OCD, bigoted, yawn. Thank you, moderator, for keeping to a single standard by allowing these compliments to be posted. Aifah v’aifah.
Figured you could handle it, and it would give you a chance to reply. No harm intended by posting
There are two views presented here supporting the black fedora-black jacket-black pants dress. One is that this is a uniform that identifies the participant with a certain hashkafah, in this case the litvishe yeshiva way. As a uniform, it obligates only those who choose to belong to this team, no different than the uniform of the N.Y. Giants players. Anyone who chooses not to be a member of this team is not obligated to wear the uniform.
The second is that this mode of dress is preferred because one should dress in the most respectful way possible,as one would before a king or president. This specific yeshivish way of interpreting this required dress is highly debatable, and I totally disagree with it. Even so,I point out that the yeshiva boys do not comply with it, and anyone who thinks they do should take some lessons in etiquette, cleanliness and social norms. An eye examination would also help. Suffice it to say that no one dresses for mincha in the same clothing as for a date. The veldt clearly has voted with its actions and does not dress as if they were meeting the president.
So, if it’s just a uniform, and it is just that, lay off those who are not on your team. Let them daven with you without making a fuss. Dress the way you want, but don’t impose it on others. The others certainly don’t impose their dress on you.
Do you want to step it up for Shabbos? Wear cuff links. Put on an expensive tie. There are plenty of ways.
