Re: Ivy and Americana
To my eye when Ivy became an "everyman" style it was worn by the same people perhaps at the same time as the clothes discussed in this thread. It's this time period, or my idealization of it, that informs my personal style. I think others go in this direction as well. Pendleton, Classic tennis shoes, crew on crew with chinos or cords etc.
I would be remiss not to point out that Detour is a great film, and too often gets overlooked. Much like my forum ID's namesake.

Re: Ivy and Americana
Love the style of the teamsters stood behind Brando in 'On the Waterfront'. One day i'll get a 'proper' job and be able to go to work looking like that.
