LL Bean is not sold all over the US? I think you can order it online anywhere.

NP. Of course you can and you know that, but you are much more likely to see people around you dressed in it while in RI than I suspect while in Texas.

+1. I wear the Wicked Warm Slippers while the rest of the country wears horrific things like Uggs. It is a localized thing and not necessarily on a national radar. -mainer

I don't have kids so don't know the answer - but I wonder if kids today are growing up with these sorts of regionalisms or if the internet has made it so everyone wears the same thing.

Blonde hair for life. I grew up at the beach and have been coloring it since I was 13. I’ll never go gray.

I grew up in a beach town with a big surfing community. I love my Billabong and O’Neill but I rarely wear it here. When I go home I can’t resist buying it. It just feels right.
