Because posh englishmen ride horses. But god I would hope not to wear it in public on regular occasions. -- in horseback riding
Geeky/cute glasses that Morthy would deem as oh god I wouldn't want to be seen with you in public item -- in $10 & under.
The big winner, obv: I would never wear this in public (aside from Halloween. Or would I?) And although a REAL posh gentleman wouldn't wear it, an Englishman thinking he's posh totally would. AND it would be perfect for a desert island because my goal there would be finding treasure (you must always dress appropriately). Did I mention that although it doesn't look like a phallic item, I'm sure tons would--ahem. Pop up. PIRATES CAN BE GEEKS, TOO -- in maybe nsfw.
