The authoritative fashion history of the roots, growth, and offshoots of the quintessentially American preppy style.  Preppy offers the first definitive and in-depth volume on preppy fashion, exploring its evolution from its pragmatic origins and presence on elite Eastern campuses in America to its profound influence internationally and metamorphosis on the runway. For the first time, the preppy story is told completely and beautifully with iconic and never-before-published archival and editorial photographs and personal snapshots from the original Ivy elites. Exploring all facets of men’s and women’s preppy fashion, this vibrant volume is replete with photographs and vintage ads illustrating the iconic elements of prep: from Oxford shirts, khakis, and Shetland sweaters to Peter Pan collars, madras pants, and Lilly Pulitzer tropical blooms. Authors Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle also examine the fashion designers who played a major role in shaping the preppy look, from retail pioneers J.Press and Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren, who single-handedly marketed not just a look but a lifestyle. Also featured: a band of young twenty-first century Ivy stylists and fashion labels worldwide, who have infused preppy with high-octane design on and off the runway. Preppy is a stunning tribute to an American phenomenon.

Since many years ago, Oxford shirts have been a classic piece of clothing worn by everyone from corporate leaders to college students. The adaptability, comfort, and durability of these shirts are well-known. Monk of Method is one company whose name has come to be associated with the Oxford shirt.

Oxford Shirts' Past

The Oxford shirt first appeared as a sort of cotton and wool fabric in Scotland in the 19th century. Oxford, a renowned English university town where the fabric gained popularity among students in the early 20th century, is where the term "Oxford" originates. The shirt immediately gained appeal outside of the school and was worn often by men of all ages.

The Oxford shirt features a button-down collar and a single breast pocket in a straightforward yet beautiful design. The cloth often has a basketweave weave, which gives it a textured look. Oxford shirts come in a variety of hues, but the traditional white color is the most popular.

The expert in Oxford shirts is a monk of the method.

The Fabric of Choice

The fabric is one of an Oxford shirt's distinguishing qualities. Compared to other dress shirts, Oxford shirts usually include thicker cotton. This offers the shirt a thicker feel, making it ideal for colder weather or people who like a thicker garment.

The fabric's basketweave design also imparts a distinctive feel to the shirt. Its texture enhances the shirt's durability while also being aesthetically pleasing. Oxford shirts are the perfect option for individuals who want a shirt that will last for years due to the thicker fabric and distinctive texture.

Versatility

Oxford shirts are an essential part of every wardrobe because they are adaptable. They may be dressed up for a formal occasion with a suit and tie or worn down with jeans and sneakers for a more laid-back appearance. They are also appropriate for a variety of events, including a night out with friends and a day at the workplace.

The Oxford shirt's button-down collar is another element that increases its adaptability. It is appropriate for a variety of dress standards because it may be worn with or without a tie. Also, the collar maintains its position, which is helpful for individuals who want a more put-together appearance.

Maintenance and Care

An Oxford shirt should be carefully cared for to guarantee that it lasts as long as feasible. Their clothing should be washed in cold water and dried by hanging, advises Monk of Method. This aids in keeping the shirt's form and preventing shrinking.

While correctly ironing an Oxford shirt might be challenging, doing so is necessary to preserve the shirt's beauty. The shirt should be ironed on a medium to high heat setting while still being just a little bit moist. Before to ironing the sleeves and the remainder of the garment, focus on the collar and cuffs.

For more than a century, Oxford shirts have been a timeless classic, and for good reason. They are essential to every wardrobe since they are adaptable, comfy, and strong. Monk of Method is a company that focuses on using premium cotton and a precise manufacturing method to create the ideal Oxford shirt.

woo here it is all done! glad it reads even over such a busy print. figured it'd look really good in a kinda mystical 70s look, something dracula ad 1972 maybe.

chart and more talk on the process is in the other post, i just wanted a separate one.

i ended up adding to front and back these four rows (well. the stitch is constructed over two rows so maybe two repeats) of this mesh i'm not sure the name of but is often seen alongside the classic filet mesh, it's pretty simple to work and added some extra detail as well as being functional (the straps can't fall off my shoulders now). i'm not sure i love it as a design detail only in these two spots, but it breaks the monotony so.

a row of single crochet finishes off the edges to both hide my million tails and add just a little bit of structure to the lacing (it's not under tension but still). vertically i worked two stitches on each mesh space, possibly because my tension is pretty loose. across the top it's obviously one stitch per chain and one in each dc. bottom is left as a raw mesh.

i haven't blocked it again, it might need a little vertical care but it's not urgent and i hate blocking because my setup isn't great. overall really pleasant project and i love the end result ^_^

My first gig of 2024, but if I went to a gig every day for the rest of the year, I may not experience a better one than this.

Dear me I am begging you to not go to your friend's NYE party dressed as John Darnielle in the Mountain Goats' "This Year" music video. Your friend's low-key, sober NYE party she invited her work friends from the vet's office to. Do not show up to that with fake blood on your temple please my darling. Just show up with some games and water chestnut dip.
