Avery Trufelman
& the Navy Blazer

Avery Trufelman, host of renowned podcast Articles of Interest: American Ivy, has become one of our favorite Ivy style historians. Pictured here wearing a J. Press navy blazer, oxford button down shirt, and khaki chinos, not only is she an Ivy ambassador through words, but also through style!

“I came to J. Press for its fascinating story and legacy, but came to fall in love with its superior quality and timeless style. And I love how the two elements go together: I get so many compliments from strangers when I'm in a J. Press sweater, and then I get to tell them about this fascinating history.”

The go-anywhere, do-anything jacket of classic American menswear, the J. Press Navy Blazer is the ultimate wardrobe essential. Pair it with grey trousers or khakis, an O.C.B.D. shirt and loafers.

Made of 100% wool with signature brass buttons and 5/16” edge stitching, our Navy Blazer is featured in a flattering sack model with a natural shoulder and a 3-roll-2 button stance.

Jeffrey Tee & the
OCBD

Jeff Tee, compliance investigator and NYC native, is a master at taking Ivy style staples and remixing them into a rugged, Americana aesthetic that’s entirely his own. Pictured here wearing a J. Press navy blazer, oxford button down shirt, khaki chinos, and patch madras sailing hat from the J. Press x Quaker Marine collection.

“The clothes from J. Press are something I could wear to work, on a date or on a stroll along the pier. I really enjoy the brand’s versatility.“

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of the perfect shirt. With it’s classic fit, unlined collar for a natural roll, and our signature flap pocket, the J. Press O.C.B.D. is as good as it gets.

Made in the U.S.A. of 100% sturdy yarn-dyed cotton oxford cloth, this icon has epitomized Ivy League cool for over a century.

Dick Carroll & the
Repp Stripe Tie

Dick Carroll is one of the greatest players in the NYC menswear game. An Australian cartoonist specializing in autobiographical comics and fashion illustration, he has depicted just about every facet of the Ivy style uniform in his witty and fun works. Dick is pictured here wearing a J. Press navy blazer, blue bengal stripe dress shirt, khaki chinos, and repp stripe tie.

“Ive always been drawn to J. Press, where a lot of other stores bucked to the tides of trends and time J. Press have seemed to stay exactly the same.

It's the only place left I can walk in and the blazers have all the details I want, the wall is a perfect rainbow of shaggy dogs, the chinos fit like chinos.“

Originating in England, Repp Stripe ties were introduced in the United States during the early 1900's and have become the standard tie of the Ivy Look. Differentiating from their cousins in the U.K., our diagonal stripes run from the wearer's top right to bottom left.

Our 100% Silk Repp fabric ties are handsewn in the USA and England with the world's finest interlinings.

Chris Pizarro & the
Seersucker Suit

Chris Pizarro is widely known in the classic menswear scene for his iconic 50s/60s-inspired style, especially when it comes to the canonical Ivy style look. Chris is pictured here wearing a J. Press grey seersucker jacket and trouseers, a black pique short sleeve polo, and his own vintage belt and two-tone shoes.

“Working as a costumer for TV/Film, it’s only natural that I would be inspired by clothing that tells a story. To me J. Press always conjures up images of academics, writers, and jazz musicians during the mid 20th century. Often they would be wearing oxford button down shirts, natural shoulder jackets, and silk neckties in a variety of stripes and pattens. A timeless combination that goes down like a Hollywood classic.”

First popularized by the Ivy Leaguers in the 1920s, our sack suit has been a quintessential icon of American style ever since.

Tailored with a natural soft shoulder, undarted front, "3 Roll 2" button stance, and center hook vent, our sack jacket pairs with flat front trousers as a full suit, or in the case of seersucker, seasonal separates.

Sean Crowley & the
Khaki Chino

Sean Crowley is the owner of perhaps the greatest vintage clothing shop of all time—especially if you’re interested in classic menswear. If you’re ever in need of true vintage Ivy style essentials like tweed sport coats and corduroy trousers, Crowley Vintage is the place to go! Sean is pictured here wearing a J. Press navy blazer, oxford cloth button down shirt, striped Shaggy Dog sweater, and khaki cotton chinos.

First worn on college campuses by ex-serviceman following the passage of the G.I. Bill and quickly adopted by students across the country, cotton khaki trousers remain a pillar of Ivy League style.

J. Press 100% Cotton Twill Khaki Trousers are tailored in the U.S.A. and featured in our signature plain fron model.
