You do produce the most remarkable things from your attic, Jim.  You don't keep John Simons locked up there, do you?

Aside from your attic, I imagine most vintage Bean stuff would have fallen apart years ago. It seems to be a brand, whose gear invites heavy daily use, not the sort of stuff one treats as museum pieces. That is a good thing I think.

A cheap and cheerful workhorse brand, one of my father's favourites from way back.  He gave me a couple of shirts.  Polyester.  Nasty stuff, polyester.  Sensibly priced denim, though. 
Hardly 'Trad' I wouldn't have thought.  Nor Ivy.  About on a par with Orvis. 

My old Dad's about as 'Trad' as a pair of Studio 54 faggots.

Low key.  You're the man for me!

Just Jim and justeveryone else- I have a shortsleeve ocbd  flap pocket tattersall  from LL from before the wrinkle free era.
their ocbd were available w/Press like pocket-a feature sadly dropped.
I do have a pair of Bean  grey flannels -once a staple in their catalog not often seen  now.- I remember ordering a pair of  tan poplins from an ad in the New yorker c 1979  I think they were under 10$ and at that same time a red university stripe (or candy stripe) w/flap-does 15 or 16 $sound right ? in that pre 1980 world . not Brooks but still quite substantial. Brooks would have been about 25 to 30 then.
