Mighty Fine work here, Big Tony.
Thanks -
If you look at the bottom right corner of this ad, it appears that the House of Worsted-Tex (strange name) had 'Ivy League' copywritten.
Strange.
This really is your thread, mate.
Superlative work.
^That last Euro guy is clearly the grandfather of the some of the people on HCWDB. He's even orange.
Also, I didn't realize that anyone wore those huge ugly sunglasses that are currently in vogue back then. I thought they were the creation of c. 2004 or so.

I know Jackie Kennedy used to wear them, so I guess it does make sense they would've caught on before. With women. Not men.

Bump!
Just to keep it on page one & in everybody's face!
Best -
Yes, this is still one of the best thrads here... Still haven't figured myself how to check the Sports Illustrated archives, though...
Of course, weejuns/ penny loafers have not disappeared, but the problem is that "style advisers" at least in Europe will tell you that it's an 80s "college style" thing and that it's passe or that it was a fauy-pas to wear them with suits. In Germany penny loafers are always referred to as "college slippers"....

"Somebody's mother" in that last photo could give me an oedipal complex.
These for some reason would not post.

I just like the way the guy with the bow tie looks. He pulls it off.

Jackpot! Part of an archive featuring photos by Nick DeWolf. Nick DeWolf is not a name I know, but a google search yields this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_DeWolf so those of you familiar with MIT might know the name. Anyway I'm not sure if these people are WASPs or Brahmins or whatever and I'll leave that to the semanticists. They look damn cool.
