In another attempt at tweaking the Trad, here is a two-button darted Brooks jacket, a Brooks point-collared shirt and the classic Brooks tie; forward-pleated flannels from Ralph of Long Island and Allen Edmonds Sanfords. (Plus the usual fripperies.)
All these elements save the shoes would not pass muster as strict Ivy elements, yet I think it would be hard to call it "fashion-forward" or - gasp - "Italian."
I'm not too sure about the grey/olive combination, however.

Patrick, You are a lot closer to Ivy than a lot of guys usually get, and anyway there's no need to get blueprinty about it. The grey/olive works for me as does that brilliant lo-fi desk.
I second HTJ on the steel desk, and I second you on forward plated flannels.
Rules are for litle kids and suckers.
I like Updated American, but then you knew that.
