My dad wears Sears work clothes to work.  Suits are for funerals,
as far as he's concerned. (no, not weddings, funerals)


I enjoy looking at men who have put some effort into looking nice -
and it doesn't seem to matter much what clothes they've chosen.
Large groups of men in suits remind me of the travel posters showing
natives in exotic lands all dressed up in their identical typical 
native costume.
