		Oxbridge is a name used to refer to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest in the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world.
		Other portmanteaux are occasionally derived from the term "Oxbridge"; for example "Doxbridge" (refering to Durham, Oxford, and Cambridge), which is used as the name of an annual sports tournament, or "Loxbridge" (referring to London, Oxford, and Cambridge) which is used as the name of a history group collaboration.
		Social critics in the United Kingdom also sometimes use "Oxbridge" or "Oxbridge Club" as shorthand for the "old boy network" that is said to dominate government, education, and other institutions.

		The colours of the stripes, how many there are and the width between them make each institution’s design unique.

	college scarves.. - Ask Andy FORUMS
		I think striped Oxbridge scarves with a crest on them are a relatively recent innovation probably dreamt up by the suppliers to make then more 'exclusive' to their shops and to put up the prices.
		I picked up the scarf on one of my first days here, but don't wear it much, not because it's gaudy but because it's a terrible scarf, about half an inch thick, heavy, scratchy wool, that is too thick to twist and loop like a lighter scarf.
