    Popped collars are like cicadas - they like come every few years, nobody knows why, they are annoying then they are gone.

    I also think like the wave, the trend moves fro area to are and then returns.

    it's in fashion in HK and there are several douches I know who think it's great, especially combined with the large Polo logo shirts.

    I'll wear a "popped" collar, but only with a Fiji or South Africa rugby jersey

    Is there anything about this picture that doesn't make you want to kick these guys in the taint?

    They look like frat boys so no, there is nothing that stops feelings like you mention in that spot and many others.

    My dad (who is 60+ years old) pops his collar when it is sunny outside. He said that is why shirts have collars. I'm not sure that is the true origin of the collar, but I do admit, if the sun is beating down on my neck, it sure works well.

    Please inform your dad that he is a douche.

    Go watch the mighty ducks. The "evil" coach pops his jacket collar the entire movie. Come to think of it, he was a douche. Was he the first? Can someone do some research?

    In the 90s this was popular for golfers playing in the sun who wanted some protection for the back of their necks.

    Well obviously dress shirts have collars so that you can cover your tie....

    Go to Charlottesville, VA or Georgetown in DC - you've never seen so many popped collars.

    Yall think this is a ******* joke, but come to Long Island. These douche ******* wear nothing but popped collars. I would bet that Long Island has the most douches per capita of anywhere in the world. [​IMG]

    I saw a guy working at Mcdonald's in the SMU area with his collar popped. [​IMG]

    Nope, I'm the Long Island douche [​IMG] with a white Bevo sticker over a Dartmouth sticker on the back window.

    It's always great when someone flips a hook'em up here though. [​IMG]

    Next time I see one of yall on the road on the island I'll flash you the hookem.

    I'll be the DB wearing the sideways longhorn cap, double popped collars, Gucci sunglasses (only after 8 pm), and Folex Presidente. And as I speed past you in my 328i convertible, Ill quickly change my hook em' to a sideways peace sign.

    I didn't realize there were this many of us on Strong Island. I just moved from there after 2 1/2 long years and the douchebag quotient is without a doubt obscenely high. Think Jersey without the industrial wasteland.

    I'm a girl, and those guys make me want to either kick their ***, or join a convent.

    I will do it on very rare occassions when I need the collar to serve its intented purpose and prevent the back of my neck from getting scorched (on a fishing boat, for instance). Guys who do it as a fashion statement should have their man cards permanently yanked.
