at this dude. such a wannabe and obvious poser.


All the above brands are vomit inducing.

I know prep school kids love Lilly but that's vomit inducing too.

All style, no substance. (And the style sucks).

At least if you're gonna go prep, get the quality stuff - Barbour, Brooks Brothers, the higher end Ralph Lauren, Eddie Bauer, Lacoste..


If you wear Barbout outside a horse venue, my family will roast you.


No one gives a shit what your family does.


No one wants to hear about what is vomit inducing. TMI.

It is fine to wear to sporting pursuits. It is so stinky to wear walking around town.

Lighten up, folks -- sometimes a polo shirt is just a polo shirt.

Ah, PaleoConPrep. You've been quiet, and the parents out here have missed hearing from you. Any update about your plans?

Headed to St. John's College in Annapolis this fall.

I ask about it to avoid it. Not a plus for us. It's a helpful descriptor when trying to figure out fit.
