Summary
Put on your Docksiders for a stroll through history with Avery Trufelman, who shows us how Ivy style became “preppy,” and how preppy fashion escaped the campus and took over the world. We’re talking about clothing, class, race, and the American dream: you may be through with the polo shirt, but the polo shirt isn’t through with you.

| 0:00.0 | Tucker Carlson looks like an evil little boy in a horror movie from the 70s, doesn't he? |
| 0:18.3 | Welcome to Your Honor About. I'm Sarah Marshall and today we have Avery Trouffleman as our special guest. |
| 0:25.1 | Today we ask the question, where have all the preppies gone, an extremely |
| 0:30.6 | topical reference to a polychol song, which I'm sure is on all of your minds. And we |
| 0:36.1 | were talking today about how an aesthetic that once was or at least seemed to be a |
| 0:41.5 | hyper-specific marker of class, race, and privilege has now become something we hardly even notice. |
| 0:48.3 | And it may seem like it's disappeared, but in fact escapes discourse simply |
| 0:54.0 | because it has become ubiquitous. I loved having Avery on the show. I've enjoyed her work |
| 0:59.6 | in podcasting since before I made podcasts. And she's one of my inspirations for getting into |
| 1:06.4 | doing this at all. And it was so wonderful to talk with her about something that she has |
| 1:12.0 | clearly become deeply obsessed with. And there's nothing I love more than being told about |
| 1:17.0 | somebody's obsession with footnotes. If you want to support the show, you can do it on Patreon or |
| 1:22.8 | Apple Plus subscriptions. And we are coming out with a bonus episode where I talk to Carolyn, |
| 1:29.8 | our wonderful producer about the making of Fleetwood Max rumors. And we've got some cute shirts and |
| 1:36.5 | stuff on T-Public as well. I've heard that people are shopping lately. I don't know why, but if you |
| 1:43.3 | want to do that, that's one of your options. Thank you so much for being with us. Here's our episode. |
| 1:48.7 | Welcome to You Wrong About the podcast where I have a little cold. It's not COVID. I'm going to be |
| 1:57.4 | here forever. Don't worry about it. And with me today is Avery Treffleman podcasting legend, |
| 2:04.8 | dare I say it. It's such an honor. This is so cool. This is so fun to have you on here. Tell us about |
| 2:12.7 | who you are and what you do. And then we'll go on our wonderful cable knit journey together. Yeah, |
| 2:19.1 | I'm a podcaster. For the last year or so, I've been working on this podcast that I make about fashion |
