Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
I have a number like it but intriguing to see one listed in UK at such a decent starting price. Essentially, it is 'the jacket'. I'm a size up or would of bought it anyway.

Has anyone looked at those cordo Kenmoor at £35? They'd certainly need some extensive repair work but might make for a decent long-term investment.

Boom year manufacturer Higgins was still using Ivy as a make on one of their models deep into the synthetic 70's. And with pleats yet.

A nice Golden Bear jacket on offer at £35 plus postage (UK seller on Ebay). Made for someone with rather a barrel chest, though. 2XB sizing.

Bargain black wingtips, size 8. Search 'Made In USA - Aristocrat'. Seller is in error. Should be 'Aristocraft'.

I got a pair of Alden 9901 Blucher's for £70 as the seller listed them as Aldon Boots.

Alden chukka boots with a starting bid of £550. 'New With Box'. Hmm.

I wonder if anyone posting/lurking on here bought those Quoddy. Bargain price.

Runninggeez - so that's the secret : target the dyslexic sellers. Shame Wayne from Buckhurst Hill doesn't flog any gear.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
On an old thread that has far too many blanks to be worth bumping, Frosty admitted that 'rarity' was valued across the board. I'm inclined to believe him - up to a point. I think he was speaking mainly for himself. But Ebay can sometimes provide that rarity. It's one-upmanship. A harmless vice?

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
Won't ship outside the US. Insufficient information on measurements. Will ship outside the US but your bargain purchase becomes much less of a bargain because the seller is insisting on some whacking great rate for shipping.
Just been eyeing a vintage Cricketeer plaid jacket, but the information is simply not enough to get me to buy. Might contact the seller, I suppose. Who was spot on for plaid?

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
There is a 'Wren' shirt for sale on Ebay. Once described on here as a 'Holy Grail' item, its first bid has gone on: £15. So, some of you may be onto it already. It's sized as an XL, my own fitting, but I would never wear it. Be too concerned about seeing it damaged.

I'd be genuinely interested to know if anyone picks up on/rates this.

Never heard of Wren and I can't find anything on Ebay.com or .co.uk.

Check Ivy League/Mod - the usual search terms. Ebay here in the UK.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
I found the Wren. It's a nice, bold check. Collar roll looks ok but not up to vintage Brooks level. I suspect it's a blend although it's listed as cotton. It looks close to the UK mod/skin shirts that later became part of the uniform, and I suspect that is why it's a holy grail for some.
But personally I wouldn't swap it for one of my Makers or Mercers. They're more subtle and classier.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
^ Interesting you should say that about the possibility of it being a blend. That would more or less be the norm, wouldn't it?

Be interesting to see what it finally goes for. Maybe around the same as I paid for a pair of bleeding Madras around 2010.

In the 1960s, I suspect so.
