Has it really been 30 years? Wow!
Preps are still hated and envied everywhere so not much has changed.
Even Hip Hop embraced the Preppy look for what it's worth.

The white athletic tape wrapped around my Weejuns was there to keep the sole on. Wouldn't want to trip mixing it up with townie thugs.

All those stupid frat boys at Texas will buy it with their Izods. Probably the only book they read in college, all they did was drink and cheat their way to a degree. Thanks to the ATO test file.
