Re: Surf Ivy/ The west coast look
I wish I were on a beach today.
Actually, this town is turning into a beach. Hot! I figured out how to get to work and home without drenching my work attire in perspiration, however. (I walk about 2 miles each way.) Change of clothes! How simple. Why did I not think of it before? I wear a t-shirt, some old chinos, and my running shoes, and I pack my shirt, dress chinos, shoes, etc., in my back pack. Prevents my wearing a jacket and tie, but I gave that up about 4 weeks ago as soon as the temps started climbing out of the 70s.

Re: Surf Ivy/ The west coast look
Thats a good idea.
I was in trade school in Boston with a former Green Beret, he was an ultra-marathoner, rock climber, all that. Every morning he would run the five-ish miles from his place in Brookline to the North End with all his stuff in a secondhand baby stroller. For some reason there was a shower in the ground-floor bathroom in the school; he'd get there earlier than everyone else, shower, get dressed in his work clothes, and he'd be good to go.

Re: Surf Ivy/ The west coast look
I'm looking through "Pop Surf Culture" . Some cool stuff from the chapter entitled "Surf Duds The Fashion Of Beachside California"
"Surfers wore baggy shorts for the water( Kanvas by Katin and Birdwell were favorites), or cutoff Levis, warm Pendelton shirts for hitting the cool early morning breakers. If surfers weren't in bare feet, it was either Vans deck shoes, Mexican sandals... or the thin , cheap rubber kind found at drug stores..."
" T shirts with surf board company logos were the big thing... Shirts with the name of your surf club were de riguer and they went well with a pull over Mexican poncho... classic surf wear has always featured the pull over, hooded sweater... Girls dug wearing cardigan sweaters, boys, white Levi's with a JC Penney Towncraft shirt."
" Several brands seemed to get it right in the '60s, and these included Jantzen Sportswear, Hang Ten, Catalina Swimwear... Windbreakers with matching trunks were specialties of Jantzen and Catalina; one solid color with a white or corresponding color competition stripe was perfect, cool, clean style"
(Reads like one of Stan's posts)
"McQueen's message was signaled through subtraction... in a tweed or herringbone jacket and a ribbed swearer he had an electric austerity".

Re: Surf Ivy/ The west coast look
Amazing quotes SMF! Very much like Stan's wisdom indeed. And I believe this takes us one step closer to answering the question (although again, Stan has dropped knowledge on this before) - "Are flip-flops Ivy?"

Re: Surf Ivy/ The west coast look
The real deal for sure! Vans reissued a bunch of colors of the Duke Surfers in I think 2007, lace-up and slip-on... My sneaker game was weak back then (I'm ashamed to say) but I'll be watching the 'bay from now on for an NONS (new old new stock??) pair from now on... You can see Duke and the boys are wearing them in the pic you posted earlier - I never really liked matchy-matchy as a look but man they pull it off...
