Did you mean these Horace?
Have a great new year you all Gentlemen!

Fantastic stuff!
Many thanks D. & a very Happy New Year to you.

Dreja & then Clapton are nearest the camera.
The shop on Shaftsbury Avenue was Austins. Clapton introduced Dreja to the place I think and both looked mighty fine as a result.
Eric really spearheaded the whole Austins Ivy Modernist look in my book. Opened it all up & made it much more popular. Charlie Watts of the Stones got there before Eric however.
'Five Live Yardbirds' has Mr. Clapton in a great pale/mid-grey Ivy suit on the cover looking cool as... (you know).
Mr. Chris H. is the expert on all this & even has a personal connection to the Five Live Yardbirds cover.

Eric's in the middle.
I should be kicked for forgetting to mention Mr. Fame...
Time rolls on & I think his importance grows -
He got on the right track (baby) before so many others.
Thank you Terry and Chris, for remembering so much!
There appears to be a lot of words and images out there.
We just need to find them.
I can't begin to describe how exciting this stuff is!
Ivy for everyone!
Style for everyone!
That's the stuff!
Nice quote Tony - Thanks.
Also -- I should note that Miles Davis's original Ivy haberdasher (not only a purveyor of the then hip look but an Andover man himself, pre-WWII) contradicts everything that Dopey has posted in reply to Terry's brother (?), Mr. Larry Lean, on the SF thread, but why bother....or, as the kids now say, meh...
Quick addendum before more tomorrow: I just got Blue Note Coltrane and JJ Johnson. ALso got the Mulligan & Baker sessions on CD. And the new Miles 4 disc Prestige recordings that came out last year. Great stuff.
Darn that Dream....
Old Oldham's book is worth a look.
Mine's on loan but it's called Stoned or Smashed or somesuch.
Oldham knocked around with Pete Meaden for a bit...
Poor Pete. A Mod not a Modernist, but did any other religion ever have such a mad monk?
God rest his pilled-up soul.
