This^^^^ all I own are jeans I keep a pair startched and ready to go for when I have to dress up and look presentable.

some of you guys .... of course the dead isn't going to know, you still have to respect the family there too. Showing up as sloppy as you're allowed tells them that you didn't care enough to make yourself presentable, makes you look like rednecks, but that may be the case? lol
If you have nice clothes, wear 'em ... make an effort, otherwise is just lazy.
There, I said it.

A white or blue starched shirt in his closet at all times, a tie for a wedding and a tie for a funeral.
He should own a black or navy blazer, and should always have a pair of starched khakis and a pair of grey slacks in his closet. He said to always dress up, and never dress down for the occasions of weddings and funerals. I follow his advice. He was a wise man.

I can tell you one thing.....I do not want my body embalmed and looked very weird in a casket with a buncha people looking at me and crying and praying to baby jesus. Dear lord people.
You gonna get Bar-B-Q'ed?

And you typed "rednecks" like that some sort of person beneath you. To me it's something to embrace.

I have long been a critic of our culture's declining appreciation for 'propriety'. However, as I have aged a bit, I think it is more important to be there to show your sympathies than to stay away because you may not be dressed appropriately.
I still think you should try to be 'more dressed up' than going hunting or to the grocery store, but . . .

I can get along with that. I'll wear my nicest clothes every time...but I'm not buying a suit simply to say "I'm wearing my suit". Because I think suits look stupid.

I’ve worked cattle in numerous states on some pretty big spreads. It’s who I am. Ranching is in my blood and not life in a concrete jungle with stuffy people.Last edited by Worksalot; 11-12-2018, 03:49 PM.
