I like how he starts out with square KC shoes and ends up with bespoke, but I think they need to up the price on the shoes a little.

Meeting someone from Harvard, they will undoubtedly display faux modesty and say something along the lines of, "Oh, I went to school in Boston." I imagine they want me to guess MIT, just so they can say "Harvard" proudly in response, but instead, I say something like, "Hmm. You really look like a Northeastern kind of guy. BU, maybe?" This puts them in their place, and they will scramble away, crying crimson tears all over the floor.

Can't be a real "baller" without a pocket square in that suit.

Meh. This seems more like your issue than theirs. I went to an Ivy... I've played this both ways, and you can't really win with some people. If you just come right out and say it, these same people that mock the "faux modesty" will mock the "outspoken arrogance." You sound like one of these people.

Wasn't Cornell the mid-tier school?

They were quoting excerpts, I don't think it was linear or complete.
