Re: The English Element In The Ivy League Style -
... The Baracuta G9!
An English jacket, but we buy it in the UK for its American connections.
It is transfigured by Ivy into being 'other' and so we love it.
Although Ivy is shot through with Anglo style it's only when our homegrown style is transformed by association with America that English Ivy League fans love it.
If the English element of Ivy style hasn't been transfigured by the US then it's boring to us. Peal is a big yawn.
A Shetland is a Shetland, but when it's an Ivy Shetland it has value to us. When it's just something ordinary - Who cares?

You know what they say about blind prostitutes: You've really got to hand it to them.

ahem.
Jim, would Chelsea boots qualify?
I love that 60s thing with the slightly too-short pants cut trim and worn with Chelsea boots--the Star Trek episode that AQG's avatar is taken from has Kirk and Spock looking terrific in Ivy style, sporting this trouser and boot combination.

^ From the other "fora" it seems the Brethren brought over their most boring clothes and then over-priced them. Doesn't seem like rocket science: bring the sack suits and cordo shoes, NOT the darted two button suits and Peal shoes (which you can get anywhere and everywhere in the UK).

James Lock does not make hats, it sells own branded hats made by companies such as Olney and Lawrence & Foster. You can buy the same hats much cheaper from other retailers.
Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: The English Element In The Ivy League Style -
The name is owned by brooks bros but C&J make most of the shoes
The Northampton Connection - Crockett and Jones 1879
The Peal and Co. shoes are made in England exclusively for Brooks Brothers. But made by whom? Our new friends at Crockett and Jones, the renowned Northampton, England shoemakers, confirmed that make the "majority of the Peal & Co. collection".

Youtube video of a Peal & Co film
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSh5g0nz5rk
Brooks bought the Peal & Co name.
My understanding is that as well as C&J Brooks have used other Northampton makers to make Peal & Co from time to time

Lots of good stuff to be enjoyed here. Fill in the (admittedly annoying) blanks.
