Now Men Everywhere Can Dress Like Harvard ElitistsPosted on Aug 6, 2009
Now, everyone knows that even the toniest of Ivy League institutions recently suffered substantial blows to their massive endowment funds, but Harvard University’s idea to launch a menswear line called Harvard Yard just seems like school branding gone horribly awry. That, and their preppy sport coats go for $495 a pop, making Harvard once again tailor-made for the trust-fund set.

Inherit the Wind—-I couldn’t have said it better.
Report thisIt’s sad when you think what Harvard use to be. Now,
it’s become a playground for rich people’s brats.
Don’t for “You reap what you sow!”

Harvard Business School! Isn’t that were men and
women have been trained to rape and pillage the
people and enviornments around the world all in the
name of their god, BUSINESS? Werewolf Group! Can’t
think of a better name for something related to
Harvard! I wonder if Kathy Griffin is on their
board of directors? I also wonder how they got the
publicity stint on Truthdig? You don’t think Truthdig could possibly be getting a kickback from
Werewolf? I don’t know how I ever got on this site
to begin with. Probably because of the word “truth.” Boy, did I ever get “digged.”

ROFLMAO!
And when the Harvard MBAs get caught or sued they hire their brethren from Harvard Law to defend them!

AN EXCELLENT REASON TO START DECONSTRUCTING THE HARVARD LOGO
& turning it into an re-considered underground logo of dissent

This line is going to be wildly successful - I wish they’d go public, the stock would be a fantastic investment. (not that I buy stock, but if I did)
Why didn’t they think of this earlier? Before they just dumped preppy neocons on us, now they have Branded themselves.

Hey, I’m qualified—I’ve been to Harvard—or close to it as I drove past….
My bubble has been burst…Here, all along, I thought Harvard students didn’t NEED to be taught to wash their hands—they arrived knowing it.
And I thought Dartmouth students also arrived knowing well enough not to piss on their fingers.
THIS is what they are learning in the Ivy League????—and they make fun of big State U’s where the students learn how to throw keg parties and drink till they puke?

Dark brown loafers instead of boat shoes or sneakers?
Sleeves rolled up, but neatly and below the elbow?
PLAID jacket with shorts? Shorts ABOVE the knees?
Toolbag oufits, all of them.
Most definately NOT Magnificent Bastards

OMG, I wouldn’t be caught dead in any of those clothes. Harvard must be clueless regarding its strengths, which are many, but it’s hardly the University of Milan.

This Dartmouth graduate sneers at and mocks Harvard “style.”
At a Harvard-Dartmouth game, I took a leak. As I turned away, the guy at the next urinal said, “At Hahvahd, they teach us to wash our hands after urinating.” I replied, “At Dartmouth, they teach us not to piss on our hands.”

Wearwolf Group? Seersucker shorts? Are those called smarty pants?

This has to be the first furtive fashion article on Truthdig: gratifying to know fashion idiocy is as endemic among men as women. Gotta show this to my husband, who has four pairs of everyday synthetic/nylon toast-colored pants suitable for riding horses in rugged terrain, one pair of same pants that are waterproof, and one pair of dark-brownish tweed year-round pants for anywhere he can’t get away with his horse pants. He has a dozen synthetic/nylon Travelsmith type shirts in tan, reddish, blues and olives. Has three jackets of various weight and function to wear over these clothes, 1 sweater, no ties, 1 pair of boots, 1 pair of brown leather shoes, 1 pair of running shoes, 1 pair running shorts, 1 cowboy hat, 1 rain hat, 1 beret, 2 mufflers I gave him that he wears when it’s cold. 5’11”, 155lbs., wildly curly black-whitish hair, main accessories a guitar, a couple of books, nameless watch, sardonic grin. Always looks great (but not like he went to Harvard).

I wonder what makes Harvard think that people want to look like its students. When I was young, the stereotype of those kids was that they were kind of geeky looking.

Quote: “The line includes “short-sleeve plaid shirts, Liberty print wovens, seersucker shorts, regimental stripes, sporty knits, patterned jackets and fancy pants — all in a contemporary, tapered fit,” according to WWD.”
Seersucker shorts…..lol. I promise the first time I see a guy wearing seersucker shorts I’m not going to lmao. I promise.
These “seersucker shorts” wouldn’t by any chance happen to be plaid…. would they? Because if they are, I simply cannot keep my promise.
I sense that this is what the term “educated idiot” was invented for and is illustrative of. Seersucker….. lol.
So… I have a question. Are the “fancy pants” and the “seersucker shorts” coordinated separates with the “Liberty print wovens”, the “regimental stripes” and the “patterned jackets”? And in this vein, are the “regimental stripes” indicated as referring to the “patterned jacket” or the “seersucker shorts”? Of course, maybe “regimental stripes” refers to the “Liberty print wovens…?
It’s simply fustrating…. now what, this simply blows my whole wardrobe all to hell, it’s so difficult to keep abreast of these incredibly important issues…...alas…..alas, I despair.
