I'd prefer horn buttons; otherwise - handsome.

Re: Stanley Blacker at Cecil Gee
Great pic Staceyboy. This represents my fave "Ivy" style look.
Interesting to note that it's a maturer model being used. Wonder how that related with the "youthful" mod ideal of the time when we think of "Ivy's" influence on that style.
Wish Cecil Gee was stocking that stuff back in the 70's, or then again I would have walked straight past it, called it old fashioned and plumped for the sidepocket, brushed denim Brutus jeans!!!

Re: Stanley Blacker at Cecil Gee
Kids lucky enough to rub (natural) shoulders with an older, more affluent group of guys? The fabled go-getting young execs - those perhaps having even been to New York on business? David Putnam was on the radio the other day describing his formative years in such a way. Those working in advertising or the entertainment industry? The stylish metropolitan homosexual milieu? Many a young nose must have regularly pressed longingly against the windows of Austin's and Cecil Gee of a weekend.

Growing up in the sixties with 3 older, clothes mad brothers. They wouldn't have looked twice at that ad. It was aimed at older men of course. My Dad might have fancied that blazer, but unless you were a bit of an 'young fogey', you really wouldn't have been at all interested.
The sixties was the time you broke away from dressing like your ould fella and found your own identity man!

I like Alfie! Though I can see why you say self-indulgent in a broader London sense.....what movies do you rate from then??

Ponyboy. You don't take out full page ads to appeal to a 'tiny minority'. Hoping you will sell a dozen jackets to the cognoscenti. This ad was aimed at a huge market of affluent, professional older men.

Perhaps for some, like Miles before them, and to borrow from Huey Lewis and the News, It was hip to "look" square?
