I don’t wear the stuff but I definitely know who it is/what they are…a rare misstep for Jake

Ok so yes, douchebag clothes: confirmed.

(EDIT for the softees: I’m just being crass; it’s ok to like golf and wear golf clothes, I don’t actually have an issue with you nor think you’re a douche :blush: :blush: :blush:)

Classic douchebag comment!!! :fire:

Arguably one of Raleigh’s most successful companies, and definitely the most successful clothing company to come out of Raleigh. It’s polo shirts and khakis, I’m wearing a pair of their pants right now. Not only were most players at the Masters wearing them, but they also have an official line with the Masters.

This is a big win for notoriety; people will visit the hotel just to see this store.

LOL I had the exact same reaction. I googled it before asking who the hell is Peter Millar (and why can’t he spell Miller right?), and it’s golf clothes. I mean great, this area attracts golf tourists, and some may stay at the Omni. But…yeah just seems like a random pairing with a coffee shop.

I should’ve read the rest of the comments before replying. Jake, apparently we’re the uncool minority that doesn’t follow golf fashion trends. I’d rather watch my TV being off than watch someone play golf, so I guess it’s understandable. Regardless, I’m happy for anything that can bring more people downtown, especially this end of Fayetteville St, so it’s a win for DTR.

Same hear. I have heard of Peter Millar and was wondering why they are now doing a coffee shop. But I had no idea there was a Raleigh connection. Golf is boring AF to me and I would rather watch grass grow, but If it brings people (even if mostly Golf Bros) downtown to Fayetteville St. in particular,I’m all for it.

Yeah I mean I definitely don’t watch nor give a FFFFF about golf and genuinely did not know what this brand was until today - but I’m mostly speaking in jest; this coffee shop CERTAINLY won’t be somewhere I care to go, but if it brings more visitors (even the douchebag kind), hey - I’m all for it! lmao

Still not a GUCCI STORE THOUGH!!! :enraged_face:

Yeah absolutely, and I’m also just being silly. I’m not here to judge people’s interests.

Besides, all I know about golf fashion I learned from Happy Gilmore.

I would also prefer a Gucci store. Importing my top hats is a pain.

I mostly wear athleisure stuff or streetwear/ā€œdesigner punkā€ artsy fartsy stuff if I’m trying to look cool and I’m 100% positive the golf crowd would take one look at me and view ME as the douche. Different strokes!

I dont think you should justify classifying a group because you think they would classify you. Great people come in all sorts of clothing.

Why the harsh comment? I was only vaguely aware that it was a clothing brand before now.

Some folks feel the need to make you feel inferior because you don’t know something they do.

I basically wear solid color Goodfellow t-shirts from Target and khaki shorts from Costco. Call me a slob; I couldn’t care less about fancy clothing brands. I spend my money on eyeglasses so that I can see, and good walking shoes so that my knees stay healthy. :smirking_face:

The Raleigh link is not well-known or really something I’ve ever seen them advertise on - I only knew they were from here b/c my brother briefly dated a girl who worked there years and years ago…

Although this makes me think - we need to get them to open a flagship store downtown! Hopefully this coffee shop thing (which I agree, makes 0 sense) is a first step towards that

I think it’s ridiculous not everyone knows the best knot for tying a fender to a boat railing. (Round turn and two half hitches for anyone wondering).
