What's next? Banning students driving expensive cars to school or parents picking up their kids in expensive cars, banning students from using the latest iPhones, LV, Gucci bags, etc etc... what a joke.
High School Bans Canada Goose and Moncler Jackets To Protect Poorer Students

i refuse to buy canada goose. It is way too priced and ive found similar looking styles for far less and keeps me warm when needed. It is a good thing to ban it as it would make other kids feel like they must have that type of item. Society!
Jackets for winter. There is a difference between men and women's jackets. Womens are longer and can go mid thigh or lower. Men is hip length and goes not much longer. You normally don't see men wear long coats. In cold weather, snow suits are good, or coveralls with jackets.
Not clear how this ties into the topic but one of my two winter jackets goes down to just above the knee. And it is indeed a proper padded snow jacket.
Edit to add: and it was bought decades ago. Probably at Sears or Zeller's or something like that, back when we shopped based on stores rather than brands.

My siblings and I grew up poor. We ate plain food, wore plane clothes and hand me downs, had a good set of school clothes. If we wanted anything special above what our parents bought us we were told we had to earn it by getting a job. A job that we were only allowed to keep as long as our grades didn't slip. Imagine that, being taught to live within our means??? Oh and it turns out, those kids wearing the expensive clothes, just normal kids that I played with. You can't start early enough teaching your kids life lessons. Today I'm pretty damn frugal, my only vice now is good food, if I want a porterhouse, I'm gonna have a porterhouse. But I'll usually grill it at home and save myself a ton of cash.
I grew up/went to school in the 60s in Britain. At my school we all had to purchase our school uniforms from the school shop, and any profit made went towards books for the school. Even haircuts were done on rote by the school barber! There were very few ways to express one's individuality, or the 'financial status' of our parents. Looking back I really can't fault it! I cetainly don't see that it did me any harm.
The cost of the in-fashion streetwear brands is beyond any normal comprehension. Hasan Minhaj does a hilarious spot on Supreme brand that gets to the insanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKl_Y3EA7Sc
