Again, the words of a famous female Briton whose son was an avid hammer-gun shooter:

"Dress..[is] the one outward sign from which people in general judge upon the internal state of mind and feeling of a person...."

V.R. (1819-1901),

I think business casual or sport coat and tie is fine but shorts, T shirt, sandals and shooting vest is a no no.

Well thirty years ago I would have said just shy of “black tie” , but this isn’t thirty years ago and I’m not as worried about playing the part as I was then .

Think the last time I wore a shooting vest was thirtyfive years ago , I’m more of the belt/shell pouch type guy , but the t shirt shorts and sandles are right on time

A good friend of ours said his idea of dressing up was wearing socks

If Randy Roberts didn't have to wear a coat and tie to last year's banquet at Carolina Trace, neither do I!!!!!!! I can bring a brand new pair of moccasins, clean cargo shorts and a new Parker polo shirt. How's that? I wore a jacket and tie last year, two years in a row is unheard of!!

I'm sure the clean cargo shorts wouldn't be frowned upon as long as there was a sport jacket and tie.

Tell us about the jacket... is it a Harris Tweed?
