Both the plaid sports jacket and the holdall are really nice, although I'm not sure I'd want to wear one and carry the other at the same time. The holdall should be one for the Japanese reissue... …

Sometimes it's hard to remember just how ubiquitous these things were. Herb Lester sent me some links to a treasure trove of vintage campus images from the Boom Period. I'll post them as I get time, many of them need no comment but just help get that feel of the Look and how these clothes were …

This advert is from 1944 but the range of ties on display could be from 1964, 1984 or even 2014? I do like a tartan knit tie …
