Re: Chipp and Brooks battle the late 60's
I view the BB devotee as more monolithic in its style, the typical Chipp customer more individualistic. Chipp was like a small, wonderful club, perhaps "chipps" off the old BB block.

Re: Chipp and Brooks battle the late 60's
I really don't think Chipp and Brooks battled each other---Perhaps it was just a friendly rivalry. It was not merely coincidental that Chipp, Press, Brooks, Triplers, and Paul Stuart were all in close proximity to one another. Each store had their own nuanced differences, and their customers gravitated to those differences. It was rather glorious, a community of traditionalists all living side-by-side in Ivy League harmony.

Re: Chipp and Brooks battle the late 60's
This thread should be on the other forum as it's more relevant to the the iVy Gents on there.
Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Chipp and Brooks battle the late 60's
Going back to the original post, I can hardly regard the second half of the '60s as being "horrendous" sartorially, outside of the hippie/youth culture. Most of America was still a very conservative place, sartorially and otherwise. The "horrendous" stuff only gained general currency in the '70s.
