One of the ultimate purveyors of preppy style, Gant, has just dropped a 42-piece collection in collaboration with Yale University. The company which is now headquartered in Stockholm, was actually founded in New Haven, Connecticut in 1949, a stone’s throw from Yale, and would sell its shirts in the university shop.
From corduroy and tweed blazers to rugby tops and classic Oxford shirts, the collegiate collection has a vintage feel with matching sweat sets, a pinstripe blazer and a Yale crest-patterned tie, all of which would feel right at home in a real mid-century classroom full of Ivy League students.
