Tommy Hilfiger's 'Ivy' line
I'm not really familiar with this company and their clothes... only that they were one of the makers of 'designer jeans' etc.. pah! Which is probably why I have always avoided them.
On-line they have a range of 'Ivy' inspired clothing, mainly for women.. but, they have a Harrington style jacket and a couple of Oxford BD's!!
I like the slim cut of their BD's and that's not a bad roll on the collar, I have to say, not to sure about the 'Ivy' jacket but again I like the slim cut.. I'd much rather a slim G9 any day.... They even have an' Ivy' cricket jumper?

TH has always had an American Preppy look to it, I have bad memories of their heyday in the 90s when Hilfilger was the brand du jour of rappers
tho I bought a Hilfilger suit in the mid 90s when he used to have a tailored line, suit was very British cut with outstanding fabric and full canvassed. Not sure who made them but they were very good quality.
This UK range certainly looks better than anything I've seen in US stores.

Re: Tommy Hilfiger's 'Ivy' line
Your right... it is only available in the UK!! I didn't notice that. I don't think that the market their aiming for would remotely even know what 'Ivy' relates too..
Still it may be a starting point for some.. or not.

Like everything "Ivy" it's interesting.
Why that word in the UK & not the U.S.?

Re: Tommy Hilfiger's 'Ivy' line
My freshman (early nineties) college roommate was from Korea and absolutely obsessed with Tommy Hilfiger. He actually brought him up in conversation, saying stuff like "Tommy wouldn't like that." He also introduced me to (the music of) Chet Baker, whom he worshipped to an unnerving extent. He would sing along with the LPs, eyes tightly shut, swaying in a devotional trance--no self-consciousness about it at all.
He confessed that he had lobbied the RA to assign me to his room, because he had got ahold of the registration list and thought my name sounded "WASPy."
One of the funniest, weirdest, coolest guys I've met. Smart as a demon, too. Wonder if he still wears Tommy.

What does BB command for their OCBDs in the UK? At the equivalent of US$120 each, is Hilfiger more expensive than the real thing?

Re: Tommy Hilfiger's 'Ivy' line
One buys one's Brooks from Boston...
Kind Back Bay Lesbians will do this for you if you are lovely.
Other than that you have to dig deep or get on a plane.
I've never bought nothing from the 2 London Brooks & don't see why I should.
Don't buy no Tommy/Ralphie neither. Again, why do it?
For Press (if Press does Press) I'll spend money.
O'Connell's interests more... But J.Simons is always first port of call for Ivy in England.
Does my fellow Anglo-Ivy enthusiast Bell-Drier shop at Mr. Simons? Or is the train fare from Yorkshire to London a problem for him?
I hope he stays in Yorkshire personally.
I can't see him being a hit on Russell Street...
... Insert your own joke about him being more likely to get hit on Russell Street instead here...
I get tired in the afternoons these days.
