Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
I'd say Buddy Holly in the red cords up there is a cautionary tale. He looks like a bit of a try-hard. A navy or hunter green turtleneck instead of the white, brown cords, and regular beat up penny loafers, and he'd look a lot better in my opinion.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
Bringing this thread back to ask a question. Does anyone remember the military canvas belts with slides? I've worn those since forever with jeans and been doing so since I was in school. I really don't remember seeing them on other people but I doubt I would have noticed back then. Were they a thing at any time or was it just me?

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
I've seen a few in old yearbooks, mikey, and actually was just thinking about them. Not many, but they were there. No hardcore Ivy guys in them, but Ivy-adjacent, 70s and 80s.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
Thanks for the answers, I can't remember when I picked that habit up but it was a long time ago. I was always a little different anyway.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
I got a copy as well. Some great items and they seem to list the shop / price which is interesting.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
Any and all, my man. Whatever strikes your fancy... Interested in what they have for the 80s and 90s though for sure.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist
/\ a gaggle of preppy Deadheads plus cameo appearances by Conrack and Larry Kroger
see the Adid@s, N!ke, Desert Treks, Wallabys, Top-Siders, can't quite ID the squash player's sneakers, could they be Converse Deck Stars, which were Sperry-like
can't quite make out the sneakers on the cross-eyed grimacing football ogre either
good batch though, I can tell these pics were from '77-'79, maybe '76-'80
