One of the great things about Ivy style for me is that it endures as its own thing, sometimes closer to the prevailing trends, sometimes not.  When I found it, that was it - it's also quite flexible to different situations and times of life.

Interesting - I was raised to aspire to consistency, reliability, stability etc. I find, for the reasons above, Ivy does a great job of communicating these traits. My current girlfriend met me while I was wearing a Southwick tweed, and told me I seem very stable and moderate. Considering we'd only just met , I assume the jacket was doing the talking more than I was.

Anyhow, those of you who have gotten to know me, know that I enjoy flaunting the rules as much as I do following them. Still, Ivy is always there when I need to convey my better traits.

I agree he could be up there with the other Ivy-style icons. I admire the simplicity of his approach. The only slight knock I'll give him is that he seems to wear the 2-button darted jacket exclusively these days. Although, I've read in a couple places (can't remember exactly where atm, it will come back to me) that Ivy Leaguers would drop the sack for the more modern 2 button jacket, and the repp stripes for the foulards, when they entered the workforce. Meuller is another example of that. Good on him for keeping the Ivy flame alive.

For me this is one of the main appeals of Ivy, the fact that you can wear the same clothes all your life without worrying that they'll go out of fashion or be inappropriate for your age.

It's a good one. Even worth faffing around with the quote function for.

^ Seconded.
