Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Black Florsheim smooths would probably work. I'm not sure about longwings with a 3 piece.
Hope the trousers are ok.

3.25" should do it so the repp would do the job.
Although O'Connell's have some nice foulards which are 3.5".

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Actually with shipping and probable customs, those O'Connell's would be pretty damn expensive for us UK residents. Perhaps someone over here makes something similar.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Thanks, BB. Very cool shirt, the flap pocket is such a nice detail. Is the collar unlined?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
^ You planning to wear that with a tie? Maybe a knit or fuzzyish wool tie, with tweed jacket.
Tattersalls and checks are one area where I think a point or spread collar is preferable if planning to wear with a tie. With a buttondown collar it looks too much like "Oh, I need a tie to get in this restaurant?"
I love those old LL Bean shirts. Even the part-poly ones. I just got one, a far more robust plaid.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Excellent all! AC, I have almost that exact same shirt, and the collar is beautiful. The LL Bean collars from that period are big, tall collars, but not flashy at all. I agree with Patrick, a thicker tie would look excellent - think the dark knitted tie/tattersall/corduroy thing Robert Redford has going on it All The President's Men... I do think that these Bean shirts look their best under a sweater or alone with the sleeves rolled partway up...
The pic in Tim's post shows the collar in action pretty well... Beautiful shirts, the both of you...

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
The postage cost was around $30 I think. In my experience $20 - $30 is a pretty common cost for shipping bigger items like jackets from the states to Sweden. It's still expensive but I've seen some sellers charging about $60 which is just absurd...
