Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist

Agreed re the disappointment.

That reminds me - I should dredge out my pair of late '80s red and blue awning stripe, contrasting collar, button-downs before next Spring...

I mean, why not?

Everything going to hell and getting all conformist-like out there does have its advantages for the rest of us.

Awesome work Brooks, that last pic is especially A+ for me...

Edit: Last pic meaning red sweater Bill Gates kid, not baseball Tom Cruise...

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist

^ Canada Goose a 'ghetto brand', how do you make that out?

They're popular alright, but hardly cheap.

Here's one of their mid range jackets - a snip at £900.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist

I had a good khaki overstuffed down parka made of cotton poplin with smooth green ripstop lining and detachable hood, no fur, got it from EMS I think with the help of one of my freshman roomies who knew about stuff like that

it was a lifesaver that first winter, then I learned to streamline things mainly because there was no room to stow big down jackets anywhere in some of those old classrooms, which were great for lectures but bad for hanging up bulky coats .......

so this was where the blanket-lined made in USA trucker jackets and Storm Riders came in very handy .....

had a lot of coats back then, navy peacoat, gray tweed fly-front topcoat, corduroy cruisers, etc., but we started to compete to see who could dress the lightest

discovered that thick socks, wool scarf, and knit hat could take the place of the heavy coat and let you not have to lug it around all winter .....

the heavy zip hoodie would get respectable when paired with a lambswool v-neck, a t-shirt or an ocbd, a woolen scarf, wide-wale cords from Press, blucher mocs or old Sperry canvas deck shoes or Jack Purcells, wool Wigwam or maybe Burlington or Bean or Woolrich ragg socks

it was fun to grab stuff from different levels of the clothing mountain and jumble them all together, it was my method and one I still use today

wrinkled but right

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist

I think the main reason for avoiding Canada Goose, like with Polo Sport or Tommy's spell out lines, is that they look pretty god damn awful.

Re: The Late 70s Prep Checklist

My levis down jacket is the colour of that second one, with a cord sandy yellow western yoke and hood, not really east coast friendly!
