George, George, George, you do realize that I did wear a sport coat and tie? Granted it was leather, but it was a sport coat! It was rather stylish. I thought just wearing a tie would be enough but nooooooo!!! A tie is like a noose to me and a sport coat/suit like a straight jacket!!

That's why I like the Parker banquet, I can wear a Hawaiian shirt just like Chuck and Mike Franzen. That's as formal as I care to be. Just sayin'.

So that was you in the coat and tie? And we thought you didn’t make it

My check was in the mail as of last week and should be received by now

Get your self a Hawaiian sports coat, a clip on Hawaiian tie, you already have the shirt, and a pair of slacks and your all set. Just sayin!

Looking to Chuck and me for social cues might not be the wisest option. Now John Davis and Tom Wooden can teach you how to dress like a dandy!

It's not about playing dress up. It's about getting the job done, shooting gooder than others and winning BLING!! Plus, who wants to pack a suit/tie/dress shoes for a road trip that is 99% shooting?? Just sayin'.

Heck there was a time that I used to wear a coat and tie to UVA football games as well as anytime I went to steeplechase races or hunt meets . But like a good many other things that time has come and gone .

As always, your logic is impeccable! You might be the only one showing up in a Hawaiian shirt but I guarantee you won’t be the only one without a coat and tie. Coming from my perspective as someone who makes their living wearing funny robes and walking around barefoot, a coat and tie is a nice change of pace. I think those who may be outraged by a Hawaiian shirt could possibly be mollified by the addition of the traditional grass loincloth. Just a thought.
