Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
Even today male models in catalogues are very skinny, even in Brooks Brothers. However if you consider the camera adds weight, then the chap above must have been particularly thin. I suggest you UKers visit the US and see the opposite of thin on the populace...

Rare is the shirt indeed that has them all!
Also noted the London Fog coat is in 100% cotton. Never seen on of those.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
I love the idea of 'Sir Wembley'. An aristocrat amongst suburbs.
Similar notions are seen with shoe names. You can buy a shoe called the Croydon for example.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
Why not wear Wembley loafers with your Sir Wembley tie ?

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
When melancholy Autumn comes to Wembley
And electric trains are lighted after tea
The poplars near the stadium are trembly
With their tap and tap and whispering to me,
Like the sound of little breakers
Spreading out along the surf-line
When the estuary's filling
With the sea.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
^ I'm hoping that my lot will be at Wembley on 22nd May - don't think I shall be wearing a tie. But I suppose it could double up as a noose though if things go wrong!

This IMO was always the most brilliant thread of all and I wish someone would add to it.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
Interesting how nasty some of it looks when you begin to explore. All those nasty artificial fibres. I can't help thinking that, with brands like John Smedley available, we're practically and aesthetically a lot better off. I don't find Brooks, Press or Paul Stuart too exciting nowadays, but better those than Puritan orlon acrylic.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
I'm also wondering if anyone knows enough - Quay perhaps - to explore Ivy before, say, 1941-53: that is, Pearl Harbor to the Korean War: pre-Dacron democratisation? I'm not sure about the necessity of going right back to the Brooks-Lincoln connection; but the wearing of Anglo-influenced clothing amongst young men of Joseph Kennedy's generation might be a subject of real interest.
