I think these "special edition" bose QC 15s in brown/black/silver are the bomb doc com. (I have the regualr Silver and black version of these.) http://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Acoustic-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B00EWJHRMY
Bose has a newer model, that don't look quite as good. http://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-25-Headphones-Black/dp/B00M1NEUKK/ref=dp_ob_title_ce I'm hoping they do another special edition in brown for the QC 25.
I think it is hard to beat the Grado SR80.
It is a ridiculous value at $99 and exceptional headphones at that price point. Diminishing returns kicks in pretty heavily after listening to music through these headphones. Along with that, they carry a semi-vintage style that should work with any type of prep/trad outfits.
From the sound of the post, you seem far more interested in the appearance than the function. These headphones are excellent and look the part. Are there better headphones? Yes, but you'll pay for it and you probably won't get the same aesthetic.
Grado has a "reference" series where the headphones have mahogany. They cost 7 times as much and they don't sound 7 times better. They also have the GS1000E which is a fantastic headphone and has much bolder wooden accents. It also costs about $1000 and I don't feel it is worth it unless you are listening to analog and/or lossless music through extremely high end equipment. You'll hear how crappy the quality is between an mp3 or a lossless format.
To list some non-Grado options that would fit the aesthetic a bit...
There are so many fantastic books about the lifestyle. These are a few that are fashion/dress oriented:
Ivy Style
True Prep (update version of preppy handbook)
The Official Filthy Rich Handbook
Official Sloane Ranger Handbook
The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home
Theory of The Leisure Class
Brooks Brothers. Generations of Style. It's All About the Clothing
A Privileged Life: Celebrating Wasp Style
Lacoste: The Element of Style
How To Be A Gentleman series
I was just telling someone about how classy these look. I'm sure /r/audiophile would approve as well.
Length and style. 5"-7" inseam and stay away from "board shorts," etc.
While Speedo isn't really a preppy brand, these trunks actually look great and are my go-to this summer

I really like these. And they're renowned for their quality
I use this hanger for my ties and bow ties. It works really well, saves space, and is cheap.
They're these entry level pennies

The staple: Sahara
My next buy: Navy
And a classic summer time: White
Here is the $149 6" version and the $159 8" version
If you're looking for just a standard jacket, the Marmot Precip is fairly standard, and comes in a nice yellow. A lot of people seem to like the L.L. Bean Trail Model but I don't like the longer cut.
*Addendum: After more searching there is apparently a shorter L.L. Bean Trail Model. My apologies.
