Little bit of everything then, and no rules (except it must be expensive).

Quite a nice look tho'. ...
I'd ruin it with Sebagos & a 3/2 Sack and a BD and all of a sudden it wouldn't be WASPy anymore.

Are you capable of scanning the photograph?

Sadly, no.
The above quotes one pic taken from the V.F. magazine spread & used in the book 'Jocks & Nerds', I've got the mag itself up in the attic which has more pics, though what they are I can't quite recall now. The one cited above became the iconic one for the 'new' style. It has a Euro-Prep flavour, but worn by a grown-up. It kinda took the AmTrad basics & 'luxed' them up (Belgians, not Weejuns etc.).
And somehow, instead of laughing at it , it all took off in WASPland.
The power of the press!

Re: "The New WASP". Vanity Fair. May 1986.
I like the thought that Trad/Ivy/Whatever isn't a dead style, but a forgotten style.
You could always buy it if you knew where to go. The places are fewer these days, but the style never stopped exising or stopped changing and evolving. It's always been available.
Not to pick at an old scab (would I?) but Harris Trad/Orthodox Trad? Let's agree that it was HIS orthodoxy. That POV might keep everybody happy out in MB land.
I was chatting to the geezer who lives in 'The Manor' down here this morning... Sweatshirt & old Navy shorts with paint drips on them. He needed a shave too... An English Country Gentleman!
He had a bloke in doing the garden: Tattersall shirt & snuff coloured moleskins... A rural peasant!
Ain't life grand?

For some reason this reminds me of an old Harry Enfield sketch.

I find interesting the stereotype of the WASP. He/she is used in pop culture, and everyone knows who he/she is (or they are encouraged to think so).
The man in the screenshots I made, is the stereotype for most people:
Blazer, ascot, flashy hankerchief, etc.
No doubt loafers on his feet.

Cartoonish stuff, eh?
... And the Englishman who swaps Pinstripes for Tweeds every Friday at 6.30pm with his first G&T of the weekend...
