Wearing Suits to Lodge

[DocMustang]

Well it was lodge night in Alabama last night, they held a master mason degree. I showed up in my new linen suit and got several complements on it. Blue jeans were rampant on the sidelines and among the officers. At least there were no hooters t-shirts this time. I consider this to be progress. perhaps if I stick to my guns I shall inspire my brothers to wear proper trousers and leave the blue jeans at home. A fella can dream can't he?

There are several lodges in my town and they vary greatly on attire. My lodge is blue-collar oriented and the officers wear coats and ties in meetings. Everyone else varies from jackets to open-collar shirts. I wore a suit when serving on a Master Mason initiation but usually wear jeans or slacks and an open-collar shirt. No t-shirts or shorts are worn to any meeting. Scottish Rite meetings are another animal entirely. Coat and tie or suit is worn, with many of the officers in black tie.
