Cheap formal wear?

[mbhandy]

Ultimately if the kilt looks good, and the jacket looks good, and the whole outfit works together and is appropriate to the occasion it really doesn't matter an iota where the outfit came from.

I totally agree.

I personally agree with Chef's attitude, and would follow it up by saying that if someone does dress in a waiter's jacket, they should know that is what they are doing, that it is not the standard, but be okay with that.

As many people said, it's the attitude. I think that if I were to wear a low quality jacket trying to act like it was better than it was, I would be being rude. Now, if I wore the same jacket, but with no illusions of grandeur, I think that's a lot better.

I will always wear what I can afford, and if that's lower than the standard, it won't make me feel bad, but I will be aware of it, and I won't try to "fool" anybody.

As fluter said in another thread (this is the second time I'm echoing him), if you break rules it is important to know that you are breaking a rule.
