You are missing a whole demographic in your practice, TC.

Yeah, I don't remember this being about what you could go to a stuffy business meeting in.

I'm all for a swd theme this Friday, but I think it's silly how people complain that many of us don't dress down enough. I know it's shocking but it seems that a very large percentage of people interested in tailored mens clothing (participants in this forum) are businessmen, professionals and elderly retired persons.

Again, this isn't about dressing down per se. It means that people will have to think outside the box a bit in a realm that they're not probably used to. If people are really as stylish as they think they are, they'll pull this off fine- if not it'll show.

Expensive =/= style (but that's obvious in this forum).

I look forward to your specific commentary on how little style we have this Friday. I'm sure it will be very enlightening.

There are some guys here who, for better or worse, dress up seven days a week. I think maybe that's where some of the "complaints" are coming from.

You're completely missing the point of what I'm saying. Ill-fitting Isaia jeans =/= awesome, well-fitting levis do.

This. And they're hardly complaints. Get over yourselves (not moo).

Doing business in your casual outfit is not a requirement of this contest. Don't cop out.

I'm two of the three, and I wear jeans except for weddings and funerals. In any case, you can do it on Saturday. Or Sunday. You can even go to church in jeans. I'm sure god wouldn't care. FWIW, I also have a closet full of suits, and a growing collection of "proper" shoes.
