'Ivy' is only the mass marketing name for the style.
History backs me up.

Sure!
My point was that the term "novelty" is often used pejoratively...
And was the invention of the Brooks #1 sack in 1917 (?) really so unusual. After all there were sack suits sold at Brooks at least about 20 years earlier.
And it had its roots in Europe in the early Victorian age. A humble "workwear" garment that had become the new business look by the turn of the century.
A modern American design with a history in traditional European clothing.
See the Syllabus on Hardy Amies "The Englishman's Suit"....

Another timely reminder. JFM was never backward at coming forwards in this respect - and rightly so.
