No. On so many levels, just no.

It's just Logo shirts and koozies. How does a(n especially unknown brand's) logo t-shirt = "Southern Fraternity Gentleman"?

Kudos for your entrepreneurial spirit, but I doubt you'll reach the demographic that you're targeting.

Wouldn't a "new clothing line" be the antithesis of "Classic"?

/just sayin'

Some years ago my sister found a small box filled with the alligators from Chemise laCoste pull overs. When she asked our Dad what that was all about he told her that back in the day when these shirts were the warm weather uniform of fraternity men he and his friends liked the shirts but didn't like wearing a visable label (just not the done thing). So they would razor off the alligator and either can them or throw them in a box in the back of a closet.
I don't think times have changed to the extent that fraternity men would be comfortable walking around with huge advertising labels on their clothes.

I really think you and southernbelle14 live in a vacuum. You might even be neighbours.

On the bright side, I now know that people have really silly notions of what the word "Classic" means.

You do realize that, several times a year, a kid starts a "Fratty Clothing Brands" thread, right?

This, like Southern Proper, just tries too hard. I thought "frat" was about not trying so damned hard!

Hey, if Ralph Lifshitz from the Bronx can change his name to Ralph Lauren and become the Pied Piper of nouveau riche preppies, anything's possible.
