In an attempt to move the brand upmarket they made a deal with Cartier to market a line of clothing as the "Cartier Collection". This would buck the 1970s trend towards large collars and wide legs, and have a distinctively more European style--narrower collars, straight legs, and the classic Cartier signature lining. This was something of a success; it had enough elements of Ivy Style to appeal to the more traditionally well-heeled, and the Cartier name appealed to West Coast executives who lacked the Ivy credentials of their East Coast counterparts.The clothing was also very well-made.#vintage #retro #cartier #botany #botany500 #suitjacket #sportsjacket #blazer #sportscoat #coat #jacket #brown #womens #mens #shoulderpads #notched #striped #academia #grandpacore #grandpa #grandpastyle #grandad #grandpastyle #grandpafashion #classic #oldmoney #70s #ivyleague #elite
