I love J. Crew and I really like their kids clothes line, but all those fake Sag Harbor, Block Island, Fisher Island, East Hampton, Nantucket, etc. t-shirt are so freaking pretentious. It's one thing to live or vacation in those places and buy stuff like that from local shops, but to buy them from J. Crew to pretend you are part of that world is just really gross. ok, vent over.

i don't mind words and stuff on t-shirts, or even t-shirts of this type. If you actually go to SAg Harbor and buy it there. Not order it from J. Crew and have no idea where or what Sag Harbor is!! At least the Old Navy fake novelty t's are of actual fake places! [ Reply | More

I'm a snob?/ Why didn't J. Crew make t-shirts with Ocean City or Belmar on them or Ft. Lauderdale??? They picked the most snobby pretentious summer places in the country, so people cold pretend they are rich wasp who go to these places. [ Reply | More

I guess I don't. It was actually more of a disappointment with J. Crew and there so obvious attempt to portray a certain lifestyle. I mean they have always tried to portry their brand as the hip releaxed "prepster" who summers in the Hampton and spends in Winters in Vail, but this was just so blatant. It turned me off.

I'm guessing that you actually go to one of those places and are upset that the riff-raff can now pretend they are as rich and coooool as you are. [ Reply | More

There was an article about that in the Sunday Styles section, about those ridiculous bumper stickers like ACK, etc. - so ridiculous - I can't recall the details but it was something like, some kids changed the letters around on their mom's bumper sticker so it read NERD, or something like this [ Reply | More
