The sports jackets of the original ivy leaguears were, as I understand, made of tweed and madras, but were the navy jackets (and other colors) made of wool or cotton (or both)? Are cotton jackets a recent development?

Wool jackets seem to me too dressy for college boys.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
