South vs. North?

Does that mean I'm really a Southerner because a good number of my clothes are Brooks Brothers?

LOL! And even though I was born, brought up and have lived in the South all life, because I don't own any of those brands I'm not a Southerner? HAH!

I've been asked to resign my Southern-ness so many times, for so many reasons, why not clothing brands, lol

One thing I really don't get about the Sperrys is this tho' - why don't people wear socks or something with them? Guys, I hate to tell you this, but your feet REEK. To the extent that your sweat-soaked Sperrys and nasty feet that have been saturating in them all day have nearly made me pass out more than once. WHY DO YOU DO THIS??? Prove your Southern frattiness in some way that is less vomit-inducing, please.

Because they are boat shoes...they get wet. You aren't supposed to wear socks with them.


....and just to add something.....I don't think anyone is saying that the brands mentioned are historically Southern. They aren't. But they definitely are a staple on Southern campuses.....unlike schools elsewhere. I've been to plenty of schools outside of the South and haven't seen near the amount of guys wearing what has been mentioned. Not even close actually.

I guess we're living in the wrong parts of the country - someone should have told us sooner.
