Welcome to The Ivy League Look
This blog presents a historical view through articles, photographs, reminiscences, and advertisements, of an American style of men's fashion of the mid-20th century known as "The Ivy League Look" or "The Ivy Look."
This blog will not present modern-day iterations of this "look"; it will be shown in its original context as an American style worn during this specific era. Author commentary will be kept to a minimum.

Have you seen a men's clothing ad recently that uses the word "gentleman"??
How often does one see or hear the word "gentleman" anywhere nowadays?
My first suit when I was finally big enough for the men's department was a Botany 500
