There is a four page DCUM thread to debate what is simply the fact that different brands and styles of clothing tend to identify people in different socio or economic groups. Are you people idiots or what? We all buy products and brands that are appropriate to our socio economic group, and if you think you don't, you are crazy. My personal favorite are the women who bitch about Lululemon and other more costly brands, and then boast how practical they are wearing Target, REI, and the like. Well I have news for them. They buy Target and REI to boast about it because it conveys something about themselves. They WANT to be viewed a certain wait (usually more evolved and less influenced by brands). You fools, that is the image that Target and REI sell. Everyone is buying into some brand and the image it coveys.

Thank you for sharing. We will take it under consideration... next...

no, i don't have one. and i don't dislike them either -- i just don't have one. but i agree with the poster, you denigrate burberry buyers, but brag about how "practical" and "frugal" you are for shopping at target, please...predictable.

but god forbid you question the practical, frugal wisdom of buying clothes at target that are likely to fall apart in a couple of months. i've had my (burberry) quilted jacket for more than 10 years. it is in great shape, as others said works well in the DC climate, and -- oh the horror -- I like it. just because you reject labels doesn't mean everyone who buys labels covets them or is some kind of label whore.

Yes but I also wear a cardigan almost daily. However, I am 48 and it was what I grew up wearing.....teen in the preppy years I guess. It just feels like me, I'm comfortable, and no one else around me really does so it is almost like my own style now and people say " that is so you. "

"Every story has a bead" or is that one of the other bead/charm bracelets? It seems like it would be so much work to remember which bead went with which "story" or "special moment". And what if you only have like 4 beads. Would people think you didn't have enough special moments?

Where do you live that no one else around you wears quilted jackets or cardigans? I'm not trying to be mean here, but I just cannot imagine anywhere in the DC area where you don't see a ton of women wearing these items.

Not the above poster, but of similar age and style. Trust me, not many of my hipster neighbors wear either.

In my neighborhood (Mt. Pleasant/Columbia Heights) I can count the number of women I have seen wearing quilted jackets on no hands. Nope, that's not a typo. Women in this neighborhood don't seem to wear them.

Quilted jackets are cute. But I don't like quilted purses.

DCUMers will jump at ANY chance to brag about how rich they are. I've never come across a more insecure bunch of folks in my life.

just googled "quilted jackets", they are ugly, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of them.

They call to mind very skinny old ladies who try to dress young.

Quilted jackets are for wanna-be ladies who lunch. Or ladies who dress like this:
