Richard Press is a great guy,i like it,but..wear Ivy?
I have ever see he with shapeless two buttons blazers,not not particularly Ivy.
Nothing three buttons roll two,nothing patch pockets with flaps,nothing of nothing.
And is a Ivy icon?

I've been in this game for years, it made me an animal
It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get
Your game on track, not your wig pushed back

Seriously though I can imagine them moving away from the trends they may have continued as businessmen. Why not. Perhaps some peer pressure in the mix, most older Americans look like shit to our eyes don't they.

Do you expect your barber to have the same hairstyle as you?

Anyone remember that photo of Boyer, Press and David Mercer at the Ivy style exhibition and the only one who clearly had cool Ivy style on, was Mr Mercer?

I think for Mr Press, it is history, his history, but part of the past nonetheless.

It's like the photograph at the family wedding when those on the Spam side of the table come over all slurring of speech to tell you how much they love you.

Liam Mac · 2013-01-27 05:23:51

It is staggering that he would show up for perhaps the most important night of his professional life without a jacket.

Maybe he was hoping to get there early and borrow one from the exhibit.

4F Hepcat · 2013-01-27 05:34:57

It actually is a photograph imbued with meaning: he is hanging onto their coat tails, quite literally as he hasn't got any.

Does anybody know about Nino Corvato? According to FNB, he makes ivy.

Tie askew, the back of the collar looks like shit, yeah just a wannabe.

I have a problem with a lot of his snobbery against 'Main Street Ivy'. Mainly because I increasingly see J. Press as an also-ran themselves. Opportinists who cashed in on the Brooks look.

Once I was a huge J. Press loyalist, but then again once J. Press did Ivy. Theirs was a more exaggerated take on Ivy than Brooks. Brooks was too Anglo for me back then. I wasted much money at J. Press which I now wish I'd either spent at Brooks or in places like the Crimson Shop. Or even just at little dusty menswear shops on the road.

My early Ivy mentors couldn't figure out my J. Press obsession, thinking it a waste of money when I could have been buying less but better at Brooks like they did. To me J. Press used to scream Ivy far more than Brooks. I now know that Ivy never screams and that what I thought was uber Ivy was, in reality, just Jivy. An overblown take on the style. Ivy is subtle. Compared to the old Brooks there is something crass about J. Press.

Such has been my journey.

Today I keep reading online about how you can still get all the basics at J. Press and the reality is that you cannot. You can't even get a good natural shoulder. What you can get is what you've always been able to get from them - Marketing spin. When Brooks sold a Sheltland they sold a Shetland, they didn't sell a Shaggy Dog story.

They're still great sweaters though... Overpriced now however. Get just the same from the Andover Shop for less.

Well i for one would prefer a SD to the disgusting Brooks example i saw yesterday.
A perfectly good Shetland with their stupid sheep logo on the front left breast.
