[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It IS “provincial “ — at least in the more tribal sense of the word..  That’s precisely the point.  A long, long, time ago, WASPs were the predominant decision makers in the US.  They sent their kids — especially their sons” to “prep schools” that had not yet considered the possible merits of meritocracy.  They dressed a certain way that was very recognizable in its subtle details to other members of the fold. They passed down their Harris Tweed jackets and Shetland sweaters to their progeny. Fashion was not, and is not the point. Although there have been a few moments when preppy styles became fashionable with the general public, thanks to upstarts like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfinger, when the brouhaha settles, and the fashionistas have moved on, the committed preppies will still have their tribal identifiers.
