I'm a fan of Barbour, it'd be nice to see them make a wider range of gear (which they're now doing with polos, buttondowns and sweaters)

Britprep....heh, surprised no one coined that term much earlier.  Seems a lot of brands would fit under that umbrella

there is a sort of british take on the 80s preppy look though.
it's all jack wills/aubin and wills/hollister etc. etc. with popped collars and gillets and shaggy hair.

i don't hate it - some of my friends wear it and i sometimes on a very very hot day pop my collar. but only sometimes.


hip people and morons in baggy jeans hate it.

At least one crusty sock under your dorm mattress-used for masturbating into- saves having to wipe your spent seed from your stomach.

School ties worn back to front so the thin end shows and the wider end is tucked away in ones shirt.

^ Now that's a really acute observation Re: The old school tie.

Some boys humped their pillows & then swapped them with the pillows of dweebs in the morning.

All of this finally tempts me for the first time to get back in touch with the ol' alumni association to find out who's doing what now.

Oh the fun of unmasking heads of industry as chronic masturbators online!

And 'orrible big rough toenail clippings everywhere!

Cold lino
Tepid water
Freezing bogs
The hunger for letters

Knives -forks -plates and bowls still having remnants of food present because the domestic staff-didn`t give a shit -having to peel the night before dried on cabbage from your fork prior to eating breakfast really is one of the pleasures of British boarding schools.
