On a driveway somewhere at the East Coast

Yep, I'm back and man did I had a great trip, I travelled through 8 States and drove 2500 miles, this is the first part of my trip through a part of the East Coast. Spend some time in New York State, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In Connecticut, I visited the birthplace of the Hamburger, Louis Lunch (sorry, but it is maybe the birthplace but they don't have the best burger) and the Gant Campus Store, which was bigger as I expected with very nice staff (Thanks Eric, for letting me take some pictures). On Nantucket, I biked to Sconset, a true New England village. And on Martha's Vineyard, I visited the harbor of Menemsha where parts of the movie Jaws was shot. What about Cooperstown, NY the birthplace of baseball, the town is packed with stores with baseball memorabilia. And everywhere I came I saw these beauties of Old-Timers, I wish I had a parking spot left on my drive, would love to have an old school 4 wheel drive.

RUGBY @ THE HAMPTONS

Some pictures from the Rugby Store in East Hampton. These pictures are not from this season, I think they are already 2 or 3 years old, but still up to date. This is true american East Coast Preppy.

NEW ENGLAND STYLE

Shingle style houses, nautical inspired interior, cozy and homey feeling......This must be the Gant Home collection for Spring 2011, shot in the Summerhouse of Robert F. Kennedy jr., in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. 1 + 1 = 2 this is American East Coast at it's best.

KINGS OF EAST COAST PREP

Bernhard Gant 1949

Ralph Lauren 1967

Tommy Hilfiger 1985

The preppy look started after the WWII people got more sparetime then ever and they also dressed themself more casual then ever. Mr. Bernhard Gantmacher, started his company Gant in 1949 in New Haven, CT., know at that time as Gant Shirtmakers. Ralph Lifshitz started in 1967 with a few ties under the label "Polo" In 1972 he released the polo pique shirt in 24 colors with the polo emblem and the rest is history. In 1985, Tommy Hilfiger started his preppy journey with some guerilla marketing on Times Square, New York.  Happy 25th anniversary Tommy!
