The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

It was such a treat to visit - thank you so much for all your hospitality and the opportunity to meet (and re-connect) with so many excellent colleagues!

Also (I forgot Alt Text - apologies) glad that I've stumbled across (photo 1) a son of a Georgian planter who was born in Dublin and became Georgia's first official historian and (photo 2) The Duellist's Grave.
