Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Dexter......king of loafers, I love that pinking.
I prefer 'em to Weejuns anytime.
Well played AC, it's always good to have a few spare NOS pairs knocking around.....helps one sleep at night I find.

Do those say 666 inside? My 'Imperals are numbered the same in the same place?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Thanks boys, i am an extra wide, a US 11 EE or EEE.
I have been lucky over the years to have found a few pairs of Nos Dexter loafers and i agree with Woof.....They are far superior to Weejuns.

Way to go AC. I know it's not hard fitting your hamfoot into decent sandals.

Interesting, a sack with slant pockets. That striped green herringbone looks fantastic.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Is it just me or are the sleeves on the Stanley Blacker angled as well?
Wondering how that's going to work out... I have a feeling that one might end up getting returned.

Thanks Wooly!
Comes with a bit of a history lesson for me. I'd never heard of the King's Highway; sort of the Ivy League Spice Route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Highway_%28Charleston_to_Boston%29

Is that the Brooks store in NY? It sure looks like it.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Hope I don't make anyone angry by posting this with *old* ivy finds, but I came across something that might be of interest to folks here and I didn't feel it was worth a new thread or bumping an ancient one....
Yesterday, I got a high-end catalog in the mail I've never heard of - maus & hoffman - and i see they offer a made in USA version of the G9 harrington jacket (for $325):
https://www.mausandhoffman.com/p_19398RRJ+54+M1.aspx
They call it a "Cruiser Poplin Jacket", but it has all the exact details of a traditional G9. I found this interesting because I have never seen a modern made-in-USA harringtons before. This company has an interesting assortment of very expensive clothes.

Interesting. Looks pretty good. I wish they had some better pictures of it.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Here's an XXL on ebay with pictures. Looks like this one's made in Scotland.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
I have a tweed sack from circa 1950 with slanted pockets. All other details are standard ivy, except it had 3 on the cuff when I got it. (It now has 2 on the cuff but I regret it.) I've been promising a photo for years but it will happen.
some sort of banal legitimacy
