i remeber seeing old mc gregor ads in the 'ivy league - the boom years' thread. also, i've got a vintage (probably) 1960's / early 70s winter coat by mc gregor.

the label was rather popular here in the eighties among the preppy/yuppie folk, who also wore lacoste, rl (later on, not to be seen here pre 1988-9), paul&shark, gant & so on .

from that period i remember a rather horrible 'preppy fashion item' by mc g, green/navy/etc tartan checked baggy, multi-pleated trousers with turnups 8cuffs to americans.) horrible.

I had some McGregor shirts before when I used to buy a lot of vintage.  They were around back when Arrow and Van Heusen were good shirtmakers.  Some other brands from the same era that were good were Sir Guy, Mr California, Penny Towncraft, etc.  Dont really know much about the company's history itself.

Never took that much notice of the label apart from the fact that the shirts usually have/had the 3B collar and backpleat etc and the full cut. Wincheaters are OK I think and so is some other stuff I suppose. There's a store here in town, but I hardly check it as McGregor is stocked at various department stores also. Anything specific people may want to know just ask and I'll have a gander. Funny that the place where you live decides in some cases what labels you'd rather not be seen in ( never owned anything from them myself ). Have to say the stuff I saw from the autumn/winter collection looked pretty decent. Just like Gant seemingly becomes more and more interesting. Could be me though....

Weren't some photos posted a year or so ago here?  I remember double flap pocket sport shirts.  A notch or two above the ol' Bean for formality.
