I was in J.Crew yesterday. They have some awesome herringbone jackets. 3/2, very natural shoulders, slight darting but nothing that bothered me. Great detailing on the inside, half lined in a blue striped oxford shirting fabric with a chambray stitching covering the inside seams.

I was watching a Cary Grant movie, The Awful Truth, over the weekend. One of the characters was wearing a herringbone jacket with truly outsized herringbones. Whalebones would be nearer the mark. Looked really good. Has anyone seen anything like this recently?

Re: Autumn Ivy #8: The Herringbone Sack -
its on constant repeat in the states, a crappy low frequency chicago station turned crappy cable network picked it up. my mother is obsessed with it. columbo was the only detective nonsense i ever had time for, up until law & order. as far as that program prefer the older episodes with one dimensional, stereotypical characters. the original states attorney character was uber-ivy. had a bad lockjaw accent and dressed like some third echelon diplomat. theres another great episode where the trashball detective is setting up a hooker and she points to his longwings saying "you sure yer not a cop? you wear cop shoes. bro-gans."

Re: Autumn Ivy #8: The Herringbone Sack -
That captures something of the essence of Ivy for Anglo heads: hearing - seeing - someone in a TV programme, no matter how cheesy. All of that 'Mystery Movie' stuff began turning up on English television around 1972 - 'Columbo', 'MacMillan And Wife', 'Cool Million' etc. - and it pissed me off because they replaced kosher old movies on the Tuesday/Thursday evening schedule. We were then overrrun with them and they all lacked that cool 60s feel. The situation didn't really improve until we got 'Hill Street Blues' and 'NYPD Blue', and even they seem dated now. TV in England is mostly for nebs. I'm on the forum while my wife watches the news and the irritating gardening programmes.

Bump for a basic that is so basic it might be slightly under the radar for some of the lurkers.
I used to wear the Brooks workhorse. Then I wore the Press version. Now I wear neither.
An Ivy staple but - dress up or down?

Dress up or dress down?
Both.
It was the one jacket that ‘The Fugitive’ Richard Kimble possessed. Served him well throughout the series -when he dyed his hair, when he went to important events, or for just gadding about in. He also had a Harrington but mostly he wore the herringbone.

I only just remember that on TV. I remember 'Man In A Suitcase' much better. 'McGill'?
