Note that it was definitely a black tie afair. I as wearing a wool argyl jacket with the collar in order to "dress everything down" with my collar. I just didn't think a Charlie and and collar would look that well, and I don't havea black berathea argyl . . . yet. (Shhhh. Don't tell the little woman.)

But . . . I did wear my very nice tartan hose which--if you look closely--would have repeated the tartan pattern in both turn-downs if I had done a little bit of twisting on the left leg.

The point is, I guess I may have been a bit underdresed, but poor clergymen have limited means. And I claim liturgical license since the servic started at 4:00 and carried over into the evening. In essence,all were appropriately dressed. IMHO. Hahahahahahaha.
