He's certainly taken bits and pieces of the ivy look.

Shamrockorangutan · 2012-01-11 01:33:57

the 4 year old brat next to him is a limey "ivy" wet dream, however

^ True. He's rounded those kids up like a beat group Child Catcher.

God, what a dreadful subject to have to return to.

Shamrockorangutan · 2012-01-11 02:45:54

Im serious, the kid is like a poster child for Talk Ivy. Saddle Shoulders (whatever the hell those are) ,desert boots, some khakis that dont fit him at all....

Staceyboy · 2012-01-11 02:47:11

I was only thinking "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Kids corralled in to an underground factory and trained to construct an endless supply of drum kits for Dave Clark only to be freed when the Beat Boom was over.

LOL! Just about. I still quite like Ebay, as it happens.

Harpo · 2012-01-11 07:01:26

Fair enough - I take that one back!

Blucher · 2012-01-11 07:02:30

LOL!

A 2009 thread that started well - Brideshead is a great guy - then veered off into bonehead territory. The look of most people around then was bloody awful. Pastel shirts with dodgy collars, massive bags with turn-ups that collected fluff and grit, minging acrylic tank-tops, stupid loafers with tassells and segs. Skinhead, suedehead, smoothie, brolly boy - all more or less cut from the same cloth. Not Ivy, ever. Those shops may have flogged it, but it was only a question of business practise: keeping up with the times. The variety of shit that was worn where I lived had to be seen to be believed.

Oh, him!

Thinking anew and aloud, this was the kind of thread that provided 'Ivy Style' with decent quality ammunition.

Prof Kelp · 2012-01-11 08:56:52

/\ do you mean supplying ammo to be able to have a go at this forum?

Chris_H · 2012-01-11 09:02:14

The guys wearing the French style were all older than the skinhead/ bonehead brigade, the only common denominator was John Simons' shops.

I suppose its inevitable that we look at our own cultures though even if there was only a hint of Ivy inlfuence after all we are in the UK (I know not everyone is).

I think that can be healthy and is what sets Brit Ivy fans apart from USA Ivy fans.

I celebrate that, which is what I think Marsh & Gaul were doing in The Ivy Look.

The point is, do you or don't you want to dress like an American?

Prof Kelp · 2012-01-11 09:50:23

/\ I'm not sure I can give you a straight yes or no to that Andy. Classic boom years Ivy stuff, yeh sure, but there is the fact I'm a Brit and I can't help factor in my Brit influences and other things like my age etc so what I end up with is an American look wardrobe to some extent but like Ivy itself was a mutation of the "English look copied by the Americans and getting it a bit wrong"* Then my wardrobe can't help but be a copy of a boom years Ivy wardrobe and getting it a bit wrong (or choosing to get it a bit wrong coz I might like that).
