Not sure if it qualifies as Ivy exactly but I found a nice short-sleeved NOS Towncraft plaid shirt the other day. It was still carded and pinned. Double chest pockets, button-down. Guessing 1970s vintage from the label and the extreme yellowing of the cardboard.
Found it tucked away deep inside one of the local antique shops. $10. Not sure if that was paying too much, but it will make a nice summer shirt.
There were actually two there but the XL was huge on me.

Meh, I know, not very exciting. Meh.
Put a photo up and we can decide for ourselves just how exciting (or meh) it is.
Good score, Yuca. You can wear that plaid with almost everything. Enjoy!
Lovely makers Yuca, i wish there were one in my size available.
/\ that's a very stylish beauty of a short sleeve buttondown shirt Yuca, wear it in good health!
just snagged a blue/white narrow block striped BB Makers broadcloth ls bd and it's very nice, pics to come upon acceptance by me ...... but it's gonna be a winner .......
also late breaking news reports have it that I just bought a pair of minty USA Bass Weejuns penny loafers in burgundy, with beef which divagates from my usual path but they were too good not to obtain ... I don't have beef with beef especially for the nice price ......
pics to come, today's blind feeding frenzy was occasioned by Yuca nabbing one more Makers, I felt I had to spring into action ... usually it's Ollie who acts as a bad/good influence on me but this time it was the bongo man himself ......
Glad to have inspired you.
I could swear that's you in the pics, Tom. I recognize those hands anywhere....
Cool jacket. And Yuca's Makersing me crazy!!
To be fair, he has a similar skin tone, so I can understand your thinking WM.
AC is currently having palpitations...
I do like that summer Sack Jacket you just got though?
Did that Paisley Kaftan originate in the Indian wedding circuit Tom ?
Snice Quoddynesh Tommy.
With that neck line it certainly has an Indian vibe. Not worn it yet as in the wash. It'll raise a few eyebrows if people stay over hahaha.
I doubt I'll be posting shots of myself in this over on the ILSFT thread whilst I sip an espresso and listen to some Sunday jazz but stay tuned just in case....

I think it's from the Ravi Shankar Signature Series line.
hey Bop, you know who would have worn the hell out of that kaftan/nightshirt circa 1968-69?
I think you know.
