re: The lack of men wearing suits at weddings and funerals is sad.

My grandfather did not leave the house without a coat and tie. He worked in his field in coveralls, but if he had to go anywhere but the feed store he took a shower, shined his shoes, and put on a coat and tie.
Was just having conversation with some folks in a meeting at the plant last week. Almost every older plant facility has locker rooms and showers(if they haven't been repurposed) that go 95% unused. The reason is your professional folks like engineers and managers dressed in shirt and tie and maybe coat until the 80s.
When they'd go out into field they'd change into a coveralls or 'field clothes' and when done they'd shower and dress back up to go into the buildings.
Now professionals in plants wear jeans or khakis, dri-fit polos or fishing shirts, and business casual 'sport' looking shoes. And they usually bring an extra shirt to keep in office if they get dirty/sweaty.
The trend is clearly gone but some evidence of it remains.
I think dressing up for work is fricking retarded. Save it for weddings, funerals, and events.

Perhaps a lot of poors where the OP lives. Weddings and funerals that I attend are all suits, and if you're not rolling in a custom suit you are kinda trashy.
