I, too, will applaud Peter's comments. While I admire the style and fortitude of those who wear a coat and tie for
shooting and fishing, the south Georgia swamps and woods I rambled in as a child would make short work of such
attire, and I would not have survived the wrath of my dear mother for such destruction. My grandfather wore
overhalls (that, of course, is the correct spelling based on proper pronunciation where I grew up) when following a
mule growing up, but upon becoming the owner of the farm, excuse me - plantation, moved into a three-piece suit
for the remainder of his days, and like his father-in-law strode the fields in, as we say here, wingtips or brogued ankle
boots. Even when it was 110 Fahrenheit in the shade, with 85-100% humidity. Not for me.
Although in my defense, I have been seen on top of a ladder making emergency repairs or adjustments on opening
nights while wearing suits that would be 1500 - 2000 dollars today. Need occasionally has to override common sense.
