nice duds.


The Zumbyes (was never a big fan, but hey, do your thang) get left off Men's Style's slideshow on (regrettable) styles of Ivy a capella squads. Not sure how the above pic got on the list - I think the Yale Whiffenpoofs circa 1971 have got the dad glasses / nerd chic aesthetic down pat. Am particularly into the headband-glasses-bowtie combo -- pretty killer. Note taking has commenced.

Nice dragon crest, too. I want that on a tshirt.
