^ Thirded. I bet he's still doing it.
ARTHUR ?!
CAN YOU HEAR US ?!
... nobody as mentioned The Weejun yet. He used to post a fair bit on the ILSFT thread. He's probably my personal favourite along with Brownshoe and Moose on that thread.
Young Adam too? That lad treads the line between fashion and straight up Ivy very well.
^ Agreed. Lots of characters here doing it right in their own ways.
Dick Van Dyke - nice shiney suits - very Geezer.
Robert Culp in 'I Spy'.
Your man from 'The Fugitive' -always respectably dressed for a bloke on the run.
One of the best I ever met was in JS - We went down the pub with John together later. Pure quality he was and knew his music too. Chris somebody? Anybody know of him? I think he's on the cabs.
Adam is a delight. There are great pics of all of us - Me, Adam, Kenny, etc, at JS all wearing the JS Grenfell Golfer. John gave me a spare print of mine to take home!

John just snapped them in the shop for a laugh with friends. They're probably still down in the basement somewhere.
This deserves a re-run.
Best dressed? Or most interesting/eclectic?
I remain fascinated by the late Jeff G: very 'What Ivy Is All About' in 1980s/90s London - and Jeff was very 'London': the smile but also a touch of impatience: didn't suffer fools gladly. Well, Londoners can be brusque, like many folk from capital cities. Paris and Rome spring readily to mind.
John Simons - looking the business in 'that coat'.
Gary Corben AKA The Weejun always looks great
Absolutely. The Weejun was possibly the greatest stylist - or at least sharing joint honours with Mr. Gall - to grace 'Talk Ivy'. But I always thought, for some reason, that his name was Tom. Doing his stuff in Lisbon now, isn't he? He has our warmest wishes, particularly from newly-dedicated wearers of Astorflex.
A few others off the top of my head: Tom Shaw, Jason Jules, John Gall - previously mentioned, I'm sure you know. There's a guy on Instagram called Jonathon Cooke, doesn't post much but always looks great.
Peter Kinnaird. 'Our Man In LA'. Chum of JG.
