today: blue/ white rugby top, blue/ white stripe OCBD, white T- shirt, LL Bean khakis, burgundy weejuns, Colani reefer jacket...

last night absolutely non- Ivy: ice blue turtleneck, ochre (sp ?) Pierre Cardin- style zip- up jacket with lots of zip pockets, extremely slim waisted and flared skirting, wide suede belt; bedford cord hipsters, slightly kick out, purple socks, basket weave chisel toe gibsons, and a huge 70s vintage spaceman watch...

the space commander look!

Cheers Horace for your comment about my European-spin, it was actually what I aimed to obtain!

AQG, you look really cool in that pic; moreover, it's an excellent example of appropriate use of color for business attire imo.

Yesterday took a detour from the ivy observance, it was a blue with sky blue pinstripe double breasted suit (6/3, covered buttons, very long side vents), purple shirt with white contrasting collar and french cuffs, vintage tie with 'a pastilles' pattern, purple Gallo socks and black 60s NOS chiseled Italian laceups.
Today it's again the PoW number with white shirt (pinned collar), black slim knit tie, white 'presidential' hanky, charcoal Pantherellas and black tasselweejuns (if they're good enough for black tie..;-)

yeah, that's a fantastic look, B.O.O.  Reminds me of Richie Tenenbaum.  And the pipe is pure class.

Seems like a cord jacket frenzy hit the FNB Ivy Community these days..:-)
For me it's cord 3 button sportscoat, white shirt (pinned collar), tartan silky slim tie (square bottom), brown trousers, dark brown socks, biscuit suede almond toe Italian slipons.
A short tan raincoat, a bit worn out but I like it..

Yesterday for a rideout: black leather zip-up jacket (waist lenght, mandarin collar), ochre turtleneck, off white levi's Staprest, lilac/purple horizontal striped Gallo socks, pale blue suede driving mocassins Sabelt.
Driving gloves, Davida helmet, Baruffaldi vintage goggles, a paisley scarf in aviation blue/white tones.
Scooter is a pale sky blue so everything matched:-)
