“IVY LEAGUE TODAY” 1975 | VINTAGE RALPH LAUREN POLO

April 29, 2009

Heavy Tweed Jacket has one of the most amazing archives of vintage Ivy menswear publications, catalogs, etc. anywhere. Hands down.  It’s a daily read for inspiration, education & nostalgia.  Last week HTJ ran an amazing vintage spread on Ivy Today – 1975 via “Men’s Club” magazine. The pics are truly priceless– including a great ad for the then relatively young brand, Polo Ralph Lauren (est. 1967).

    Those shots at Brown are great, and quite a laugh. When I was in that very spot this morning you would have been able to count the well dressed people on one hand.

    Thanks for this man! As a Lo head, and a lover of the old ad campaigns and anything classic Polo, I truly enjoyed this.
