Thank you for your posts, I've been enjoying them! I like the way you explored the types of garments here to come to a few general principles.
I would opt for grey herringbone instead of a brown checkered sports coat as the Ivy. Less fussy to wear, as you only have to think about the color of your trousers, instead of patterns that could perhaps clash.
Also, are you familiar with the podcast series by Avery Trufelman: Articles of Interest? She made a series about Ivy style, also exploring the origins of Take Ivy, which I think would greatly interest and perhaps surprise you. Another recommendation is Ametora by W. David Marx, who goes into depth on the origins of Amekaji.
Interesting to hear your thoughts on the sport coats, funnily enough I’ve always found grey herringbone challenging for the reason that I find it too conservative, though that perhaps has something to do with my age and taste more than anything else.
Articles of interest was a recommendation in my first ever Club Chair Bulletin!
