overplayed style

90% of the annoying ppl at the jersey shore are new yorkers who have drifted down the coast like garbage from fresh kills

ON BOTH SIDES

not good enough do you have any declaration of independence signees

no but i have the first chief justice of the supreme court

okay thats dece, i have a guy who lol refused to sign the constitution

or maybe the declaration i cant remember

i guess we can be friends

*secret wasp handshake*

I'm related to Daniel Boone. That qualifies me to wear all the lumberjack/frontiersman bullshit I want, right?

I think it kind of does.

I have the first president of the Republic of Texas, what can I buy with that?

xp oh milo, we're in the same corner I'm pretty sure.

I am related to Johnny Appleseed, which is why I can pull off wearing a saucepan on my head.

man you guys have cool relatives

johnny appleseed is one of my all time fav celebrities

It's not really true –– my dad found some dude in our genealogy (lol Mormons) named John Chapman so he always bragged to us we were Appleseedlings or whatevs BUT it turned out this John Chapman was born in the 1800s. Wrong guy. I was a gullible kid. My dad told me my mom was an alien and I think I believed this until age 12 or so. -_-

haha

Another relative. Not terribly cool, but he did look like he could play a surprise set with Will Oldham.

I think I'm maxed out at one Mayflower + Sam Houston. There's probably some DAR/UDC in there too but no one can be bothered, honestly.

according to family legend i am descended from a gaulish bastard sired by a roman soldier

that's all i got

a lot of the classic preppy brands have a slightly different cultural subtext in the uk.

That photo is like one of those Archie panels where they have a check's head as the foreground for no reason.

check = chick

Elmo have you seen the prep blog by a lady from RI named Muffy? I enjoy it

haha i love this lady bcuz she reminds me so much of my grandmother right down to nagging local merchants to carry w/e yuppie grain is saving yr lyfe right now but some of her 'true prep' aesthetic falls short imo

i went to prep school, in new hampshire, fyi

ex?

just looked up that blog and it's pretty on point -- at least as far as my experience with island-bound preppy matriarchs

no but i have the first chief justice of the supreme court

Martha Washington - but we're Californians and don't really give a shit

this thread is about the muffy blog, isn't it?

wow - obvs there's a ton of stuff in virginia named after confederate generals but it's kind of amazing to me that a current US Army installation is named after one (fort ap hill).

afaik i have no family here going back any earlier than the late 19th century - scandinavian/eastern european immigrants.

Yeah, me neither. I'm 1st generation on my dad's side and my mom's grandparents were from Yugoslavia.

Muffy is ridic.

I don't think any of the strains of my family tree (which are pretty disparate - one grandfather was half-Choctaw, one grandmother was born in Saskatchewan and adopted by first-generation immigrant Russian Mennonites, etc.) got to North America after the turn of the 19th century. Too bad none of them managed to make any money in all that time.

I guess some distant Powells in Virginia with a lot of land, but my great-grandfather lost most of his farm during the Depression.

why can't someone make a coat like this fitted for women. the color + the buttons are perfect

wow @ what i've been missing in this thread

you smart people have def clarified some things about lumberjack style to me but i have to say it is p dreamy

im a descendant of William Jennings Bryan and Ambrose Burnside ._.

xp - is there a good example of a movie in which Mark Ruffalo sports said style?

We Don't Live Here Anymore maybe? Or is that all rumpled adulterous professor style?

its a mix - dude def sports plaid workshirts & three days growth but theres lots of lambs wool sweaters & sloppy cords too

its p incredible really

lambs wool sweaters and cords dont fall under the lumberjack umbrella??

from a blurb about a leather carry-all on a product blog:

"It’s not cheap, but we’re sure you know the drill about investments by now."

yeah -- you know the drill

jesus

"investments"

dunno why you guys are second guessing these dudes intentions ya'll just made they stylin on u

wait Primark is called Penny's in Ireland? I was not aware. I sort of love Primark for cheap accessories and tank tops. I am not ashamed. OK, maybe only a little.

yeah primark is irish, they couldnt call it in the uk bc of jc penney r smthng, similar deal to the bulmers/magners thing.

p sure all my ancestors are from approx 50mi radius of where i was born until at least the time of the celts.
