Japanese Ivy Books Pinterest

April 8, 2013

W. David Marx, who recently gave us his interview with “Take Ivy” author Toshiyuki Kuroso, today shared on Ivy Style’s Facebook page his Pinterest devoted to Japanese Ivy books he’s discovered. It’s another fascinating glimpse into Japan’s longstanding reverence for American natural-shouldered clothing.

Marx’s research also uncovered the photo below, from a 1965 issue of the magazine Men’s Club, depicting a guest at the Tokyo release party for book and film “Take Ivy.”

    I’d give my right arm for that madras blazer in 44R.

    Hey Mr. Jarmuth, hit O’Connell’s in Buffalo, NY. They have a huge selection of deadstock bleeding madras sportcoats and pants. Check them out at oconnellsclothing.com.

    Give a leg instead, Jeff. No sense in sacrificing for that shoulder expression if you’re gonna only have one.

    The Japanese Ivy/Trad thing–it reminds me that Ivy really is just damned cool.
