Ivy Style 3/4 Length Sleeves?

StephenD from Modculture has raised this issue. It's new to me - Any input anybody?

"A briefly popular Ivy league Style"?

Sadly the shirts make me think of the disabled...

Let me consult the archives.

This seems like one of those old clothing details that, if commandeered by a current designer, would be lauded as "modern"

I've seen plenty of women's shirts with sleeves like this, but not many men.  I think it might be cool.

Re: Ivy Style 3/4 Length Sleeves?

would be nice to see worn.  The 3/4 sleeve reminds me too much of women's shirts.

I had an agnes b 3/4 sleeve polo shirt a few years ago, but something about a polo knit didnt make it seem too out of the ordinary.  But I agree that a designer take on the 3/4 buttondown would probably get some industry interest, then a year later it will be easily available in stores like The Gap
