I'm in total violation of the scroll first, post later convention, but yes. Banana Republic specialized in making people look like guests on Brian Fellow's Safari Planet before the Gap decided they needed a high-end store.
I believe BR still pays homage to its roots periodically by stocking a couple correspondent-style vests in its larger stores (maybe just so Stephen Colbert can switch to khaki from bone after Labor Day).
