working in the yard todays hot so just work boots with white cotton socks and old cargo shorts - no shirt to hot, after i shower later will wear patch madras shorts and old brooks white oxford cloth and black weejuns

^ Sharp!

Ummmm... Pat?

If you check the 'Help Desk' thread you'll see that we're all up to all sorts of stuff at the moment...

I'd love you to be a part of it all, especially with your background pre-Space Camp.

The idea is to lift all this up above the MBs & forums and create a space for fans of Classic Traditional American style like US.

It will be like nothing on this subject on the Internet so far since '04. No egos & no internet MB 'personalities'. The style itself will be the star.

PM or email as you choose.

No BS here. I love all this & I want to gather all the true fans of OUR style together. The fans will then run the dedicated, stand-alone, Classic Traditional American Style site based on their own enthusiasms alone.

Brothers beneath the Button-down.

I also need to talk to a load of other chaps (In no order) - Longwing, Bulldog, Tintin, Alden Pyle, East Village Trad, and on & on & on... We all know the list...

Can those interested in all this also talk to their friends too please?

Time is against me all the time just now.

All that I'm currently talking about IS happening. Make it yours too.

Trad & Talk Ivy will carry on along with all our blogs. This next move is to add more to what we are doing in a different format. It's the next level. Phase Three.

mine today, no meetings, just working on some s''t at my office / study so going casual (as mostly):

a navy/red/yellow/off-white madras(esque) check 3 bd (gant), beige sta-prest-esque trousers (off high street), black belt, red socks (falke), plain black lace-ups (barker), red g 9, rather overgrown (seventies / smoothie-like) barnet, already awaiting my babrber appointment on the 16th, about to have it cut into the college boy style.

tomorrow's a meeting day w/ a client so will go less casual, not full suited and booted though as it's not expected  the business i work in. still thinking about tomorrows threads.

today:

Band of Outsiders pale blue with navy/white stripe OCBD
Unis NYC slim fitting khakis with 2" cuff, cut slightly highwater (about 1" above no break)
Jcrew red socks
Paul Smith red-burgundy tassel loafer


needles to say, my interest in 'ivy' style is made of modern brands (fit me better) rather than vintage or "classic" companies still in business (tend to not fit me at all without major alteration)

^ Alive & Kicking, Arthur!
