		<title>Happy Super Bowl Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sport brings out all that is best in humanity. At least it&#8217;s supposed to.

		<title>Take 8 Ivy: Take It Or Leave It</title>

The global Ivy Trendwatch continues as a Japanese publisher has re-released &#8220;Take 8 Ivy,&#8221; photographer Teruyoshi Hayashida&#8217;s follow-up to his 1965 tome &#8220;Take Ivy.&#8221;
Sequels are rarely as good as first offerings, and while &#8220;Take Ivy&#8221; captured the last rays of twilight of the heyday of the Ivy League Look, &#8220;Take 8 Ivy&#8221; is devoted to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slim-Fit Shirts Ain&#8217;t Trad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
To those who complain that slim-fit shirts are evidence of Brooks  Brothers having lost its way, the brethren have offered them for at  least 25 years, as this late &#8217;80s catalog shows.
In general, WASPy preppy types have preferred a generous cut to their  clothing, and the sack suit got its name for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Snow willing, the dazzling ice sculptures of Dartmouth Winter Carnival are slated to be inaugurated on February 9. The winter weekend celebration was an intramural Ivy League event of local consequence before Walter Wanger decided to bring Hollywood into the act.
Wanger flunked out of Dartmouth in 1915, but achieved notoriety in the film world. Intensely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Time fo a Tradsville news roundup. First up is Rugby, which currently has buckle-back chinos on sale for forty bucks. We&#8217;ve previously written about these several times (most recently in Christopher Sharp&#8217;s piece on the h.i.s. brand, which has been largely credited with the buckle trend circa 1955), and I&#8217;ll admit to an inexplicable hankering [...]]]></description>

Hollywood&#8217;s status as an epicenter of impeccable sartorial taste is long gone, but there was at least one guest at Sunday&#8217;s Golden Globe Awards who gave a nod to the well tailored days of yore.

		<title>Brooks Brothers&#8217; Buttoned-Down Radicalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This weekend I received an email from Brooks Brothers with a surprisingly terse subject line. No long-winded winter sale announcements, such as &#8220;plus free shipping on orders over $200.&#8221; This one simply said &#8220;Be Radical.&#8221;
Was Brooks introducing a line of X-Games-inspired athleticwear? I opened the message and found that the mailer was a plug fior [...]]]></description>
