So nice to see Linett get a mention on that 'Ivy Style' blog today. Along with Halrin we all wore Linett from John Simons with our Troys & Seros, our Walkovers & Buffalo Creek Traders, Sebgo, Bass & Eastland.
Royce socks, Russell Athletic Sweats, Duck Head chinos & Polos, FOTL T.s ...
Today this all sounds like a shopping list from Atlantis.
such fond memories of Kenny combining dickies with clarky deserts, the boys all wearing the RA sweats, combined with polos. The halrin chino nipple stalkers came with a warning sign 'wearing these chinos could lead to little attention from the opposite sex'. Linett were the finest jackets. I'm yet to find a comparison. I like the new shop, but the 80's RS shop really had it in terms of great brands. I still miss it terribly.
A few items on Ebay Com. still for those who remain interested. Nothing much of Halrin, I don't think.
How did the Russell Street chaps manage the RA/polo combination in tolerable comfort?
As we see, even in the Jimmy Frosty period, threads often gained little traction.
