American Ivy is a real triumph. Who knew the history of Ivy style could be so compelling? Avery did!!! A big thanks to you and your team. The shows were well structured and edited - and best of all - great story telling. Besides Ivy, I feel I have a great understanding of the evolution of American style. Well done!

Avery, I came upon American Ivy after hearing you interviewed on NPR. Kudos for a compelling series on Ivy style, and finding a way to contextualize it into a history lesson that transcends clothes. I always professed to being anti-prep — certainly in high school and college — but over the years adopted chinos and polo shirts and other elements (but never, ever boat shoes, which I consider to be a key preppy signifier).

You're narration is terrific, professional but friendly. My wife and I inhaled the entire series during a car ride to Georgia and back. Thanks for making the long drives far more bearable.
