Re: The Ivy Book
I am, however, willing to make purchases for those American chaps who would like it sooner. You only have to PM and we can make the arrangements.

Authors mop brows... It's going to be a knock-out...

Re: The Ivy Book
Just got the 'Look Inside' to work.
Picture of a Creighton shirt in there. Made in NY. I had heard they were manufactured in The South. It had the third button and locker loop. My Ivy Shop, permanent press one had neither.

Re: The Ivy Book
There is an interesting YouTube video on its contents - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24nWCa7iGBw.
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 Ivy Book
^ Different book Bishop. It is 'The Ivy Look' they are discussing.

Re: The Ivy Book
^ No only that one. The label has come off the other one that is still in the wardrobe. I'll never see 15.5 again, but sentimental value.

Re: The Ivy Book
Yes, I'm now 16.5. It's the waistline that worries me more.

Re: The Ivy Book
I have the book. On the table in front of me as I type. And, gentlemen all, it has been - and is - worth waiting for.

Re: The Ivy Book
That Golden Vee on page 66 brings back some memories. I had one from an American woman a few years back. She went round buying up old stock around her area of Pennsylvania.

I've read it twice... devoured it... it's set me off on the old trail once more... Where's that deadstock Golden Vee?

Re: The Ivy Book
I honestly don't think Graham and John could have packed any more in for a book of its (handy pocket) size. Even 'Talk Ivy' gets a mention. The quality of the illustrations is superb, including many vintage clothing adverts I've never come across before, and a truly magnificent shot of JFK looking cool in sunglasses and a Shetland sweater. Nice photograph of J.Simons, showing a tidy-looking window, plus references that sent me scurrying to find out more, much more. Steve McQueen and Bill Evans devotees will not be disappointed, nor a Tony Perkins addict like myself.
Five stars for passion*****

Re: The Ivy Book
Just wondering if it is already available from somewhere or did you get your copy from an inside source? I am very impatiently waiting for the book......

From JG, Fred. It's worth waiting for and I have another copy on pre-order from Amazon.

Re: The Ivy Book
Thrilled you've been enjoying it RR&P! Graham and I fretted enormously over what went and in and what was left out. It is far from comprehensive but hopefully it reflects our passion for the clothes. If it sells well we may try and pitch for another book. We've spoken about maybe doing a deluxe coffee book version of The Ivy Look, but we'll have to see.

Re: The Ivy Book
Could a pair of American authors have written this book? You'll all be able to judge for yourselves.

Re: The Ivy Book
I expect one of the authors to make another appearance on Robert Elms' Radio London show.
Haven't listened for a while. I mostly like the bus route trivia.
