Ivy Notes S1 E4 – G. Bruce Boyer Corrects Me, A Brief History Of Abercrombie & Fitch, and The Great Alpacuna Debate
Editor’s Note: In the Facebook Group, we are treated to fantastic articles by the only purveyor we allow to advertise to the group, James Taylor of Waterhollow Tweed. He recently gave us permission to reprint two such pieces. Let’s have a smidge of retail history–the “Abercrombie & Fitch” that exists today is NOT …
Ivy Notes S1E3
I am struggling with this myself. With Gramercy. Last night a member of the FB group posted a picture of Mr. Andre here, who has, on his 12th birthday, started experimenting. With Ivy clothes. As I understand it there was a journey through sweatpants here. But now we have arrived home. I cannot say the …
Gifts If They Missed by Sarah, & A Small James Bond Rant That Is Uncalled For In The Midst Of Such A Good Piece
Editor’s Note: Why? Because (1) you asked for more Sarah and I totally agree, (2) in the event that you didn’t get everything you want, don’t celebrate Christmas, or have not received the last gift you are ever going to get, (3) a gift you don’t like or aren’t going to use makes you lie …
A Not Coincidentally Timed Profile In Minimalism – Sarah Bogart Cooney
“I don’t come here for this,” he said. Or she said. Or they said. Or just about everyone was saying when we took over the Facebook Group. So we curated. These are not the days for curation. Curation implies providence, and there is precious little providence to be had. Even issues where there is …
Anthony Kalamut Is A Funny Guy.
This is not his profile, that is coming. But I will say this. 3 year Ivy Style member (over that the FB Group) Anthony Kalamut find the interesting stuff, and starts interesting conversations. His profile is coming (my fault, I have to do the interview) but my friend Anthony Kalamut is a survivor, a …
Gleneagles, Hunter Boots, Barbour, and Food & Beverage from Member Maura McMahon
It was fun on the Ivy Style Facebook page in honor of St. Andrew’s day and celebrating the tartans and kilts from Scottish culture that have influenced Ivy styles (with dignity, honor and distinction that -our conversations realized- does not appropriate the Scots). All of that hoopla inspired me to share some big news …
Pleats, Buttons and 3 Roll 2 – From Resident Ivy Historian Marc Chevalier
EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Chevalier has posted a whole collection of these essays on the Facebook Group, as well as providing a lot of keen insight. He’s invaluable. – JB IVY STYLE AND PLEATED TROUSERS: WHY THE DISCORD? For at least as long as Ivy has been categorized as a style, it has been …
Member Review – The Maybe-Not-So-New Brooks OCBD
Editor’s Note: Jack Lee is a member of the FB group who posted this review yesterday. I will be posting other reviews as well as they come in, but his perspective is great. – JB   My 25th birthday is this week so I decided to treat myself with a trip to the local Brooks …
Member Profile – Heedan Chung Is One Of Ivy’s Greatest Hits
Here is my friend Heedan Chung on Ivy: “To me, Ivy means honoring continuity, sharing remembrance of the past, and facing an ever changing life with quiet authenticity. I don’t know of any other way to live. It transcends ancestral origin, race, ethnicity. But as far as the styling that is associated with Ivy, …
Member Profile – Evan Everhart, An Ivy Gentleman
If you are a member of the Facebook Group (and if you are not, you should be) then you know Evan Everhart. If you have posted, you definitely know Evan. There are various iterations. The definitive Ivy Expert (we write each other a lot, and I tell him all the time he has forgotten more …
