Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Does anyone have a link to this Ivy Hitman. I can't turn it up. Him up.
Otter : Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon : I thought you were pre-med.
Otter : What's the difference?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Looks beautiful... Definitely 70s or 80s, just from the styling. Post a pic to the ILSFT thread when you have it in hand, I'd love to see it not all assed up with the lapels buttoned up...

70's. I think (correct me if I am wrong) that Brooks rolled the Boy's and University departments into the Brooksgate department in the early 70's. The width of the lapels are also a clue.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
It looks loads better without the top button done up. The lapels aren't too narrow.
some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Yesterday I received a vintage Brooks Brothers tan poplin wash and wear suit in immaculate condition, a made in the USA, half-lined, 3/2 patch sack beauty.
Jacket fits perfectly, no alterations required, and the trousers need only to be taken up about a half-inch.
Very psyched about this one kids, it's right on time for the hot weather, which is what it was designed for, and though I don't have any pictures of it at the moment, rest assured it is an Ivy wonder and will be worn emblematically for years to come unless I get fat. Which I won't allow to happen mainly because I want to wear my new suit, not because of any greater health concerns.
