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.

I was at a thrift store the other day here in San Francisco and while scanning the shoe aisle, I spotted what looked like a very nice pair of dusty wingtips that I could not identify. I practically ran up to them to take a look. My excitement was shot to heck when I picked them up and realized I was holding what looked like a cheap facsimile of a quality shoe. It was kind of cardboard-like with cheap leather soles. The brand... Regal.
