What Is The Single Most Significant Ivy Item?
The button-down? - surely not
The penny loafer - getting warmer...
How about - the soft-shouldered jacket with patch pockets? - I like that.
A Madras shirt? - not bad, not bad at all...
A Madras or seersucker jacket?
Suggestions on a postcard, please...

^ Yes. Brooks. Troy Guild? One or two of my USA-made Baggies have a decent roll. Compare those three prime examples with - what? Well, so many others who simply bang it on as a 'got to have it' detail.

Re: What Is The Single Most Significant Ivy Item?
For me it’s the collar roll.
Speaking as someone who doesn’t shop online, and has never been to JS, most of the other stuff can be found fairly easily. With patience and luck.
A lot of it is worn by folks who have no concept of Ivy. A harrington, loafers or blue crew neck jumper are hardly ‘secret signs’ individually are they? But put it together with a three finger collar roll and you’d do a double take.

I’ve changed my mind to shoes.
I’ll leave others to argue over which ones.
