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 had those in the 70's for sailing in SF Bay. They looked like Keds, but the tops were two layers of canvas, and the soles stuck to the decks better. Do they still make them?

Sperry released the "75th Anniversary" edition CVO last year, and it looks pretty close... not sure where they're making them now, though.
