How does a Virginia gentleman normally dress for a nice occasion ? Wear shoes.

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.

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

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 .

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!!

How rude! You have obviously forgotten that beautiful Parker blue tie that I wore last year. I specifically remember you commenting on how nice it looked and even going so far as to inquire as to where you might buy one for yourself. To much bubbly most likely.

That was one natty tie brother!! Went well with the vest. It was a fun evening and it’ll be another good one this year. Let’s pick a table where we can heckle Chuck Bishop.

What did I do to deserve these "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune"? That's from Hamlet Mike, something you've probably never read, your more into comic books! Go ahead and heckle, I can dish it out too
