Vintage Ray Ban Shooters

It's the first day of February, the snowdrops are coming out and we've had the first day of sun this week since the start of the year. Naturally, thoughts turn to preparing for warner weather and what's more indicative of that than a great pair of classic sunglasses. I've just picked up a couple …

Levis Sta-Prest Cords

No reason for publishing this today except that it's a freezing cold Friday and corduroy and suede kind of weather. Even in the 60s it seems that decent Levis Sta-Prest cords weren't easy to find! …

Found on Ebay – Deadstock Grey Ivy Suit NWT!

Deadstock early 60s Donegal style tweed Ivy League suit with original tags! I found this extraordinary suit on ebay UK recently from a fellow Ivy fan in Norfolk. I didn't think the trousers would fit me, but I thought it was worth bidding for the jacket alone as it could be the long sought …

Lee Riders 101z 1966 Japanese Edition

Recently I've been concerned that my LVC 1955s are still massive despite being 34/34 and theoritically shrinking down to 33/31. They've shown no signs of shrinkage and consequently are a little bit Chaplinesque. It seems to be a constant issue with LVC models of different years (not to mention …

George Hamilton Boom Years Ivy Icon?

Many years ago I caught this strange gem on TV. A low budget reworking of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment set in Los Angeles starring a youthful George Hamilton. In Crime and Punishment USA (Dir Denis Sanders), I was struck by the great Ivy style of the main protaganist, Robert Cole …
