Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
Preppie is clearly the marketing of an idealised, frivolous and yet thoroughly wholesome vision of youth.
If you compare to adverts from the boom period for Ivy, there's a maturity in the image being sold.

I prefer my sons dressing in their version of Ivy than in styles based on the disco era.

Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
This is true, but we must also remember that the young were not the majority of the market for 'Ivy'.

Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
I think that when others start with the silly talk it's good for the soul for you to roll your tanks back over their borders in return. Plus it's a laugh. Plus when you're right they don't half look daft.

Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
Geezer Ivy is the way to go. Confident, upbeat, sharp.
Entertainment industry rather than college inspired - but not hung up on jazz.
Nothing carved in stone either; or else it becomes a uniform. Your ties do not have to be striped and you can wear any watch you fancy.

Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
I like this look. Muchly.
A nice absence of all the 'Ponce Ivy' I keep seeing.

Re: Ivy and Prep - Diametrically opposed.
^ There are skinhead roots.
It is more 'dress to impress' - fluid, without being a stickler for any tradition. Definitely not crumpled though.
Definitely not a uniform either. You would want to be ahead of the game.

Anyone using the term geezer may as well just use the word, hoho.

'Sunday Best' and 'Best bib and tucker' is in the mix too.
