Came across this on my travels.

Thanks for the enjoyable read, it does in fact underline a lot of what I've been championing on here with regard to the fashionable side of the Ivy League style.

I wonder though -- a lot of guys from Johnny Interweb who posted here and there about there experiences in America with this style and fucked off for places more real (off the net presumably) left a lot of good info. and I always wonder when I read one of these articles, how much of it wasn't cribbed from that. Perhaps I've become cynical, but given my experience with bloggery, that particular reminds me of young students copying articles out of the 'cyclopedia.
Interesting read, a style that won't go away, just hides for a while and then comes back. Though these days seems to be a mix of Preppy.....Ivy....Americana, all in the melting pot. Though thinking about it, thats pretty much a refelection of stuff that gets talked about on this forum at times.
One of our favorite chums seems to have lifted a few "clippings" originally posted here for 'is blog. So much for credit where credit due. I though ol' Will the Shill was bad...
