Just have to throw in my tuppence worth. As a card carrying member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Old Farts, I am inclined to bemoan the demise of what I call "good taste" in clothing. I am not referring here to style, but to how the style is worn. I have seen T-Shirts and Jeans worn where I would wear at least a Sport Coat and a tieless shirt, and the wearer was neatly dressed. The T-shirt was clean, had no "message" on it, the Jeans were ditto, and pressed.

When I am working in my shop, I dress appropriately. When I go to a "Black Tie" dinner, I also dress appropriately. If I am mucking out a barn or stable, I dress appropriately. When I go into the "market" place, I do not wear the manure stained work clothes I wore in the barn.

That is, I think, the basic message of all the previous posts. I'll climb down now.
