Dont get me wrong im.a big fan of the untucked shirt but its got to be a decent full cut shirt otherwise it looks like you wearing dolls clothes.

I like to roll up my chinos in the summer too but I wouldn't wear cropped chinos or pedal pushers....😃

You see I don't dig that look above. Reminds of the post-coitus scenes RomComs where the girls wear the guys shirt. I don't want to look that demure... Don't think it would suit me 😜

That's disappointing to hear. I just wish they'd do another load of their original batch of popovers. I've got one but quite fancy another to cut down into a short sleeve but not if they're going to change the sizing and collar for the worse.

Looks like they are packing in the ivy stuff and are heading in a new direction. They've reduced their remaining stock and are planning to reappear in the winter. I was gonna get a popovers and cut into a short sleeve but have decided against it for now.

Very sorry to hear this too. It's odd, as it seemed (admittedly from their own emails) that their Ivy-inspired products had been flying off the shelves. I wonder what made them decide to take a new route.

I wonder what will become of their chino project as well...

There is that...and then there is the fact you could have had quite a loyal smaller clientele with a kosher product, or what might be two years worth of being on trend and then see the sales bomb when people move on from wanting your product ...well there are two ways to do it admittedly, neither is right or wrong just depends what your objectives are.

I found this mail from LG in my inbox:

Hello, we've got some news for you!

The bad news:

We’re closing down for a couple of months.

The good news:

We will be back, but with a changed product line & redefined concept. So if you liked the IVY-style version LEAN GARMENTS, you might want to make your final purchase.


Everything -30% and it lasts for the next 2 weeks – then the site closes. We need some more capital for funding our production. Take advantage of it.

The Ivy styled stuff sold quick on the short runs,
but they sold their spread collar shirts and chinos out even faster
(I also got the impression that they lost a lot of money on their Japanese made sweatshirts ).

I got a second bizarre e-mail about how they are going away but will return, and please buy the remaining stock.  They promise European manufacture and higher prices but admit that they may take a while to get their act together.

Indeed. Pitti seems more like a caricature of Italian style (if one was to call that 'Italian style', in the first place). I should probably get to buying a couple of popovers and a navy poplin soon before I regret having to go to Uniqlo for that.
