This post is certainly not the first written about T. Hayashida’s ‘Take Ivy’. I had previously read about it here, in De Jour Magazine, and then again recently, when taking a peek through oliverspencer.co.uk.

The former site provided the text and images, which I have crudely mashed together above. I decided this would be a perfect counterpart to the many other posts on this subject, mostly polished and sublime.

Now, back to Oliver Spencer’s clothing range, which is what I had endeavoured to talk about today, specifically their menswear line.

The Coats and Tailoring sections are filled with several pieces I would be quite happy to be adorned in, yet as summer is only a few months away I have found myself clicking towards the Shorts.

The short is a strange item, and many a fellow steers well clear of it altogether. I tend to be a fan, and those on offer from Oliver Spencer are nearing ideal. Perhaps it is time to venture out of the khaki three quarter lengths my men and into a shorter short. A striking colour is a must. Speaking of which, don’t forget to check the sale for last years none movers.
