those are called sailing shirts here, at least, that is the only thing I've heard that style of shirt called. Fishing shirt around here means one that you don't mind falling in the river in. There is a serious lack of recreational water. They chase you out of the James. Oh well.

I'm not too sure about "Northern Preppy", but where I'm from we've got our own breed of it: "Cape Cod Preppy".

Lots of the normal stuff - Abercrombie, A&E ( we tend to go the beachy/preppy look ), Lacoste. Then there's my favorite Vineyard Vines.


which if you don't know, you should all check out.

I'm starting a new job Monday, and I'm totally making myself into New England Preppy for it. Awesome.

While many down South thought Vineyard Vines was the savior of the fratty clothing style besides Polo........I have come to realize that their clothing really isnt that great. Their shirts fit very wierd and will shrink in the wash. Their pants are baggy and their shirts are long. Basicall the only thing worth buying from there is the neck ties. The bow ties are way to flimsy to tie and hold shape.

macallan - no need to worry a new company just started down here called Souther Proper that sells beaus and gents ties (bow and straight ties) with only southern things printed on them ie. cotton, magnolias, dogwoods, catfish, and many other prints. I myself already have the pink cotton bow tie and the yellow magnolia bow tie. eventually they will be expanding into polos, pants, shorts and everything else you will need. and you are right people outside the south will never understand our style and tradition. Oh and there is one thing that all of yall have forgotton that people wear in the north and that is the dreaded JORTS hahaha

by the way go check out the websiteSouthern Proper

O.M.G. 98% of those tie patterns are GAY, with exception, possibly of the football one. If I saw a guy wearing any of those, I'd be looking for another one wearing one to hook him up with. GAY.

Shirts are supposed to be fitted, not loose. I hardly believe you have a collection of bowties, let alone occasions schedules to wear them to. And VV is known for their ties, so let your geeky trendwhore friends down South know that before they dress any worse than they already do.

Too bad they copy their designs from BB, Ferragamo, and pretty much any other tie maker.

rudey, shows how much you know about brooks brothers the only prints that are the same are the golf and the sail boats. alot of stripes and dots are at BB

ferragamo only has a golfer and a sailboat tie, but i admit the ties are decent at best but the rest of the site is full of faggotry. like that damn music

southern proper is a company that may copy only a couple of designs ie golf and sailing but what company doesnt, but the rest of the prints are truly southern.

well i am going to go put on my pleated nantucket reds and polo shirt , croakies, and go to the country club and play some golf and make connections with my southern compatriots and find my future southern wife in a sun dress and pearls. so i will be back to read you lame responce
