Just saw people wearing HBS jackets!!!

Damn, maybe Brady was right. So I AM sitting at this fancy restaurant+bar in Cambridge last night, and in comes this group of guys with their HBS fleece jackets. (I couldn't normally afford this place, but just went there for a special occasion)

As I'm looking at these guys, I'm thinking - I may not have achieved much compared to these guys in life, but at least I AM not a loser like them. I kid you not, it was almost Brady like. They definitely had some swagger. I mean I'm sure since the place in in Cambridge there were students from the Harvard Law, Med schools as well. But you don't see them wearing jackets with HLS labels.

If they needed to wear their HBS jackets to a bar, surely they have some insecurities about yourself.

Of course I did not say this to them, but my advice would to them would be ... "Have some confidence in your own personality. Use that to attract girls/friends etc. If you need to wear your HBS jacket to talk to girls, surely you are a very insecure person."

I am expecting some monkey poo coming my way, but I just wanted to write that.

You see HBS fleeces at ski resorts all over VT and NH.

Haha. I was just doing some amateur psychoanalysis while drunk. But I still standby the point that if you have what we normally call GAME (I don't like that word), you don't need to use labels to attract girls.

Maybe I should buy one of those jackets and wear it to a bar. I don't think they would exactly have the Brady effect.

 
  1. You sound super insecure. Why else would you write a rambling diatribe on HBS guys you saw at a bar?

  2. You can't buy a HBS fleece jacket unless you're a student because you order them online through the HBS Students Association, which requires a HBS e-mail address to order.

  3. I doubt these guys wore their jackets to the restaurant/bar because they wanted to impress girls. They wore it for the same reason I wear my school jacket: they are super comfortable! And I hate dressing up unless I really have to, so oftentimes I will just wear jeans, shirt, my b-school jacket, and tennis shoes. No need to psychoanalyze this.

I think we need to stop hyperlinking "AM"

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

I think your reaction says more about you than anything else. Who hasnt worn a school hoodie/fleece out in public before although maybe not out to a nice restaurant? The biggest surprise is that there is even any HBS gear available as I would have thought Brady would have starting hoarding that stuff after his WSO exile induced depression.

 

Wearing a school fleece jacket to a nice restaurant is a douche move. There's nothing wrong with having pride in your school, I wear my school apparel to bars in my hometown and at my university town but wearing it to a nice restaurant just screams as trying way too hard. It has nothing to do with the school you went to but it shows a lack of class more than anything else.

 

This is why on the inside tag of every HBS jacket there is a little sticker that just says "YMMV" (your mileage may vary). To get the most bang for your buck, I would recommend wearing a HBS jacket everywhere, including upscale restaurants, car dealerships, supermarkets, walmarts, the DMV, convenience stores...basically any place with warm bodies.

Apparently, someone tried this before ..
