good man, and even moreso because he carried his stuff in bags instead of wasting money on luggage. i'll be that he is damn proud of his boat. he knows who he is, and isn't concerned with what others think. that's the mark of a real man I'm proud of my OH and some of that is true. Like you probably, he wouldn't hesitate to go shopping in muddy jeans and like you, won't go to certain functions if it means dressing up. But he does care what others think, and wouldn't dream of wearing anything ostentatious any more than he would dream of saying anything offensive to anyone. i would never wear anything ostentatious either

Quote the smelling good part i qualify. it used to be hi karate, but i've graduated to stetson. Smelling good starts with a good lot of soap and water and ends with just a touch of fragrance. Quote i consider a resturant, for example, which doesn't want to let you in for dinner unless you have a suit and tie, to be VERY stuffy. not much different than going to the opera, and i'd damn sure rather go to a toby keith concert This sounds like reverse snobbery. Surely I'm reading it wrong. back in my glory days, i always had a can of right guard in the glove compartment for an instant shower before i got to the bar after work. what would be reverse snobbery? when i was practically living in them, i would always much rather go to a wild beer bar than a cocktail lounge. it's supposed to be dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music. i was never much on the sedate, quiet places. the rowdier, the better

Reverse snobbery, as I understand it in this context, would be looking down on people who choose to dress up in their finery. I don't think Jumbo is doing that; he (like my OH) just prefers to go where "laid back and casual " rules.
We do sometimes see an opera, but only at the sorts of places where it is okay to dress down; Glyndebourne would be a no-no. But we know some very nice people who do attend, and by no means think them inferior!

When I used the term "ostentatious" I meant in the sense of something chosen to stand out and make the wearer noticed and commented upon; a deliberate "statement" is you like.
That would apply to working jeans worn at a smart funtion just as much as a catwalk fashion displayed at a neighbour's tea party.

When I used the word "ostentatious" I meant clothes that are deliberately chosen to make you stand out from the crowd. That could apply to "dressing down" by wearing working jeans to a smart funtion as well as sporting the latest catwalk fashion at a neighbour's tea party. why would you wear a catwalk fashion to a neighbor's tea party? the crumpet crumbs would get all over it. anyway, if that is the case, i suppose that i would be dressing ostentatiously by wearing my tshirts. they are intended for people to see, and be either amused or offended. for what it's worth, the overwhelming majority of girls think that my "boobs" tshirt is really funny. the staid folks just look at me, and usually look away

except here For centuries, clerics on the Arabian Peninsula have been issuing execution orders for religious "crimes"; women have been marginalized and punished to protect male malefactors; parents have sold little girls, too young to ride a bike, to elderly men. Hardly ever did anyone outside the region notice. But that was before the Internet, before blogs and Twitter, YouTube and Facebook - before almost anything that happened anywhere in the world was broadcast instantly to almost anyone who cared. The hook that caught people's attention in last year's case was the judge's refusal to grant the 8-year-old a divorce, indicating that the state endorsed child marriage. The judge was willing to order the man not to have sex with the girl until she reached puberty, four or five years later. (If he violated that, who would know?) Once again, Saudi Arabia faced rebukes from around the world, prompting the justice minister, Mohammed Al Issa, to suggest that it was time for child marriage to end.

or this in malaya Malaysian authorities are investigating the case of the two girls in Kelantan, both linked to a man who is accused of leading an Islamic cult.
He is accused of marrying the 11-year-old girl and giving away his 10-year-old daughter to a family friend.
Sharia court officials told the New Straits Times Tuesday the 11-year-old's marriage was not approved in court.
The girl was found outside a mosque in the nation's capital over the weekend and is now being treated in hospital.

Lots of different kinds of jeans. My older daughter has a responsible job that requires her to dress nicely - sometimes take clients out to nice restaurants (she's a human resources recruiter for medical personnel). She often wears slim legged (dressy) jeans - sometimes with a blazer, dressy blouse and heels, sometimes with a sweater and boots. They always look nice and appropriate. My husband also wears jeans to work, but not "work" jeans. lol
