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.

This is not a commercial site and links to commercial sites will not be posted.

Oh, is this at Don Draper's house?

Don's beer of choice was Fielding (an anachronism) and, later, Betty bought a case of Heineken. But the decor is close, even though that is certainly a restaurant or club of some kind.

Somehow, even to this day, "out of Schlitz" is a fairly common expression in the US Military. I work in the Joint world, and have heard it from all the services, I think. Gawd, how I like crap that doesn't change...
