First item I spot on Oi Polloi is a Columbia field creek big horn gilet in khaki. This is type of thing is an absolute favourite of many of the Spoons crowd. They seem to like the multiple pocket options.

Re: IVY AS IT STANDS...
I'm a big fan of what Jake's is doing here in the UK but I'm concerned for the long term viability of his project. Last time I was in his workshop in March he was packing up and ready to move from Silvertown but i haven't heard any news. Someone posted on Ivy Style that they had just received a shirt from him so he is still producing shirts. I hope he makes a go of his expansion plans.

I had something pop up on FB from that DNAGroove Guy,(dnagroove.it), he has a few photos of a new 3/2 Ivy jacket he's producing, looks ok, dart-less, 3 patch pockets, but I'm not sure the hook vent works that well, maybe it's too long, price-wise 270-300 euros,

Re: IVY AS IT STANDS...
Ivy jackets is an area where I wish there were few more options.
Yes, there are loads of soft shouldered jackets currently out there but I like swelled edges, patch and flap pockets and a hook vent.
The absence of darts I can take or leave.

Re: IVY AS IT STANDS...
Wore a J.Press blazer for the first time in ages on Tuesday, it did look good, but it still felt a bit out of style and old fashioned.
Don't think I'll be buying any more blazers or sports jackets anytime soon.
Rocking a madras and plaid shirt vibe of late. Also a bit of preppy RL 80s style. Like Magnum P.I. when not wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Plenty of good madras out there. Well catered for.
Feel we need a tonic against the nihilism of our times. There's a darkness out there. Think many people sense it. The boomers lived through a golden age and we're about to throw it all away for an austere puritanism. Don't want to be any part of it.
