Aye. Just be cautious of the shoulderline.

From The Ivy Look on J.Press: "They once use to sell a wonderful shirt with a rather controversial flap on the breast pocket and one day, who knows, they may do so once again?"
Does J.Press sell such a shirt today - Yes!
Available on-line.

There was a funny moment when their availability came and went for no very clear reason. The Ivy Look was written then.

Re: J. Press - "We don't sell Ivy League".
Another Ivy essential that J.Press has not eschewed is the knitted black tie:

Re: J. Press - "We don't sell Ivy League".
I think J. Press have a good understanding of style, most of their current items seem to be in good taste, even if they aren't all true to the original look, at least it's not all puesdo-RL like Brooks are trying to do. Just from an aesthetic point of view, I say they 'get it'. I also think their updated look is still very attractive, not my style, but still has a lovely form to it.

Oh, no, not another Press thread! Frosty at his best: judge, jury and executioner. I always pictured him strolling into these places. 'Good morning, you don't know me but...' - you soon bloody well will, matey, a la Victor Meldrew.
Jim would have been the first to laugh, bless him. He was never po-faced.

Re: J. Press - "We don't sell Ivy League".
No-one took the trouble. Doubtless the boredom quotient was too great, too alarming.
I have some of Press's vintage advertising, from 1962, hung upon my wall. The phrase 'a world of difference' springs readily to mind but it's rather like the roofer showing me some rotting laths. They were put there when Lloyd George was seeking reelection. The Press advertising comes from that 'Golden Age' before Vietnam really got going.
They even sell womens knickers now, don't they?
How Jimbo would have giggled, held his nose, danced around in circles and pointed.
I still like their Irish lambswool scarves very much.
But, whether its Press, Brooks, Ralph Lauren or Paul Stuart, it's difficult now to get excited, isn't it?

Re: J. Press - "We don't sell Ivy League".
As a matter of fact - if not necessarily of interest - I bought my very last piece of Press clothing at Chiltern Street during the summer of 2012. I can still remember JS asking Paul how much they ought to be asking for a jacket like that. About £350. Well, I was flush in those days, before needing a new roof. I regret, now, selling it on: very soft tweed, unlined, natural shoulder. But, in an odd kind of way, it was almost too good for the sedate life I now lead in this one-horse little town.
I expect a 'Talk Ivy' lurker bought it.
It was as good, if not better, than anything I've owned from Brooks.
