, Massachusetts, USA, early '00s.

now:

nice Alpinestars graphic t-shirt, either last year or early this year, white with purple/gold/yellow, washed and softened to perfection   

thick navy cotton Incontinence pants basketball shorts with zip pockets

hard to find a nice all-cotton Incontinence pants anything these days, besides an ever-shrinking number of t-shirts .... 

started gardening barefoot and stopped myself, now trying to decide whether to put on old destroyed Chucks or to destroy a pair of Red Wings, or to just relax and leave it alone and

I'm going with chilling out and having a cup of tea
